With 30 years of experience accompanying and performing, I also teach piano and music theory. I prefer to centre lessons around the student’s goals, which can include anything from preparing for exams, learning to improvise, studying theory, composing or merely playing pieces for enjoyment. I teach individual and group lessons. I have some experience teaching neurodivergent students; dyslexia and music education is the specific focus of my current research at the University of York (PhD student). I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities.
