I studied at the Royal College of Music, studying piano with Lilian Gaskell and composition with William Lloyd-Webber . I have been teaching for many years - all ages, from 5 to 85 - piano, theory and music appreciation, for beginners to Advanced students, and have always found teaching an immensely enjoyable and rewarding profession. I do not believe in entering students for one exam after another and do so only if I think they will benefit from the experience. I believe that a life-time's love of music is the greatest gift of all.
