Description:

My love for music began with my first lessons at the age of seven. Years of training in performance and theory led me to earn my BMUS Honors degree in music from Edinburgh University and a master’s degree from the Royal Academy of Music in London. As both a pianist and composer, I bring a strong focus on technique and musicality to my piano teaching. I cover music from various genres and historical periods and make sure to offer a fun approach for beginners to help them stay motivated. I also offer virtual graded instrumental exams through the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, and customer satisfaction is my top priority. With children, I take the time to listen to parents' concerns and involve them in the learning process. Let's embark on this musical journey together, and I'll help you play piano to your heart's content!

Ms. Karen is adored by my six-year-old daughter, who desires to have two lessons per week with her. Ms. Karen is very adaptable with schedules and her teaching style is both gentle and efficient, which I appreciate greatly. 😊

Having never played an instrument in my life, learning the piano had always intrigued me. As an adult, the prospect of delving into this new world was intimidating. It was challenging to find a tutor keen on teaching adults, but after some searching, I discovered Karen. She exceeded my expectations as a teacher and pianist, reflecting remarkable talent and incredible patience. Her instruction was both enjoyable and approachable, making the learning experience non-intimidating. I eagerly anticipated each lesson, buoyed by her enthusiasm and many helpful resources to overcome any difficulties in learning. I was surprised to find myself advancing at a fast pace, a testament to her teaching proficiency. Juggling schedules as an adult learner can be tricky, but Karen was always adaptable and willing to accommodate. For anyone seeking a wonderful teacher who embodies passion, kindness, understanding, and excellence, look no further.

Karen's ability to keep our sons engaged in playing piano has been exceptional. Her encouragement and talent are evident in their impressive performances. Additionally, she motivates the children by rewarding them with stickers after each practice and selecting music books that they enjoy. We wholeheartedly endorse Karen's services!

I strongly suggest Karen! For a number of months, my six-year-old daughter has been learning piano with her. Karen is a cheerful, patient, and thorough person to be with. My daughter adores her and talks about piano the entire week. She has helped my daughter gain newfound confidence in this domain, and I am extremely grateful for that.
