________________________________
I have been teaching piano to students of all ages and abilities since 2011, with most of my experience in working with young people. My approach to teaching is encouraging but exacting, focusing on giving each student the right practise tools to develop technique and discover new things. I enter students for ABRSM exams where desired, and have a 100% student pass rate to date.
I teach music in all styles (including classical, jazz, pop) and have a very broad range of musical interests and experience. I'm open-minded as a teacher, and would offer lessons based on ear-training and improvisation too, if exams were not the approach you wished to take.
I work as a professional pianist, conductor, and Associate Musical Director at Disney’s ‘The Lion King’, at the Lyceum Theatre in London. I'm lucky enough for this to be my 'day job', and it allows me to work with some of the world’s finest musicians and performers. Students studying piano with me will benefit from learning from someone with the enthusiasm, passion, and knowledge of a West End musical director.
Previously I have worked on other large scale musicals including Wicked and CATS, and have performed with these shows internationally.
I teach on a brand new Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano - this has the action and internal workings of an upright piano, delivering a realistic and authentic experience for the student.
I trained at King’s College London, gaining a 1st Class Honours Degree in Music (BMus).
Please do get in touch, and I’d be very happy to answer any questions!
