teaching

 My teaching has become irreplaceable part of my life as a musician. Irreplaceable in the sense that the levels of fulfilment and learning involved go both ways. As a young teacher, born into a family of educators, I have grown up understanding the value of effective communication and how to materialise this into progress. My teenage years spent at a specialist music school enabled me to value how important musicianship’s space in society is and how essential it is for holistic learning beyond school. 

At the root of my teaching is collaboration. I treat each and every one of my student’s as a musician first and foremost and I never want them to be inhibited. Yes, we work hard to achieve results but music-making is a life-long skill to be nutured and most importantly, enjoyed! 

My piano students vary in standard, experience, interests and ages. Some take it very seriously and others don’t - both are just as welcome! All I ask is for attentiveness and open ears to learn. I tend to follow ABRSM/Trinity exam boards so as to acknowledge levels of achievement but also am very glad not to do this. I have a basic syllabus that I follow, comprised of a variety of materials discovered over my ten years of teaching but this is always honed to each individual students needs and desires. I am adding to it always, so it is a constant, living, breathing source of my teaching. I also place a lot of value on other aspects of musicianship such as composition and chamber music and encourage students to link up for duet-based lessons.
