Primary & Secondary Schools.
Welcome to my piano and keyboard teaching service! I specialize in offering peripatetic, one-to-one lessons for students in primary and secondary schools. My lessons are tailored to each pupil's individual needs and interests, ensuring a personalized approach that helps them thrive musically. Whether your students are beginners or more advanced, I aim to inspire a love for music while building their skills and confidence on the piano and keyboard. I work closely with schools to support students in their musical development, whether for school music programs, exams, or simply for enjoyment.
If you're interested in bringing piano and keyboard lessons to your school, please don't hesitate to contact me for further details and information. I’d love to discuss how I can work with your students to enhance their musical education!
