piano:
Young or Old there is so much to be gained from learning to play the piano. Apart from the sheer enjoyment of the music, there is mastery of a new skill and achievement in passing exams or just learning for pleasure. I have coached pupils through ABRSM exams in both classical and jazz grades and theory of music I also work with pupils in learning contemporary styles of music and playing by ear.
I was classically trained through the London College of Music and also played in Worship from the age of 10. I currently play modern worship in church. My husband and I play as a Jazz Duo 'Around Midnight' and I play with local bands 'Older But No Wiser' and 'A Hard Place and The Rocks'.
