I What I teach

Three ways in — one whole musician

Classical Piano

Technique, repertoire, and musicianship — from your first notes to ABRSM and Trinity diploma level.

ABRSM Music Theory

Clear, structured preparation for Grade 5 theory and beyond — the gateway to your higher practical grades.

Pop Piano

Chords, feel, and playing the songs you actually love — theory made practical.

For teenagers and adults, at every level — whether you're starting fresh or coming back to the piano.

II Why learn with me

I teach music holistically. Playing, listening, and singing all reinforce each other — so you don't just learn to press the right keys, you learn to hear and understand what you're playing.

We work through both concept and imitation: I explain the idea, then we shape it by ear together. The goal is musicians who can think for themselves, not just pass the next exam.

III Listen

Chopin — Barcarolle

A piece I love for the way it moves between song and storm. Fourteen years of performing and accompanying shape how I teach — everything I ask of my students, I've asked of myself first.

IV Learn with me

Two ways to learn, at your pace

Start here

Self-paced courses on Udemy

My Grade 5 ABRSM Music Theory course is the perfect place to start — especially if theory is the gate standing between you and your higher practical grades. Structured, clear, and completely self-paced: learn anytime, anywhere, and revisit lessons as often as you need. Music theory is the same the world over, which makes it the ideal way to study with me from any country.
