UNFORTUNATELY I AM UNABLE TO TAKE NEW PRIVATE PUPILS AT THE MOMENT. I WILL UPDATE THIS PAGE IF/WHEN SPACE BECOMES AVAILABLE.
I have been teaching the piano for over 20 years, starting with Surrey County Arts and then operating as a private teacher within local schools when we moved to the Cotswolds. I currently teach in Wychwood C.of E Primary School and Bledington Primary School as well as at home and in Wychwood Baptist Church. I have also just been hired to teach at The Cotswold School from September 2023 which I'm really looking forward to! I teach all ages - literally from 5 to 80s..!Through my years of teaching and also my own experience as a parent I have come across so many different kinds of education including Montessori, state schools, home education and a specialist SEN school. This has really informed my teaching philosophy as I truly believe there is no 'one size fits all' and every pupil learns in their own way, at their own pace and in their own style. Therefore I take time to get to know my pupils, see how they tick, what works and what doesn't, and hopefully be flexible enough to make changes where necessary!
Some of my pupils take exams and others don't. I encourage many of them to take part in the annual 'Chipping Norton Music Festival' as this is a fantastic opportunity for performance and feedback. Pictured is my pupil Jonty, who won the 'Most promising primary school pianist' award last year, with a trophy presented by guitarist Craig Ogden.
I am a full member of the ISM.
