Professionally Trained Piano Teacher in South Croydon and Surrounding Areas

From 57.01 € /h

Learn to play the piano with a professionally trained musician with 10 years of instrumental teaching experience. I teach pupils of all levels and ages and have experience in teaching both adults and children. Every pupil is different and learn in different ways and I believe that it is important to identify what each student responds to in order to get the best results. A solid technique is crucial but instead of repeating various technical exercises which can be a bit tedious, I try to identify these techniques within pieces of music, helping them understand how good technique affects and supports their everyday learning, practicing and performing.

About Me

I am a Welsh harpist and pianist who has recently moved to Croydon and I enjoy teaching both harp and piano to children and adults. I first studied harp, piano, and musicianship with Elinor Bennett, Iwan Llywelyn Jones and Sioned Webb. Born in Mynytho at the heart of the Llŷn Peninsula, I have enjoyed many successes in Welsh Eisteddfodau and festivals. I am lucky to have had a variety of unique experiences, including performing Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro and Paul Patterson’s Spiders Web, being invited to perform with Catrin Finch accompanying choirs on piano and playing keyboard in pit bands. As well as teaching and performing as a soloist, I also enjoy creating music with others and am one-half of harp duo Dwyres alongside my sister.

Education

I am a professionally trained musician with the following qualifications and training:
MMus in Music Performance, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama
BMus(Hons) in Music Performance, Royal Northern College of Music

Experience / Qualifications

I have been giving private harp, piano, theory and aural lessons for the past ten years, taking nearly all my students through the ABRSM syllabus. From January 2018, I spent two years working and teaching. I firmly believe that communication with the parents of my younger students regarding the progress of their children is essential, and ensure that I provide regular feedback on their progress. I taught theory and aural one to one on a weekly basis, giving students an extra boost before their ABRSM exams. I prepared many sixth form students for their grade five theory ensuring that they gained this crucial qualification before entering conservatoire. As part of my continued professional training, I have undertaken a number of activities to enhance my teaching skills. I undertook various PGCE modules and have also participated in workshops and seminars at events all of which have helped me hone my skills as a teacher and ensure my knowledge of effective teaching practices and exam boards is up to date.

Being a music producer means to be able to make immortal all your own emotions.
Fl studio in my opinion is the best digital audio workstation in terms of usability, clarity and versatility.
It is perfect to create any genre you want, pushing you to avoid to use the usual loops and trying to build amazing original and professional traks.
I work in this field for 7 years and I released a lot of tracks with different labels (like the impressed music of New York), in addition I produced a lot of tracks for numerous artists.
So...
Become a professional music producer with me and let's make music!

(I can teach even by video call)

Specially designed music lessons aimed at young learners. My person-centred approach ensures that your child is learning at their own pace and exploring a varied repertoire of musical styles.

My objective is for your child to gain a strong theoretical basis and prepare your child with the foundations they need to continue their personal development and progression in music.

Music helps build courage, determination and discipline, as well as providing a creative and rewarding outlet for your child to express themselves. I aim to transform them into happy and skilled musicians who have the capabilities to pursue music further.

I would love to share with you my passion for improvising and creating new music. Shake off those inhibitions and sign up for a lesson! Discussions about and techniques to help musicians with improvising. Teaching from either violin or keyboard.

A basic or advanced level of instrumental skills is suitable for this class. We will discuss ideas, processes and techniques to assist with improvising.....we’ll explore the use of harmony, rhythmic patterns and how we can train the ear to create patterns in sound.

I am a member of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with years of experience as a Violinist and am passionate about improvisatory music.

I am an award-winning violinist based in SE London, currently completing my Bachelor degree at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

My teaching methodology is based on an individual approach to each student. I always try to combine working on technique and basic theoretical knowledge (to understand the music better) with showing the beauty of music. Every student has different needs, therefore I can help with both preparing for various kind of exams or just learning how to play for fun and pleasure. I am a positive and patient person. My goal is for my students to simply enjoy playing.

I am heavily experienced at both teaching and performing, very familiar with ABRSM and Trinity exam boards and DBS-checked.

I believe lessons should be first and foremost enjoyable, but also serve as a means to break new ground and inspire as much practice as possible at home! So we'll start by establishing an objective of the student's choice that reflects their ambitions, and then work through the appropriate techniques, exercises, and repertoire that allows us to get there in as enjoyable a way as possible!

Lessons will be supplemented with listening/aural exercises, music theory training, and performance/contextual discussions (if necessary!).
