      Piano Teacher

      I have almost four years experience of teaching the piano. I have taught pupils up to grade 4 level, but having achieved grade 8 myself would be happy teaching to a higher level. As well as providing a solid musical foundation I also encourage pupils to explore music on their own to create a more fulfilling teaching experience for both the pupils and me. I have also achieved grade 8 on clarinet and organ and would be happy to teach these as well.
