Our slogan 'reach your full potential’ shows our philosophy that everyone can become a successful pianist however will not always follow the same paths. Every one is different and therefore we adapt our methods and teaching for the individual to guaranty success.

All Students will also have access to our student area (ask during your lesson for the pass-code). There you will have access to many Resources such as DIY board games and activities s to have fun whilst learning for the whole family. As well as information to help you on your musical journey.

In order for success work practice, and focus must be put in at home and during lessons. But no one says you cant have fun whilst doing it! I truly believe enjoyment encourages commitment and motivation and so especially with the theory and technique I make informative but engaging with games and kinaesthetic activities.

As we truly tailor the learning to the individual I use a rang of different and possibly multiple methods tending to mix between Suzuki, Dogs & Birds, Piano Safari , Alfred's Basic Piano Course or Vamoosh series depending on what suits the learning style of the student . all these methods  allow teaching reading music and playing piano in a logical and fun way without what i belive is a restricting emphasis on a fixed 'middle C' position.

It is important that the learner from the very beginning gets to experience the full sound, range and feel of a piano; therefore student should have access to preferably an autistic piano or an electric piano with no less than 88 keys with weighted keys and touch sensitivity.

For those with upright or grand pianos we recommend tuning at least every year Hampstead pianos are in the area and both reliable and affordable.

• you will need adjustable chair or a chair where the arm is at 45° to the keyboard when playing

• Piano Pedal Extenders are a great addition for our little pupils with growing legs ;) To make the pedals more accessible and to keep a good posture at the piano by having both feet on the ground.

• Make Practice Fun with a Metronome! Help your child become a rhythm master while learning piano! A metronome keeps a steady beat, making practice more fun and focused. Here is a link for the brand I would recommend Wittner,

  The classic :https://amzn.eu/d/j5U7DB6

  Or you can get the cheaper, Wittner piccolo (small) :https://amzn.eu/d/fnRS6T0

• We do not recommend putting stickers on the keys. If the student feels they need for additional support we would recommend - ‘Dogs and Birds piano tiles’ which are fully removable and customizable in order for learn without it becoming a crutch

• Note Rush is an app I myself regularly use as a teacher and one I would highly recommend for students wishing to improve there reading skills

We encourage parents to attend the lessons to understand the process and the practice needed. It is also a way of learning music for free for parents!

It helps if a parent or guardian helps support and encourage with their child's regular practice in between lessons regardless of age.

The younger the student, the more help they need between lessons. Although each family’s availability is different, we offer you all the support needed to be involved and informed as much as you can in your child’s musical journey.

Regular performance opportunities are crucial to overall musical development. It is my goal as a teacher to nurture each individual pupil and so I regularly host a winter student concert as well as encourage my students to take part in performances at their schools ,

I encourage and prepare students for competitive music festivals performance platforms and ABRSM examinations.

However it is key to keep in mind that ‘winning’ is not everything when comes to competing or examinations but more over for , the performance experience the sense of achievement and as a way to progress with goals to work towards.

For students following the Suzuki method who want a less pressured goal. the British Suzuki Institute (BSI) Graduation offers a wonderful alternative or complement to traditional ABRSM music exams

The BSI Graduation is a recognised achievement tailored specifically for Suzuki students.

for reference Level 1 Graduation is based on mastering Book 2, No. 4 in the Suzuki repertoire.

Successful students receive a badge, certificate and are invited to participate in special graduation concerts held at prestigious venues across Britain.

It is never too late to start learning how to play the piano!

Lessons are for everyone you can always take piano lessons for your pleasure and personal benefits.

Weekly tuition is the ideal scenario for every student, but some learners require more flexibility with lesson appointments.

Many people with busy family commitments, benefit from a fortnightly tuition plan. It is the perfect solution for students who wish to learn piano but whose schedule doesn’t allow them to commit to the same time and day every week.
