I’m a Professional Jazz Musican and Student Counsellor/Therapist Currently my youngest student is 7 and my oldest is 75!

My lessons would be somewhat a little different than most standard piano lessons as i aim to show the student a number possibilities the piano has to offer and to help the student discover the MANY angles / Approaches in which to play, to play in general and to play jazz, myself personally I play more intuitively. As a professional jazz improvisation is what I do for a living. I studied classical originally for years and did all my grades 1-8 however this to me did not forfill my full potential and my full passion for the instrument, and felt that there was something lacking in that side of the music, & there was only so far one would be able to go with classical, and in that slightly more generic means of piano tuition. So I like to focus on more of an intuitive more expressive side to the instrument learning by ear, chordal approach, learning to read chord charts jazz/pop/rock musicians would use, touching on improvisational techniques and methods so that my student CAN in his/her own time continue to explore the piano, & in a way carry on composing, listening, transcribing and in turn, always continue to learn! Instead of just learning IN the lessons.
