Testimonials
Thank you for teaching piano to our son. You have been so wonderful, inspiring him to play so beautifully. He had nearly given up… then he met you. Thanks to you he now really enjoys playing and does so with new found sensitivity. I am in no doubt that he will continue to play as the years unfold.
Elizabeth has been teaching my daughter for well over a year now and I can’t believe how well my daughter is coming along. Elizabeth teaches in a very calm, concise way and really makes learning a pleasure. My daughter is quite a shy girl, but Elizabeth’s teaching methods are second to none, and have improved my daughter’s confidence so much. I can’t recommend Elizabeth highly enough, she is just brilliant.
Elizabeth has been teaching me for 2 years now. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting taught piano, I only knew the basics before getting lessons but my parents have seen a huge improvement on my skills. I greatly recommend getting lessons from Elizabeth as she is very patient and methodic with your learning.
Holistic Teaching
A broad range of musical elements and ideas are explored allowing students a deeper understanding and connection to the music they are playing – developing their overall musicality and achieving successful outcomes.
Learning the piano is easy for everyone
Pressing a key instantly produces a clear sound, so someone with no musical experience can play almost immediately – perfect for beginners and all personality types.
The keyboard has a strong visual and intuitive layout which clearly displays the arrangement of notes, making it easier to understand music because it visually represents how music works.
A powerful tool for personal growth and well being
Playing the piano offers significant benefits, extending far beyond developing musical talent – promoting good mental health, nurturing cognitive functioning and intellectual development, improving physical skills, boosting confidence and self-esteem, along with physiological benefits.
