MusicSpark Windsor - Piano Tuition

About

FREE taster lesson! Want to learn the piano? Fancy playing classical, pop or jazz? Need to brush up your skills on theory? I can help.

Hi, I'm Patrick Tackney, a Piano Tutor with MusicSpark. I provide lessons in your own home around the Windsor and local area, online, or a combination to of both to allow maximum flexibility to busy schedules.

I started piano lessons from an early age and enjoyed the challenge of learning a new skill which balanced out my sporting activities. As a goal-oriented person, I went through the formal graded route from grades 1 to 8 and went on to achieve a distinction at grade 8.

Outside of piano teaching, my background is in sports coaching and as a qualified Rowing Coach and I have worked at various rowing clubs and schools in the Berkshire area coaching adults and juniors of all levels from complete beginners up to National Champions and crews racing at Henley Royal Regatta.

As a coach and tutor I believe that learning a new skill should be an enjoyable process and that is important to learn the basics well and have a good starting foundation to build upon. My aim as a Piano Tutor is to help students set out and achieve their piano performance goals, whether it is through the graded route, or whether it is to learn a new skill with the correct technique and fundamentals to be able to progress, develop and enjoy playing this instrument.

All lessons take place in the usual 30 or 60 minute lesson format, but I keep my teaching methods modern and engaging, so I provide an online portal to keep track of lesson notes, a live calendar, interactive learning tools and access to an online bank of repertoire
