Lessons
Down to the nitty gritty...
A bit about private lessons...
I accept students for formal lessons aged 6 and upwards, all abilities - just a willingness to learn and put in some time at home between lessons. Younger children do benefit from parental help at home, even if it's just a reminder each day to sit down for a few minutes! Learning an instrument isn't quite as straightforward as some other hobbies due to the commitment that's involved, so please consider this before applying for lessons.
Fees: Payable at the start of each lesson, or by BACS Transfer at the start of each month.
Fees 2022 - 2023:
£17.00 per 30 minute lesson
£24.00 per 45 minute lesson
£32.00 per 60 minute lesson
Family discounts are offered depending on the number of learners within the family. Please contact for more information.

A bit about exams...
I'm more than happy to teach just for fun, but experience tells us that MOST people do much better with a goal to aim for. Exams can be a lot of fun, and I have successfully guided many children and adults through annual exams. Since the arrival of Covid, ABSRM and other exam boards are now offering Online Performance Certificates that are a new and unique way to celebrate learning.
They aren't for everyone though, so please don't let this put you off!
