About the Lessons

Grades 1 & 2 Piano

I use Alfreds Premier Piano Course, starting with book 1A in my lessons.
I design each lesson I offer according to my students’ abilities, and make the necessary changes once I become more familiar with their needs.
You will become familiar with notated music, time signatures, dynamic signs, rhythm patterns and proper technique including finger coordination.
I use flashcards and visual tools for young children.
I can help you work towards and take your grade 1 & 2 with the ABRSM examination board.

Grade 1 keyboard is perfect for those with more of an interest in popular music.
Instead of notated music, lessons would focus on understanding chord symbols, chord progressions, and conventional harmony.
The lessons are based around Andrew Scotts Progressive Keyboard Method for Young Beginners books or Complete Keyboard Player by Kenneth Baker, depending on your age.
I can help you work towards and take your grade 1 with the ABRSM examination board.

I structure my music theory lessons in accordance with the ABRSM examination board.
Discovering Music Theory Workbooks and Answer books can be purchased with these lessons. This will allow students to prepare for ABRSM grade exams if they wish to take them.
Each class includes practical and theoretical instruction, along with plenty of time to put your new knowledge into practice.
Students will learn everything from key signatures, time signatures, rhythmic notation to elements of composition such as rhythm and harmony.
I also use flashcards and visual tools for young children.

I offer comprehensive lessons in Ableton Live and Logic Pro, catering to all skill levels from beginners to advanced users.
If you wish to focus on Music Production instead of a specified DAW, lessons are taught in conjunction with Rockschool: Music Production - Coursework Edition books.
Students will gain an understanding of a range of DAWS such as Logic and Ableton.
We will look at Audio Engineering Tools, such as EQ, compression and understanding mixing consoles.
We will also look at what defines a genre, for example, what makes a pop drum beat.
Lessons on Ableton's Push are also available for an extra £5.
We can look at sample papers and work towards your RSL Awards (Rockschool Ltd) music production grade exam.
