Teacher

Steven is an experienced and successful teacher of piano to students of all ages (from young children to retired adults) and all abilities (from absolute beginner to diploma level). He also teaches music theory and composition.

He is a long-standing member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians specialist sections for Musicians in Education and Private Teachers. [ISM] He has been teaching piano at Clifton College and Colston's Collegiate School in Bristol for a number of years, as well as maintaining a private practice.

Piano students are encouraged to learn classical repertoire and techniques, but also to explore other musical styles such as jazz. Steven aims for an integrated approach to learning, where the technical, theoretical, aural and expressive aspects of playing will interact with each other in creative and fruitful ways. Entry for examinations is entirely optional, depending on the preferences and circumstances of the individual student. Tuition in music theory can also be tailored to meet individual needs.

A free consultation is available for anyone interested in the possibility of taking lessons in piano or music theory.
