About Graham Rix

Since graduating in 1985 he has played all over the UK and Europe embracing many different styles and genres of music. As well as performing Graham has evolved as a much in demand workshop leader. His experience encompasses ten years of workshops in prisons and in addition workshops in hospices and working with people who have dementia and other people of all ages whose lives and circumstances are challenging in some way. He trained for nine years with the British Suzuki Music Association to become a level 5 Suzuki piano teacher and now teaches throughout the UK and Europe both online and in person. As a former member of Pianocircus, multi-piano music and contemporary music feature in Graham's activities as a musician.

I teach at home and online (Zoom, Skype or Facetime usually). My home studio is close to Eastry & Woodnesborough and covers areas including Canterbury, Sandwich, Woodnesborough, Deal, Dover, Wingham, Ramsgate, Ashford and surrounding areas.
