Piano Lessons

Playing piano calms the mind.
When you are making music, everything else disappears. No wonder everyone wishes they could do it!

You’ll learn to focus, concentrate and play the music you love. Sound good? Let’s get you started.

An adult piano student who makes fast progress

“With a high-powered, stressful job, I wanted to learn to play the piano as a form of relaxation and enjoyment.
I have established a great professional relationship with Vera and I always look forward to my lessons.
I quickly learned all my scales and chords then moved on to reading music.
I now play popular, well-known pieces. Vera gets me to try all different styles and approaches so I’m constantly learning and finding out what I most enjoy. She is very patient, even putting up with me when I’m grumpy after a difficult day at work.
I don’t do concerts or recordings, I just enjoy my lessons and enjoy playing.
(I did, however, play ”Can’t help falling in love” for my parent’s anniversary)
Vera is a knowledgeable and versatile teacher who taught me all the basics and brought my piano playing to performance standard in just 18 months.” Chris Bird

A package of 4 lessons would be great for them.

They will receive a nice gift voucher and a message from me telling them what to expect on the day. They have 12 months to use the voucher and simply call me to book a time.
