I offer professional piano lessons tailored to students of all ages and levels, specialising in classical piano, jazz piano, and music theory (Grades 1–8). With international teaching and performance experience across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, my lessons are designed to develop both technical excellence and musical creativity.

Students are guided through structured learning pathways aligned with ABRSM and Trinity syllabi, ensuring a strong foundation for graded examinations while also encouraging personal expression and confidence at the instrument.

Lessons cover:

• Classical piano technique and repertoire
• Jazz piano, improvisation, and chord voicings
• Music theory (ABRSM/Trinity Grade 1–8)
• Scales, arpeggios, and technical development
• Sight-reading and aural skills
• Song learning and performance preparation

My teaching approach combines discipline and creativity, helping students not only learn how to play, but understand music deeply. Whether preparing for exams or learning for enjoyment, each lesson is adapted to the individual student’s goals and pace.

I offer in-person lessons and online sessions, creating a flexible and supportive learning environment.
