You can develop musical skills and musical understanding through lessons with an experienced and qualified teacher.

With expert guidance you can learn to play with ease and avoid the pitfalls of faulty technique.

Make your playing a joy to listen to using methods based on natural, scientific biomechanical principles for use of the hands, arms, and fingers.

Expressive playing comes from combining easy technique with an understanding and appreciation of the languages of music.

Little by little children and adults learn the nuts and bolts: note names, intervals, scales, chords, rhythms, and more. Each concept on its own is simple but the combinations give you a huge variety of music you can explore.

Most students also want to learn to read musical notation, which I encourage. I became extremely fluent at reading music but that’s a long term project for most people. So there’s a little reading, and ear training, in each lesson.

What music do you want to play?

Over several decades my students have learnt a wide range of piano music in many different styles.

You can bring sheet music you like to the lesson to learn, or I can get recommended pieces and books for you. Choosing the right music to work on is an art in itself so we always discuss it, and we don’t try pieces you don’t want. There is no shortage of music to choose from.

I teach piano and theory from age 8 to 88, including complete beginners of any age. Lessons are in the students’ own homes or online.
