I start playing Keyboard at age 14 and decided after only a handful of lessons that I wanted to teach and pass on such a wonderful gift. After four years studying my Keyboard, Piano & Music Theory Grades & achieving a National Diploma in Popular Music, I started working at Fox’s Music in Nottingham where I remained for 3 years learning all I could about the world of Digital Pianos & Keyboards.
When I was 21, and had achieved all my Music Grades, I finally got my first chance to teach, Fox’s Music had been bought out by William’s Music who had then gone into liquidation. Roger Hagarty (Fox’s Music & Williams Music Manager) decided to open his own music store called Roger’s Music and invited me to open my own Teaching Studio on the premises. I jumped at the chance and have never looked back.
But in March 2019 Sean Cumberland (Owner of Roger’s Music since 2016) decided to cease trading. This caused me to make a big decision regarding the Music School.
So, after months of preparation my NEW Teaching Studio is now OPEN!
Here at the Studio I believe learning to play Piano or Keyboard should be about enjoying yourself, whether you are 7 or 87 years old! We do offer Examinations in Keyboard, Piano & Music Theory for any students wishing to take exams or we have a Learning For Yourself Course. This is all about learning for pure pleasure, the songs you love to listen to.
If you would like to have a go at playing Piano or Keyboard I offer a FREE TRIAL 30 minute lesson to all new students. I am based at:
