My teaching methods are unlike traditional music lessons. I found every lesson where id sit down and read sheet music for an hour to be boring and monotonous so I decided to teach myself the songs I actually wanted to learn without a teacher. In a lesson, I will combine methods from traditional lessons, as well as more modern methods which are the ways I managed to learn multiple songs quickly.

My lessons are tailored more toward younger people in that it involves learning songs visually through synthesia (Falling notes) tutorials you can find online. These can be challenging to start with but once you can understand the basics of piano playing, you can pick it up quite quickly.

Along with this, I will still teach students the basics of sheet music and help them understand and read sheet music and turn it into physical music, however this will not be as in detail as with a registered tutor within the musical grading system.

My style of teaching tailors more toward people who just want to learn to play songs they like rather than taking piano up the grading system, as for that I believe id be under qualified.

My target audience are people aged between 12 and 17 and who are new to playing piano, although im open to teaching older/younger ages too. Naturally, id require my students to have regular access to their own piano so that I can teach. I am based in Luton, which I can move about more freely in but for weekend lessons (Which id prefer), I can travel up to Bedford aswell.
