Why Learn Piano?

Learning music does more than bring joy — it transforms the way your brain works, at all ages.

For Children

Music lessons strengthen memory, focus, and problem-solving — skills that carry straight into the classroom. Research shows that even one year of piano can measurably boost a child's cognitive development, building discipline and confidence along the way.

For Adults

Always wanted to play? It's never too late. Playing piano reduces stress and anxiety, builds new neural pathways, and gives you something that's entirely yours — a creative outlet away from screens and schedules.

For Older Learners

Playing an instrument is one of the best things you can do for your brain as you age. Studies link active music-making to sharper memory, faster processing, and a significantly lower risk of cognitive decline.

What You Get

Personalised Lessons

With your taste and expectations always at the centre, I assess and tailor each lesson as part of a long-term plan — building the skills and techniques every piano player needs while nurturing a lifelong love of music. Classical, pop, jazz, playing by ear, improvisation — whatever inspires you.

Fun & Supportive

Lessons take place at my home near Thames Ditton or in schools. I hold an enhanced DBS check and teach as a peripatetic tutor in secondary and primary schools.

Beginners to Advanced

From age seven to seventy-seven. I specialise in getting beginners started with confidence, and I coach more advanced players looking to push their skills further.
