About Simon
I studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London as a junior student and from there went on to study at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. I have studied organ, piano, harpsichord, singing, conducting, advanced theory and musicology. I feel confident that I am qualified to pass on some of the knowledge that I have gained during quite a few years of study. I hold performance diplomas in piano, organ and singing. I hold degrees of MA, BMus(Hons) and BA. I still perform regularly both locally and nationally as a singer and as a keyboard player. I still hold the same love for music that I had as a young student and passing that enthusiasm onto students is something that I greatly enjoy.

English
I teach piano, singing, organ and music theory (including GCSE and A Level coaching) to people of all ages and abilities. I have 20 years of experience, branching out into online lessons at the time of Covid. A certain mix of online and in-person learning depends on the level of student and it is something we can discuss. I would hope that my style of teaching is always clear and to the point - very much student focused and what they are wanting to achieve. I try to pass on my knowledge and love of music in a stimulating and easy to understand manner. I also hope that I put great care and effort into making my students enthusiastic about the possibilities of playing music and inspiring them to push their own boundaries further with each lesson. I am thrilled at the results my students have gained - both through ABRSM and Trinity and I have enjoyed working with them towards achieving their goals.

Have had lessons with Simon for several years. He has really built my confidence, as well as teaching me technique, and I have recently achieved my performance ARSM - something i would not have even considered in the past. Instruction is clear, Simon is patient and lessons are enjoyable. Would recommend!
I was recommended Simon when my previous piano teacher was moving abroad and I have to say my playing has improved so much. His knowledge and understanding of music, technique, and experience is in my opinion unequalled. I actually travel 2 hours to lessons, which should provide evidence enough in his quality.
Simon is a great musician and a formidable music teacher. When I was looking for lessons locally, he stood out as being almost the only one with what I would call a proper training in what I was looking for. He is passionate about music and has shared that passion with very many pupils over the years. I studied with him from a Grade 5 standard. With him I received a distinction at my Grade 8 and I am currently studying with him for my Associateship Diploma. Simon is quick witted, funny, challenging and inspiring. He teaches all levels and ages with the same passion - my children are also having lessons with him. I warmly recommend him to anyone who wants their learning of Music to be rewarding as well as a lot of fun!
Simon is a fantastic piano teacher. He makes lessons enjoyable, progress feel achievable, and learning from such a brilliantly talented musician is a real joy. I trust him completely as a tutor and couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

I teach singing, organ, piano, theory as well as coach GCSE and A Level Music.
