Piano or keyboard lessons for all ages. Children and adults.

From 34 £ /h

Lessons are tailored to each student depending on their age, level and interests. I teach piano and basic guitar, combining classical training with music theory, composing and pop music, so there’s always a mix rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

For younger students who are learning to read music, I also introduce basic composing. Writing their own simple pieces makes the notes more meaningful and keeps them engaged.

Before booking, please check the schedule to confirm availability and read through the listing details before confirming your first lesson.

About Me

I'm a classically trained pianist with 8 years of teaching experience, working with both children and adults. I studied at the conservatorium and have been based in the Netherlands for 9 years.

I specialise in piano and bassoon and also play classical guitar, alto recorder and soprano recorder. I love teaching across different genres and tailor my approach to each student, combining classical with music theory, composing and pop music. For younger students learning to read music, I find that writing their own simple pieces really helps the notes stick.

I'm patient and calm in my teaching style and have experience working with children with autism and ADHD. Most importantly, I believe lessons should be enjoyable — whatever the method, if the student isn't having fun, something needs to change.

Piano is the instrument used by the romantics to make their most beautiful music, but also by the most experimental and modern composers to create their craziest music wonders. Isn't it a great instrument to play?

With more than 5 years of experience teaching in music schools and 15 years as a private piano teacher, I developed an efficient and "fun-but-efficient" way to teach how to play the instrument. Every student is different, which means the way to play and learn shall be different, making every single lesson special and rewarding.

I also offer the possibility of teaching in groups: if you want to know more about this option.

Hope to see you soon in our class!

Looking for educational, versatile and fun piano lessons? Look no further. My name is Áron and I am a 26-year-old performing artist and educator from Hungary. I have been playing the piano for over 18 years and I have taught students of all ages, from beginners to advanced musicians.

What can you expect from your piano classes with me?

My main goal, apart from teaching the technique, theory and repertoire, is to show students how much joy music can bring to their life and to let them expand their own musical ideas. You will be able to discover the importance of musicality, artistry, the role of music in our life, the attitude of playing, listening, composing and experimenting with new sounds.

STRUCTURE BY LEVEL

Beginner*
I have got my own techniques of teaching kids (lots of colors, shapes, children songs), as well as adult beginners. What’s most important in this stage is to let the student enjoy the sound of the piano, and be satisfied and motivated after a lesson. Together we will work on a certain repertoire that will help you improve your technique and hearing skills, develop your musical knowledge and creativity.

Intermediate*
With students of this level, we will work more on perfecting the harmony, technique, and transcription. You will learn how to improvise a more challenging repertoire that requires the practice of both technique and music analysis.

Advanced*
Depending on your goal, I am going to help you develop a certain part of your piano playing. We are going to dive into details of harmony (jazz harmony), improvisational skills, compositional skills, stage skills and more.

*Classes can be tailored to your needs and particular areas of interest if needed.

I hope you are excited to explore music together! :)
Feel free to reach me at if you have any questions.

Gosse

Do you want to teach (electric) piano, keyboard or synthesizer? Then you have come to the right place!
Gosse (1989) has been giving piano lessons for more than 10 years and we are proud to announce that almost all students who start the lessons actually continue. The lessons are primarily focused on fun and development.
He knows from experience that the most important ingredients for learning to play the piano as effectively as possible are:

1: The pleasure of playing
The fun is increased by learning to play numbers that the student experiences as beautiful or fun and that bring the right degree of challenge. Gosse mainly specializes in Pop, Soul, R&B, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, Bossa-nova, Latin and Light classical styles. Learn to play your favorite songs!

2: Learning in the way that best suits the student
There are three different ways in which someone can learn to play the piano: sheet music, by ear and (the relatively new way) through software programs such as Synthesia. The correct method differs from person to person.

3: Knowing the music theory / shortcuts
The three ways you can learn to play the piano described above help you press the right keys at the right time. But it can be easier. Namely by knowing the underlying music theory and / or the shortcuts!

Gosse also teaches music production (songwriting and producing). He is most specialized in the Logic Pro and Ableton studio programs. He also helps vocalists who want to accompany themselves on the piano.
Feel free to contact us for a trial lesson, for a more detailed version of the above 3 points or if you want to know more!

My name is Zuzanna, I'm a Polish singing teacher, piano teacher, and music therapist. I'm a graduate of the School of Jazz and Popular Music in Wroclaw (piano class) and the Academy of Music in Katowice - Jazz and Popular Music department in the signing class. I'm a graduate of Music Academy in Wroclaw, my major being Music Therapy.
Music is my passion. Usually, I play the piano and sing at the same time.

My main goals in singing lessons are to develop a passion for singing and to learn to use your voice healthily.
The singing classes include:
- Interpretation of the song
- Articulation and intonation exercises
- Breathing exercises
- Technical exercises (voice production)
- Improvisation
- Singing with accompaniment
If you play the instrument and sing we can also focus on how to combine it.

I offer Piano lessons depending on their skills and needs:
- To people of all ages
- For beginners and intermediate users
- Classical music/Jazz music/Pop music - learning chords and playing by ear
- Music theory (solfege, harmony, chord learning, ear training, etc.)

Children's music: The classes are aimed at general music. We can focus more on singing, piano, or music therapy - It depends on your needs.
The classes include musical games and exercises. Children can develop their singing, sense of rhythm, and auditory skills. We can make music together!

If you are interested, please feel free to contact me!

The piano is one of the most universal instruments. As a piano player you can be your own orchestra and play as a soloist, but you can also make beautiful music or accompany ensembles, in any musical style.

In my lessons I want to offer the student a broad foundation on the piano:

learn to read notes, play and interpret existing pieces of music
learn to listen carefully, play it by ear and after a while learn to make your own piano part
playing with chord progressions, gaining insight into harmony and chord theory
learn to improvise and come up with your own pieces
teamwork, because this way you learn to listen even better

My own roots lie in classical music, which provides a good technical basis for the instrument.

Ever since I was a student, I have enjoyed making music the most when you discover various music genres (such as classical, jazz, pop, world music) for yourself. This way you learn to connect these different musical worlds. As a teacher, I want to pass on all these possibilities to the student, so that after playing the piano for a while, he/she can determine his/her own path.
