You can also find a wealth of useful goodies on the Resources page.

General information
I am a fully qualified teacher of piano and music theory with many years' experience. I have two teaching diplomas - LRAM and LGSM. I teach all styles of piano playing, and people for whom it is appropriate can take examinations. Although I do visit two schools as a peripatetic teacher, most of my students have their lessons at my home; I do not do home visits because it would take up so much more time and would be more costly. I feel I can give the best value when teaching at home, where all my resources are present. Although I love teaching absolutely anybody of any age, at any level, I have a special interest in teaching those who don't necessarily learn in the same way as most people do. This includes people with dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism, Downs...
The cost of lessons is £16 per half hour, £32 per hour. This is payable by bank transfer, cheque or cash one term in advance. In the case of missed lessons, I will try to make up the time but if this is not possible I will give a refund if I was responsible for cancelling the lesson, or if the cause of cancellation was pupil sickness. In the case of a pupil cancelling for other reasons and giving less than 48 hours notice, then the lesson and fee will be forfeited.
