About my lessons:

My lessons are tailored to helping you achieve the results you are after, whether that's in learning a new piece, or brushing up on your scales, sight-reading or aural skills in preparation for an exam. I will be able to share useful techniques to help you along, which I am confident will make for more effective and enjoyable practice sessions. I am offering virtual Zoom lessons as well as in-person lessons at my place (Wimbledon).
