Learn to play the piano from an expert tutor on a beautiful state-of-the-art Yamaha NU1 hybrid piano.

Based in North Greenwich, near the O2 where there are great travel links. Parking available if you need it.

Suitable for kids and adults alike, beginner to advanced!

I am a qualified teacher, holding a QTS qualification from the Institute of Education (UCL) - so you can rest assured that I have the teaching expertise covered, as well and the musical.

COVID-19 note: Using Zoom, or similar, with screen sharing these lessons can be provided remotely.

The piano is one of the best first instruments to pick up as a newbie in music - gives you a solid base of musical understanding, teaches you how to read notes in both upper and lower clefs, and boosts your confidence when recognising pitches with multiple voicings as we work our way up.

We can do free-form learning or follow a goal-oriented learning programme (climb the ABRSM grades).

We'll break down the work needed to master all the way from scales to exam pieces to aural to sight reading.

I am flexible - let's work to your needs and preferences!

In the singing lesson we look at breathing, vocal technique, language, expression and interpretation. I take much pleasure in watching a student grow and facilitating their development and helping them on their own path. The most important thing to me is that they enjoy using their voice and telling a story through music.

I have recently graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance with a Master of Music degree with distinction. Through the developing of my private practice, I am becoming increasingly interested and deeply passionate about teaching singing and singing pedagogy. For me, music – and especially singing – is all about communication, between performer and audience, between composer and performer/audience, between teacher and student; it is about conveying a story and human emotions that people can relate to and that give us a sense of connection and belonging. This requires not only a deep understanding of technical skills, but also a sensitivity to the text and the way it is set into music, both melodically and harmonically.

Whether you want to sing for fun, be coached through the ABRSM graded singing exams, or brush up your understanding of music through theory lessons, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Singing Ethos:
My belief is that everyone can learn to sing when taught properly and holistically and can experience the joy of discovering the unique qualities of their individual voice. This is a joy which I share with my students and why I find teaching so rewarding. My experience is predominantly (but not exclusively) with children and I love to watch as their love for their voice grows.

What you can expect:
I believe it is important to teach with an emphasis on technique and vocal health, so from the first few lessons students learn about the body and the way the voice works. I address this through exercises and breathing techniques as well as songs appropriate to age and stage; (usually based around the appropriate ABRSM Grades). I strive to create a fun, nurturing environment where learning and confidence can be optimised.
I currently study with Sophie Grimmer, a highly respected and accomplished vocal teacher based in London who has performed at venues across Europe and London such as ENO. Therefore everything I teach my own students is informed by the world class tuition I am lucky enough to receive, (but of course adjusted so that it is age appropriate). This ensures that the tuition I give is always current and reflects the ever evolving industry standards for vocal tuition.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I am very proud to be a keeper of the Russian Music School tradition, and also very proud of my musical and teaching legacy - my teachers’ line can be traced back to Beethoven himself!
I have vast experience in teaching classical piano to people of all levels, ages and backgrounds. In case you just don’t know where to start or want to get to know the basics of playing - I possess a very unique teaching method for beginners based on my teachers’ research and enhanced by my own experience (over 10 years), which allows you to get to know the piano and see how you’re feeling about it. If you are rather advanced and looking for expanding your knowledge - I’m ready to back you up with not just useful tips, but some history and more profound understanding of where the composer you’ve chosen (and maybe even this particular work you’re interested in) came from. My approach is very individual and well-rounded, so if you really want to explore what it is all about and how it works and have passion for that - so do I!

My name is Andrea, I have recently concluded my Artist's Master in keyboard instruments at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. My passion for music induced me to apply in the “Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria” in the course of Harpsichord as my principal study. After 10 years studying music and obtaining the diploma of “Grado de Enseñanzas Profesionales” in the conservatory, I developed a deep interest for Classical and Early music for keyboard instruments.

Discovering a historical and musical universe, I decided to continue my performing and theoretical investigation studying the bachelor course in keyboard instruments including piano, harpsichord and organ. I had the amazing opportunity to obtain a scholarship and study at the "Conservatorio Tartini di Trieste", in Italy. Working with exceptional teachers, i was able expand my linguistic abilities and cultural appreciation for the expressive diversity of Keyboard music. I have discovered the magnificent variety between many composers all around Europe and the distinct features and techniques they utilized to improvise and to embellish their pieces. During this artistic journey, i have had extraordinary performance experiences as a soloist including playing at the Parlament of Brussels and the National Gallery in Bosnia. Recently, living in London has inspired me to take part in a wide variety of exciting projects such as performing as a keyboard accompanist in Opera Scenes and with the Guildhall Baroque Orchestra in the Milton Court Concert Hall.

I am Teacher Agnes. I have been teaching piano for 22 years. I specialize in teaching piano and piano theory courses. I worked as a piano teacher in a school in Hong Kong five years ago and have a good communication relationship with students.

I am a classically trained pianist with a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Piano and a Master’s degree in Musical Directing, bringing over a decade of experience to both performance and teaching.

With more than 12 years of experience working with adults and children, including those with special needs and learning differences, I have developed a teaching style that is both patient and structured. I believe that a strong foundation in technique opens the door for true musical expression, allowing every student—no matter their age or ability—to discover the joy of making music.

I am well-versed with the different examination boards such as ABRSM/Trinity/Rockschool

Whether I am preparing a student for exams, guiding beginners through their first scales, or encouraging creativity through performance, my goal is always to foster confidence, discipline, and artistry at the piano.

My piano lessons are designed for both children and adults, from complete beginners to intermediate learners. With a strong classical background and over seven years of teaching experience, I focus on building solid technique, musical understanding, and confidence while keeping lessons enjoyable and motivating.

For children, lessons are structured but engaging, helping students develop good practice habits, rhythm, reading skills, and musical expression through age-appropriate repertoire. I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel encouraged and progress steadily at their own pace.

For adult learners, lessons are tailored to individual goals, whether learning for personal enjoyment, returning to piano after a break, or improving technique and musicality. I adapt teaching methods to suit each student’s learning style, ensuring lessons are clear, practical, and enjoyable.

My teaching combines technical foundation, musical expression, and a positive, patient approach, helping students build long-term confidence and enjoyment in playing the piano.
