Hello! My name is Ian and I am a piano teacher and musician from Scotland. I have been teaching piano for 10 years this year, and hold a Bachelors of Music Degree in Classical Piano from The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Having trained at RCS, I of course have a passion for classical music, teaching students to read music, and developing a strong and proficient technique. I took the ABRSM Grades myself all the way to Grade 8 (which I passed with distinction at age 17) and have taken numerous students through their grades with a 100% pass rate, and many achieving high distinction passes! I value the ABRSM system, and I can confidently guide a student through that process with my experience and expertise. However I also love jazz music, pop music and learning and playing by ear. I know all too well the thrill of being able to learn your favourite pieces just for the enjoyment of it, and I have had many happy students who have followed this more casual approach to learning to play the piano with me as their teacher. I aspire to be an encouraging, supportive tutor with every individual. Everybody is different, and we can work together to achieve what is best for you!

Additionally I play Alto and Soprano Saxophones to a +Grade 8 standard, as well as working as an actor, having graduated from RADA in 2020 – so I bring an all-round creative approach to my teaching!

Hello, my name is Debbie! I am a pianist with Grade 8 distinction and a recent graduate of the University of Bristol with a BA in Music. I started playing the piano when I was six and studied with a focus on Western Classical music and the Suzuki Method under the tutelage of Raymond Clarke, Yukiko Osedo and Esther Reinders.

I encourage students to draw out the musical intentions of the composer or style that they are exploring whether it be classical, pop or worship and more by emphasising musical sensitivity and stylistic nuances. Having taught for two years and serving as a church pianist for ten years, I am confident in interacting with all ages and abilities with patience, understanding, encouragement and a strong sense of responsibility. For students who wish to progress in grades, I aim to equip them with skills that meet the ABRSM or Trinity examination requirements.

 Ultimately, I wish to stimulate my students’ love for the piano and music in general by building on their interests and challenging them to explore their musical capabilities.

Hello! I have been teaching piano since I graduated from the Royal Academy of Music. I teach both children and adults, from beginners to advanced. I also prepare students for exams – ABRSM/Trinity/Jazz/Rock School so I can offer a wide variety of repertoire even though my beginnings were very much classical.

I make lessons fun and it is important to me to get to know the individual and tailor lessons for them so that it brings out the best and the happiest scenario for the student. Technique and repertoire go hand in hand and no matter which route is taken it is important that there is a clear progression in standard.

I like to communicate openly and it is important if any pupil has any concerns about their lessons to always feel they can talk to me. I want every student to walk out of their piano lesson happy and wanting to come back!

Lessons take place at my house in Stroud Green where I have a lovely airy music room. I am able to have parents wait in my living room if that is needed. Currently I teach also at Parliament Hill School for Girls, Brookfield Primary School and the Camden Saturday Music Centre.

I’m proud Mum to a 10 year old daughter. When I’m not working I love walking, swimming, Pilates, cycling, sewing, singing and reading.

I have a wealth of experience and love passing on my passion for music to others. I look forward to hearing from you!

Although currently only teaching adults, I have been running a busy teaching practice in Muswell Hill for over 30 years, teaching all ages and standards, and I ran the ABRSM exam centre from my house for around 10 years during that time. As a student, I studied Dance and Piano at Middlesex Polytechnic, then later on met Nelly Ben Or and studied intensively with her both privately and on her courses for many years, gaining a very deep understanding of how we can use the principles of the Alexander Technique at the piano.

During lockdown, when students were struggling to concentrate, I felt the most important thing was that people had a relief from the pandemic. We continued with pieces but focussed primarily on the enjoyment of playing and finding some solace. Some students enjoyed concentrating on details, but with others I concentrated on improvising and we found ourselves looking at the piano in almost a holistic sense, understanding how our life at the piano is a mere microcosm of our whole. This can have a strong impact on our approach whatever it is we do at the piano so my teaching continues to grow and develop into something very unique, while continuing to cover all the basics.

I still play myself; I can’t imagine not continuing with my own development, and am currently working on some two piano repertoire with a friend. I also play some jazz but am classically trained and teach from this perspective, making sure to include theory, harmony, technique, improvising, and everything else that makes the piano so wonderful!

She graduated with honours at Music Academy at University of Arts in Belgrade in 2004 where she gained her Masters degree a few years later.

After she graduated, she started her teaching career. Through the years she has enjoyed teaching children from age of 5 and up, keeping lessons fun and relaxed as well as preparing them for the exams, competitions and recitals.  Her students performed in many concerts and music festivals and many continued with music in their higher education.

Anna has been privately teaching piano lessons in New Zealand for the past 2 years. Her students include young and adult beginners to sitting Grade 8 exams. She makes sure her young beginner students are learning and understanding musical concepts clearly, as well as having fun by using colour pencils and stickers. Students sitting exams have pre-planned lessons to make sure their goals are achieved in a timely manner.

Anna’s qualifications include ATCL in Music Performance (piano) and Grade 8 theory. Her notable achievements include achieving first in New Zealand for Advanced Certificate in 2014 (at age 18) and Grade 7 theory in 2013 (at age 17). From her history of classical performance, she knows exactly how to play a piece to communicate a music’s spirit. This is highly advantageous in exam settings as students will learn, in detail, how to express music and their own personal style to achieve a great mark.

Though Anna primarily focuses on reading music and theory in her lessons, she is open to accommodating to students that play by ear to pop songs, alternative songs etc. Playing pieces within her student’s interests gives them great enjoyment and an incentive to keep playing the piano; Anna enjoys seeing her students being excited and happy when playing a piece they like!
