Piano Lessons For children and adults

Children and Teens

Individual lessons from 5 years including playing and theory

Adults

Lessons for beginners or if you have played before.

Online Lessons

Learn from anywhere online with a platform designed for music teaching.
I believe music helps build confidence and skills that transfer to other aspects of our lives keeping the brain stimulated. It also helps us to relax. My goal is to create enjoyable lessons which develop and nurture pianists' skills and musical understanding so they can play music they enjoy.

Teaching Philosophy

Each piano lesson is different and planned individually.

I like to build a broad range of skills, especially for beginners, so students can then play the music they love or are curious about.

Setting individual goals like learning to read music,  planning performance opportunities together is a big part of what I do. It might be a five-year-old working toward their first performance, or an adult finally learning the piece they’ve always wanted to play.

Relaxed & Friendly

One To One

All lessons are individual lessons either in person or online.

“Both my daughters highly rate Karen and her teaching style. Her approach is very refreshing and is always open to teaching different genre's of music even though she has a strong classical background...from BTS and Khalid to Stevie Wonder and Elton John. Her knowledge, patience and skills on the keys always made my daughters come out of their lesson with a smile..”
