Having taught piano regularly since 2015, I have experience working with students of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to highly advanced pianists. I teach children, teenagers and adults, tailoring my approach to each student’s individual goals and motivations. Whether students are preparing for ABRSM exams, learning for pleasure, developing their musicianship, or fulfilling a long-held ambition to play piano, I aim to make lessons both engaging and rewarding. I have a 100% pass rate among students taking ABRSM exams.

I also value the collaborative and social aspects of music-making, creating opportunities for students to play four-hand duets and take part in informal recitals. Students’ health and wellbeing are central to my teaching, with particular attention to suitable repertoire, healthy posture and effective, sustainable practice strategies.

Sean studied at the Royal Northern College of Music, graduating with First-Class Honours and a Distinction at postgraduate level. He completed three years of specialist training in instrumental pedagogy, receiving the Fergal O’Mahoney Prize for the highest mark awarded. Sean is a passionate and enthusiastic teacher who delivers individually tailored lessons to children and adults of all abilities. He places the learner at the centre of the teaching process, fostering confidence, creativity, and musical growth.

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.

My name is Rebecca and I am a qualified Primary school teacher with over 20 years of experience in the classroom. I specialise in music education, currently teaching music in schools including whole class instrumental lessons, curriculum music and leading singing assemblies. I also teach the piano on a 1:1 basis, using my experience to tailor lessons to individual needs and learning styles.

I believe music should be accessible to everyone and that learning an instrument should be fun and deeply rewarding.
