About Me

I am lucky enough to have been playing music since I was 3 years old and having the opportunity to follow this passion and meet so many inspiring people along the way. Not only have they shown me beautiful music, but the importance of the courage of conviction in your creative and musical abilities. I will help you find this through our lessons together.

I ran my school, teaching girls singing technique, and improving their confidence with performing. With my years of training, I can teach Classical technique, Soul, Funk, Pop, and Jazz. Together we will learn the intricacies of technique, but also how to tell a story through music and perform confidently through self-expression.

We can also work on songwriting in any style you like and help you find your voice through developing a compositional toolkit, confidence in your own ideas, and the ability to tell your own narrative through song.

In terms of my own career as a singer-songwriter, I have toured across the UK, had two of my singles chosen as BBC favorite find of the week, and was interviewed and performed on BBC Radio Cornwall and BBC Radio London and was featured on Melatrois, Surf Radio, and Source FM. I am a featured artist for BBC's 'Stay At Home Sessions' with my own music and a spotlit interview. I partnered with WarChild to raise money for the coronavirus fund for people in vulnerable warzones, featured on a charity album, 'One and All' to raise money for the Cornwall Community Foundation coronavirus relief fund. I have performed in venues ranging from the Royal Albert Hall aged 11 with a Classical Music performance to summer festivals with my own compositions.

Education

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Popular Music from Falmouth University, which included 3 years of studying songwriting, performance, musicology (the philosophy, history, psychology, and sociology of music) which was a fundamental part of writing my dissertation and industry training (legal, promotional, marketing, production, etc...)

2 years of Voice at Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama, which gives students the equivalent to ABRSM Grade 8 standard by the time of leaving.

Experience / Qualifications

I have had 11 years of vocal training in different genres, compositional training for over four years and have taught performance technique to the school Glee Club, organized lessons for the school Music Club which I founded and ran, taught and played music for 'Singing For the Brain,' a charity for people struggling with dementia where they sing once a week to find joy and forget about the rest.

I teach students of every level, I work privately, in person and online. I teach all ages, from children to adults, from level “zero” to students who want to prepare for exams in Conservatories, but also amateurs or people who just want to try some piano lessons.

My teaching method is changing with time. The more I teach, the more I learn from my students. I see teaching as a dynamic experience, and I welcome the students to give feedbacks and set their own goals, in order to give them my best advices and guidance. I am usually focusing on generating independence in the approach to music, with slow but steady learning of music reading, understanding of rhythm and all the fundamentals needed by every one, adapting of course to the students' goals.
If you want to contact me, I will be happy to answer all the questions. I usually answer in short time.

(Do not consider the booking timetable you see on my page. I prefer to write the student and find a day that works for both of us.)

ITA

Insegno a studenti di ogni livello, privatamente, sia di persona che online. Insegno a persone di tutte le età, dai bambini agli adulti, da principianti assoluti a chi si prepara per gli esami di Conservatorio, ma anche ad amatori o a chi desidera semplicemente provare qualche lezione di pianoforte.

Il mio metodo di insegnamento si evolve nel tempo. Più insegno, più imparo dai miei studenti. Considero l'insegnamento un'esperienza dinamica e incoraggio gli studenti a fornire feedback e a definire i propri obiettivi, in modo da poter offrire loro i migliori consigli e la migliore guida. Mi concentro principalmente sullo sviluppo dell'autonomia nell'approccio alla musica, con un apprendimento graduale ma costante della lettura musicale, della comprensione del ritmo e di tutti i fondamenti necessari a ciascuno, adattandomi ovviamente agli obiettivi dello studente.

Se desiderate contattarmi, sarò lieto di rispondere a tutte le vostre domande. Di solito rispondo in breve tempo.

(Non fate riferimento al calendario delle prenotazioni che trovate sulla mia pagina. Preferisco contattare direttamente lo studente e concordare un giorno che vada bene per entrambi.)

Looking for a passionate and professional piano teacher for your child or for yourself? My lessons are designed to bring out the joy of music and enhance creativity, while also gradually improving technique based on age and individual abilities.
As a dedicated and experienced professional teacher with a university degree, I take teaching seriously and am committed to providing effective lessons tailored to each student.
I offer different approaches to suit the individual needs and goals of every student. Playing an instrument should be a delightful experience and that's exactly what my lessons are all about!

PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN
Are you a parent eager to introduce your little one to the wonderful world of music? My lessons are designed to be playful and engaging. Using specially adapted piano books, including a method tailored for children as young as 4 years old, I'll guide your child through an exciting musical adventure, complete with stories, games and new songs to learn. We'll explore music through singing, movement, and rhythm, helping your child develop a deep and lasting love for music.

SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN
The lessons are more than just learning songs. Children will explore a piano book filled with stories, characters, engaging music, and games. Depending on preferences we can dive into playing music with accompaniment recordings, which allows children to immerse themselves in a complete musical experience. Theory learning is included.

TEENAGERS
Are you looking for a piano teacher who will encourage and support your teenager's passion for music? Thanks to a hybrid method book for older beginners that contains pedagogically and age appropriate piano pieces, technical exercises, and supplementary activities, students are able to play hands together from the very first day, unlikely to traditional methods. In case of a former experience in playing the piano, I build on their existing knowledge and continue to expand their skills and creativity. I am also open to student's suggestions, I believe that playing a piece they enjoy is effective in keeping them motivated.

ADULTS
It's never too late to pick up a new skill. As an adult, you have unique advantages over children when it comes to learning music. You have greater focus, a better grasp of music theory, and a strong motivation to succeed.
We'll follow a hybrid method book for older beginners that contains pedagogically appropriate piano pieces, technical exercises, and supplementary activities, and allows you, unlikely to traditional methods, to play hands together from the very first day.
Do you have a favorite song that you've always wanted to play but thought it was too difficult? There are plenty of classical and popular melodies that have been arranged for beginners, so you can start playing them right after grasping the basics of piano playing.
