Hello! I am a piano teacher based in Dundee with over half a decade of experience teaching children and adults of all ages and abilities. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced player, I can help you. My lessons are available both online and face-to-face.

Give yourself or your child the opportunity to learn and enjoy music. For children especially, the ability to understand and play music will stay with them for their whole lives. For adults, there have been numerous studies that show the benefits of learning a musical instrument like the piano. It has even been suggested that it may help to stave off the onset of Alzheimer's (though, obviously, do still seek medical advice.)

I offer lessons lasting 30-minutes or 1-hour at £15 or £30 respectively. What we study in those lessons, after learning the most fundamental skills of piano playing, will depend on each individual student. Everyone is different and so I tailor the genres and styles of music we play to the student who is before me.

In general, however, the lesson structure follows certain key areas: studying set pieces of music, sight-reading to allow the student to develop their playing and musical tastes on their own, and exercises to build finger strength and dexterity.

The first piano lesson is always free!
