Learning piano should be enjoyable, flexible and pressure-free, so I adapt my teaching style to suit your interests and strengths.

I can support you through exams or keep things informal - it’s up to you. The goal is to help you build confidence and enjoy making music on your own terms.

I shape each lesson around how you learn best, creating a relaxed, supportive space to build skills at your own pace. I use simple, proven techniques – like spaced learning – to help things sink in and stick.
