“Developing, Nurturing and Mentoring Pianists”

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

Supporting lifelong learning and fostering the joy of playing the piano for children and adults.

  • Inclusive Curriculum: Tailoring lessons to meet the unique needs and interests of each student. This ensures everyone enjoys their learning journey.

  • Community Engagement: Hosting regular recitals, and events that bring students together and connect them with the wider community.

  • Flexible Learning Paths: Offering diverse learning options, from casual playing for enjoyment to more structured paths for those aiming for specific goals or qualifications through exams.

  • Supportive Environment: A welcoming and encouraging atmosphere where students feel safe to express themselves and grow at their own pace.

  • Continual Professional Development: Staying updated with the latest teaching techniques and resources to provide the best possible education for my students.

“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..”
