    Day and evening, Monday to Friday. The slots are as follows: 9.45am, 11.00am, 3.30pm, 5pm, 6.15pm, 7.30pm. The evening slots tend to get booked up.

  • Do you teach total beginners?
    I'll give you a few lessons to get things off the ground but then I would recommend that you find a non-specialist teacher to study the basics.

  • So what standard do I need to be?
    This very much depends on what you are trying to achieve but some knowledge of the basic scales would be useful. For more info click How Can I Help You?

  • What kind of clients are on your books?
    Musicians, producers, DJs, songwriters, keyboard players in bands, accompanists, music therapists…but mostly people that just want to sit down at a piano and be creative!

  • Do I need to be able to read music?
    It will certainly help if you can read the treble clef but it is not essential.

  • Do you teach other styles apart from jazz and blues?
    Yes, anything from rock/pop to funk/soul music but I no longer teach Classical.
