I come from a family where teaching is a long tradition. For the past 15 years I have taught piano, privately and at music institutions in the UK. My experience on the stage, as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral pianist, informs my teaching and, I consider, has enabled it to be both effective and inspiring for my students.

In recent years I have also been recording music and composing for film as well. 

Notwithstanding my performance schedule, I treat teaching with at least equal importance and it constitutes a central part of my musical career. Many of my private students have been taught by me from the beginning and a number are now at conservatoire level. Some of my students have been very successful at competitions, and others have been offered places at music institutions thanks to successfully prepared auditions. I work with students at every level, also providing music theory tuition to complete beginners through to more advanced musicians. 

My youngest student was 5 years old and the oldest (currently) 70. My teaching priorities have always been focused on providing students with an individual approach, feedback and solutions, with a view to developing their technical, musical and artistic skills. I always try to treat every student individually and to adjust to her/his needs. My lessons are conducted in a friendly atmosphere, where I seek to share my enthusiasm and to demonstrate how, through challenging but exciting work, great results can be achieved. Having been exposed to various piano schools, I have learned different approaches to teaching and music making in general, which, I feel, has had a beneficial impact on my own teaching style.
