I offer beginner-friendly piano and violin lessons in the Stafford area, with a particular focus on welcoming home-educated children.
I'm a pianist and violinist with a degree in Music and Psychology, and my experience goes beyond the classroom. I have led and co-led amateur orchestras on the violin, and worked as a piano accompanist for undergraduate degree recitals - so I bring a real depth of musical experience to every lesson.
I love helping children build confidence as they take their first steps in music, developing good foundations while learning at a pace that suits them. I also welcome children who already play a little and want to continue their musical journey.
Music is about so much more than notes on a page. It builds confidence, patience, and creativity - and as children progress, it opens doors to wonderful social experiences, whether that's joining an ensemble, performing for others, or simply sharing something they love. That's something I feel passionately about, having experienced it first-hand throughout my own musical life.
Lessons are available Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm during term time, either at my home or at your home locally. As a parent myself, I understand how busy family life can be, and I try to make everything as easy and welcoming as possible from the very first contact.
To help you get started, I offer a half-price introductory lesson so your child can get a feel for learning with me before committing to regular sessions.
For your peace of mind, I hold an Enhanced DBS check and Public Liability insurance. My teaching practise is backed by the Independent Society of Musicians (ISM), ensuring verified qualifications and full safeguarding compliance.
Daytime lesson spaces are available from September - bookings are now open!
If you'd like to find out more or arrange an introductory lesson, I'd love to hear from you.
