About Me

About Me

I started playing the piano at around 6 years old and the guitar shortly after. I graduated with a First Class honours degree in Music from the University of Birmingham before gaining a Masters and DPhil (PhD) from the University of Oxford in 2016. I am now a classroom Music teacher at an independent school in Oxfordshire and teach piano and guitar on weekday evenings and on Saturdays. I have had a wide-range of students, both young and adult, from beginners up to grade 8. I am happy to follow an exam syllabus but I'm also equally happy to teach according to each student's interests.

I teach from my home in Hailey, just north of Witney, on a Bechstein grand piano in a dedicated teaching space. I can also offer lessons on Zoom for those further afield.

I can offer the following:



My current fee is £50.00 per hour.
