Piano lessons with Anna
I teach piano from beginner to grade 8 standard, from age 3 upwards, including adults. My teaching is rooted in classical technique and repertoire, but I like to include a wide range of genres in my lessons, including jazz and pop, particularly as students develop their own tastes in piano music.
Each student has their own reasons for coming to piano lessons, from those interested in advancing through the exam grades, to those who just want to have the most enjoyable experience they can with playing the piano. Some prefer to work on classical repertoire or come with a particular ‘goal piece’ in mind, whilst others are interested in accompanying or music theory. I pride myself in listening to students wants and needs and creating each a bespoke curriculum that caters to them. The most important thing is that each student enjoys their playing and lessons whilst achieving their goals.
As well as time spent at the piano, lessons include a range of games and activities, especially with younger students. These are always linked to key areas of what is being learnt and help to reinforce important concepts, as well as breaking up the lesson and keeping students engaged.
