Lessons run from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your child's level and preference, and every session is built around genuine progress rather than just ticking boxes.

How I teach:

- I mix theory with practical playing so lessons stay engaging rather than repetitive drilling
- Each week I guide the best way to practise a piece, then listen back the following lesson with clear, constructive feedback
- I focus on building a real relationship with both student and parent, it makes goals easier to reach and keeps things comfortable and transparent
- Open, honest communication between us means we can move toward your child's goals efficiently, and hopefully quickly too :)

Whether your child is just starting out or working toward their next grade, I'd be considerate of their pace and love to help them enjoy piano as much as they progress at it.
