Teaching
As a teacher I encourage students of all ages, from young children to adults, including those starting lessons much later in life. I teach from the early stages of learning up to an advanced level, always trying to maintain a diverse mix of ages and levels in my teaching studio. A focus of mine is teaching musicality and stylistic awareness to intermediate and advanced students, and on tailoring lessons to the individual student, thereby providing a musical and enlightening atmosphere. I prepare students for graded and diploma examinations, as appropriate. My students regularly take exams and perform well - I am happy to provide examples upon request.
I also teach music theory and musicianship, in addition to piano. For piano students these elements are integrated into our lessons as much as is practicable, but I also teach them as standalone subjects for more in-depth study, from introductory level up to grade 8.
