What do you love most about your job?
There are many things I love about my job -
Firstly, I have great students!
Some are naturally good at music and that is in itself a joy; others find it more difficult and it is so great when they make progress.
Learning an instrument can be a tricky business but I aim for each stage to be gently taught, so each student understands and enjoys learning.
I like to teach my students to be able to play piano and sing from traditional notation, by ear and from chord charts.
I enjoy when a student makes a great recording.
My students are always asked what music they want to learn, so their lessons are a combination of mine and their suggestions. It can be a piece of classical music, a jazz standard or a pop song and sometimes I learn of a new piece of music through them!
If a piece of music a student has requested is not available in sheet music form, it is my pleasure to arrange the music for them.
I love teaching the special needs students I have on my books.
My teaching studio is a great space with two touch sensitive keyboards, an acoustic piano, PA, microphones, wifi, a wide range of teaching resources.....all that is needed for today's music teacher.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It is natural for instrumental music teachers to start their own business and I started when my children were small and I could work from home and during term times. Now my family are grown up and left home so I also offer lessons during the school holidays.
As this is my own business, I can ensure that a high standard service can be maintained, from my equipment, the surroundings and communication between me and my students.
Why should our clients choose you?
The priority for me as a music teacher is that my students truly enjoy their music lessons and the advancements they make on their musical journey.
If my students want to take music exams, they achieve high marks.
We work hard in my music lessons but it is always fun and respectful.
My clients are offered a free half hour trial lesson so they can make a truly informed decision about choosing me as their piano or singing teacher.
