Term dates
Term 1: 13.09.21 - 23.10.21.
Although there are 6 weeks in this term, I have a few events booked which will mean I need to take some days off teaching. My son's 40th birthday necessitates a long weekend away for the family. This will be 17-20 September. Friday and Saturday students are very welcome to come on 10 and 11 September instead, if they wish. And I shall be on a piano course on 22 - 25 October. Term 2: 01.11.21 - 11.12.21 Term 3: 10.01.22 - 12.02.22 Term 4: 21.02.22 - 02.04.22 I shall be on a course 7-9 March, so this will affect those with lessons on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Term 5: 19.04.22 - 27.05.22 I shall be on holiday 11 - 16 May, and again 27 - 30 May. Term 6: 06.06.22 - 16.07.22 |

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 £16.50 per half hour, £33 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.
