Tutoring Experience:
Over 50yrs of Keyboard and Piano experience.

I have experience with children who have special needs and concentration issues.
100% Exam Pass Rate.All Pupils passing their Graded Music Exams.
Currently studying several Diplomas in Teaching and Education.
Tutoring Approach:
I do not wish to teach adults due to the fact too many give up and waste my time.
Presently teaching online and have done so since March 2020 due to the current Covid situation. I am using, FaceTime, WhatsApp,Duo and other platforms.I have taken advice to continue this way until it is less unlikely to be a danger to myself, family and other students.
Face to face your not allowed to sit beside pupils by law and not allowed to touch piano. One would need to keep spraying chemicals on keys and this will cause serious issues.
I hope to be able to offer fade to face and online in The near future. All students are still hitting targets, online tuition has not changed anything at all.
My methods work and are fun. Patience is the key to good teaching.I can cut the average tutorial time by 1/3 compared to many other teachers.Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.I will inform you on the 12th week if it is worthwhile you continue learning the piano/keyboard.
My pupils learn on the Roland HP 506 Piano and Tyros 5 keyboard. I will teach you how to play,understand and compose.
I can teach relaxation methods as part of music lesson or on a separate basis.
Parents must be fully supportive of their child's education and not of their own expectations.
