About your lessons

I teach the theory required at every stage of development.

I’m a specialist at helping pupils through the grade 5 theory exam compulsory to progress to higher grades on instruments, and the grade 6 required for higher diplomas and degree courses.

I understand well all the difficulties pupils encounter and know all the tricks to get over them.

I offer expert guidance on composition, particularly useful for GCSE and A’ level examinations.

It is pleasing to see Craig continuing to develop as a musician. You were more to him than just a piano teacher – his mentor and confidant. I thank you for encouraging his musical talent and helping him develop into a fine piano player.

ElaineAdult guitar pupil moving abroad
I am most proud of achieving a distinction with my Grade 6. I am so pleased I came to you when I picked up my guitar again after 35 years off. You helped me to rekindle my enthusiasm for classical guitar and introduced me to the Renaissance repertoire which I particularly enjoy.
