Hello I'm Chris! I am a Grade 8 ABRSM qualified pianist with a deep passion for music and I had my first piano lesson when I was 11 years old. My areas of interest have expanded over time to encompass a wide range of keyboard instruments such as the piano, clavichord, harpsichord, and Hammond Organ.

What do you love most about your job?
I find it highly rewarding to be able to share musical knowledge and experience gained over nearly 40 years in the field, and to see clear progression in my students, whether complete beginners or more experienced students.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been performing music privately and publicly, on piano, harpsichord, clavichord and Hammond Organ for many years. I find it exciting to share some of the extensive knowledge I have gained in this time.
Why should our clients choose you?
I offer a relaxed, down to earth style of teaching, with one to one tuition tailored around the individual needs of every student. Since studying Music in my degree, it has played a central role in my life continuously, and I have gained a huge wealth of experience in this time. Currently I teach regularly at an academy school in Slough, as well as covering lessons elsewhere, particularly a primary school in Harrow. I am a Grade 8 qualified pianist, and have been certified with the highest level of background check - the DBS Enhanced Certificate.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

Piano tuition
I teach both adults and children, from beginner to intermediate level. I can prepare students for their ABRSM or Trinity Piano practical grade exams, from grades 1 to 5.
I aim to make lessons a pleasurable experience, developing all-round technique and aptitude, and focusing particularly on areas that need work. I am happy to teach new pieces and exercises to suit the individual student, or to work on developing existing pieces.
I currently have vacancies available for new students.
