Biography

I started playing the piano aged 7 and have continued to do so all of my life. I am passionate about passing on this wonderful skill to my students.

I enjoy listening to and playing different genres of music, and aim to give a lifelong love of music to my students. I make the learning experience fun and enjoyable which aids student’s progress. I encourage them to try out contrasting styles and different composers when choosing pieces giving them a varied repertoire.

I have high professional standards and expect my students to work hard to achieve their full potential. A large number stay for many years progressing to high grades. I encourge my students to enter for public exams using the examination board London college of Music who offer examinations worldwide achieving Distinctions and Merits.

I am kind, empathetic and patient.
