My decades of experience in music were steeped in the famous Russian school of piano, and I am a proponent of the very best of its philosophy and methods.
I have years of experience as a performer, composer and instrumental teacher. I bring my practical experience, and ardent love for music, to my students.
Not everyone wants to do exams or be a concert pianist! Sometimes, a student wants a rigorous classical education in music,
Sometimes, a student wants to learn to play by ear that thing they heard on the radio.
Sometimes, a student just wants to pick up a hobby in later life.
Any musical direction a student desires to go in should be catered for! I provide personalised lessons, with a program designed to develop the particular skills YOU need to be the musician you want to be.
