I cannot recommend Julia enough as a piano teacher. Her knowledge and passion for music really shines through in every lesson, as does her commitment to teaching and seeing her students develop. As a mature student who started taking piano lessons relatively recently, I was more than a little hesitant about finding the right teacher. However, from the moment I met Julia I felt very comfortable with her and it was obvious that she really listened to what I wanted to get out of lessons and in turn tailored lessons to my needs. Julia is patient and encouraging. Lessons with her are interesting and fun - so much so that I don’t even realise that I’m learning throughout but I can certainly hear it in my playing. (I’ve seen myself improve much more quickly than I had ever anticipated.) Also, aside from the immense pleasure I get out of seeing myself being able to play more challenging pieces week on week, the icing on the cake is receiving Julia’s really great lesson summaries. Each summary sets out what I’ve covered during my lesson; helpful and constructive information regarding what I need to work on / continue to practise in between lessons; and details of what my lesson will cover the following week. If you’re looking for a piano teacher who is very experienced and who will make you love developing your piano skills - Julia is absolutely the piano teacher for you.

Julia is an amazing piano teacher. She is patient, kind and very good at teaching the children. My son adores her and always comes out of his lessons with her with a renewed love of playing the piano.

Julia taught all four of my children for a period of over 10 years. Julia always maintained a sense of fun and she prioritised enjoyment. She always treated the children as individuals, taking into account their own strengths and preferences as she worked with them to develop plans that would hold their interest and encourage them all to achieve their full potential. The firm foundations provided by Julia have set up a lifelong relationship with the piano for all my children.
