Teacher Profile
About Me
I teach ‘classical’ and improvising piano to all ages – beginner to diploma and I visit students at their home (in Bristol). I also offer online classes. I aim to help students make the most of their practice time and use a variety of teaching methods depending on their interests and abilities. I provide students with clear objectives at the end of each class. I teach beginners foundation keyboard skills using a mix of tablature and standard piano notation. I am the author of No Notes piano music (https://NoNotes.uk/) which uses easy-to-follow, tablature notation to help absolute beginners of all ages ‘find their fingers’. I encourage more experienced piano students not only to review their piano practice techniques but also to explore new repertoire: there is always something new to try, including music you make yourself! I am the Bristol regional organiser for the European Piano Teachers’ Association (EPTA) and I organise the Open Piano Platform (https://opp.home.blog/) which provides local pianists with regular performance opportunities.
