Experienced and Successful Piano and Theory of Music Teacher for pupils from 4 years to adult.

I regret that I currently have a full teaching list, and do not keep a waiting list. 

If you go to https://epta-uk.org/find-a-teacher/

on the European Piano Teachers' Association website

you can search for other teachers in the area using the search boxes on the righthand side of the page. 

I am an experienced and flexible piano teacher of pupils of all abilities from age 4 years to adult. It is always wonderful to commence this music journey with a beginner of any age. Pupils who have previously had lessons, either recently, or many years ago, are also very welcome.

Lessons are tailored to pupils' individual needs, skills and enthusiasms. My pupils may choose ABRSM piano exams, or graded learning 'for fun' without examination. I am a Professional Member of EPTA (the European Piano Teachers' Association) and hold a PGCE teaching certificate.

All pupils must have access to a piano for daily practice. Digital pianos do not need tuning, but, if you have a traditional piano please ensure it is tuned regularly.

A Pupils' Concert is held annually, to which pupils invite their parents, siblings, grandparents, spouses etc..

I teach ABRSM Grade V music theory. This examination must be passed before the pupils can be entered for piano examinations at Grade VI and above. My tuition is well organised and effective.

• Piano: 25 minute lesson. For child beginners, and up to the end of Grade III £22.00
• Piano: 50 minute lesson. For adult pupils, and children at Grade IV and above. £44.00
• Theory of Music: 25 minute lesson £22.00

Lesson fees must be paid in cash (only) at every lesson. 

For piano and theory pupils a set of music books is also required. I supply these for £45 and they will last at least a couple of terms, and probably a year.

There is a trial period of two lessons, during which the pupil can terminate the contract without giving notice. From the third lesson, six weeks' notice of cancellation (or payment in lieu) must be given.

Payment for lessons missed through sickness, family holiday etc. If you very occasionally need to change a lesson because, for example, the pupil has a hospital appointment, I will do my best to find a mutually convenient time.  If a pupil has an extended absence (three lessons or more) due to serious illness  the fourth and subsequent lessons are charged at half the normal fee. All missed lessons must be paid for, even if the absence is notified in advance.

Lesson fees increase on 1st September annually.

Lessons are held at my home in Gerrards Cross, which is a few minutes' walk from Gerrards Cross Railway Station. There is a place to leave bicycles, and car parking space on my drive.

I teach on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  I am sorry, but my teaching list is currently full.  Lessons in term time only - no lessons in school holidays. A list of dates for the current academic year will be provided.

All pupils aged under 11 years must be accompanied during lessons by a parent (or other appropriate adult). I expect parents to assist younger children to practise productively at home. If you need to bring other children to wait during the lesson I have a box of toys, colouring pencils etc, and a table that another child could sit at to do homework.

DBS certificate and Public Liability Insurance are held. I am registered with the ICO.
