“If you’re looking to learn piano look no further! Lucy is an exceptional tutor who is incredibly patient and understanding with her students and will always teach you from where you are at. If you’re like me and either struggle to progress due to a tight schedule or have other commitments Lucy will endeavour to help you with methods to get your practice done. Lucy will be firm and dedicated to make sure that you progress to your goals in a way that will push you to strive along side having fun. As an aspiring music producer both of these aspects have become invaluable not to mention almost instantly applicable. Now we all have to start somewhere and foreknowledge is always welcome but whatever your skill level is you can and will learn from Lucy.”

“I have been taking piano lessons from Lucy for about two months. I passed Grade 8 many years ago and want to return to that standard. I have found Lucy immeasurably helpful in trying to do so. She is supportive, encouraging and thoughtful. She focuses in improving my technique in order to develop a richer emotional involvement in the music. I thoroughly recommend her to anyone, whatever their level.”

“I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano and on meeting Lucy at an event she was performing at, I finally decided to give it a go. Lucy is a gifted musician and a fantastic teacher, her confidence in me at every stage is evident and motivating, as is her love of piano. Learning a new skill can be daunting, but Lucy makes it accessible and enjoyable. I enjoy it every week”

“As a recently retired GP coming ‘late to the party’ of piano playing, Lucy has had to use all her imagination and creativity to help keep me on track- lessons have included studying fMRIs(brain scans) of people learning music to hanging handbags from arms to get me to relax!- all with the goal of establishing the building blocks of a solid technique which will enable future successful progress. Lucy is always attentive and encouraging. Lucy has also expanded my knowledge of music theory which has also helped to enrich my other musical activities:choral singing, guitar and electronic musical composition.I heartily recommend Lucy as a piano teacher.”

“Lucy bravely took me on as a 65 year old beginner. I was taught piano in my teens but didn’t get very far. Her teaching method and personal insights have helped me make good progress, Thanks, Lucy!”

“I decided to learn how to play the piano for my 40th birthday and, being a musician already as a guitar player, I wanted to make sure that I learned the technical side of playing while also learning how to read music. Lucy uses the Suzuki method of teaching, which focuses a lot on listening and using your ear to learn while also taking you through carefully chosen pieces that enable you to develop and progress while learning new techniques along the way.

Lucy has a deep understanding of how your brain and body behaves when playing piano and she has this amazing ability to immediately spot the root of what is causing a challenge or stumbling block and clearly explain how to overcome it. There were so many ‘A-ha’ moments where Lucy helped me realise what was going on to continue to develop quickly and get over any hurdles (mostly me playing too quickly!). Lucy is also very flexible on helping to learn pieces that you’re passionate about. I decided to learn a piece that was definitely way above my skill level but I progressed well while also learning from the Suzuki book to help improve my overall technical ability.

Learning any new skill as an adult can be a challenge but Lucy is always very encouraging, reassuring and patient - not to mention an absolutely incredible piano player to boot! She’s also really good fun and I always look forward to our lessons. In short, she’s an absolutely brilliant teacher and I went from knowing nothing to being able to play pieces I would never have imagined I could play.”

“I’m a dance teacher and performer so I started taking piano lessons with Lucy to enjoy a different art form, something for me to sit down and enjoy. I respect the way she teaches, focusing on technique, correcting bad habits like; bad posture hand positioning, by showing the correct angle to approach the keys for minimum movement, and not collapsing the hand onto the keys. It’s the technique that takes you through your art, and if it’s continually corrected it makes for good playing and makes it easier to progress. I also enjoy music theory which Lucy teaches alongside the playing. I would highly recommend her. ”

“I would highly recommend Lucy as a piano teacher and find her to be knowledgable, enthusiastic and reliable. As an adult beginner, Lucy has helped me to understand that learning the piano requires patience and practise. She provides written notes from each lesson which are invaluable and I feel inspired to keep going when finding playing challenging.”

“I really enjoy going to piano lessons with Lucy”

“Lucy is a really great piano teacher because she is friendly and I have learnt a lot. I passed my Grade 1 with a Merit and my Grade 2 with Distinction. I really do recommend Lucy ”

“I like the games because they are very fun and they make me smile. She is the best piano teacher in the world because she is so talented.”

“I like sitting at the piano and playing it. Lucy is great”

“A very dedicated and talented tutor - Lucy has inspired my daughter to strive to learn the piano.”

“My son, aged 11 who is currently studying for his grade 5 piano exam recently started lessons with Lucy because we were dissatisfied his slow progress with his previous teacher from school. The difference is night and day. Lucy incorporates music theory and technique into the fabric of her teaching and makes her classes simultaneously challenging yet enjoyable. Neo is in the process of breaking bad habits and learning new ones and is already experiencing the benefits. Lucy is a kind, patient, approachable and talented teacher and covers all aspects of the art of piano playing, inspiring a student to become the best pianist they can be. It is apparent that she is devoted to her natural passion to teach and Neo has responded accordingly in such positive ways.
I only wish we’d found Lucy sooner, but glad that Neo’s in safe hands now. In a short space of time Neo already has the tools to play his pieces accurately whilst expressing feeling and emotion in the music. I have no doubt he’ll smash his forthcoming grade 5 exams.”

“Lucy reaches out and communicates with children in a way not everyone can. She can rekindle that passion to learn piano on a low day and jazz up a lesson with a new piece of music of play something herself to inspire. There is no pressure on taking grades and she talked through the pros and cons with Georgia. Georgia decided to start her ABRSM exams and achieving a certificate has given her a real boost of confidence. I have no hesitation in recommending Lucy as I have done with many friends.”

“Lucy exposes her students to classical music and concerts to get them interested. I also like her teaching methods. We are very lucky she’s our daughters piano teacher. ”

“Lucy always takes time to listen to our girls, taking an interest in them, yet still maintains their focus during lessons. We feel that Lucy is an excellent piano teacher who has never let us down and the girls look forward to their lessons every week. ”
