To meet the wide range of student needs, tuition can be on a regular weekly or fortnightly basis, or more occasional consultation lessons.

Teaching Style and Content

Andrew focuses on the positive development of each individual student at his or her own pace, enabling all to become confident independent learners, whatever their particular musical interests.

Andrew’s students benefit from:

• Expert, personalised tuition from one of the UK’s most widely respected teachers

• Exceptional ABRSM Examination results: 100% pass rate and more than 60% gaining Distinction.
• A professional learning environment close to the centre of Milton Keynes (read about Andrew’s superb teaching studio here)
• A comfortable waiting room for the family, and plenty of parking
• Unhurried, 45 minute lessons (with a 15 minute gap timetabled between each)

Andrew’s students learn:

• How to play the piano musically and with a relaxed technique, avoiding injury and developing beautiful tone control and balance
• How to practice effectively, making fast and secure progress

Learn to PLAY!

And unlike many private music teachers Andrew is fully DBS checked (his current certificate is on permanent display in the studio), has comprehensive public indemnity insurance, and is a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians.
