Whether working in the medium of music or movement - or both! - I aim to help you develop a practice that is uniquely yours; one that will flourish and nurture you as you journey through life. I hope to inspire an energetic and ongoing commitment to these wonderful subjects, that offer so many avenues for intellectual and holistic growth. I consider it a pleasure and a joy to lead and walk with you on this path of learning. I can't wait to learn from you too!

Below is a brief summary of approaches we'll use in your lessons and expected outcomes. Please use the contact form to discuss your individual needs and for more details of how I can help.

PIANO

I welcome all new-comers to piano lessons, both young and old, as well as seasoned musicians. From the get-go we will work on learning small pieces that help you to develop a strong and easeful technique, that also sneak understanding of musical concepts through the back door! We'll gradually introduce recognition of these elements on the written score, prioritising full integration of the music into the body via singing, walking, clapping, conducting and even dancing!

  • work at your own pace, learning music you love

  • play duets (there's nothing like playing with others to improve musicianship, and for fun!)

  • use appropriate study books, exercises, repertoire and technique drills to further your level

  • express yourself through music

  • prepare for exams if you wish, or try performing in small home concerts


Let me hold time and space for you, so you can enjoy the comfort of a sensitive and mindfully supported yoga practice. Using methods from Hatha, Vinyasa and Restorative yoga, along with gentle breath work, we'll build a practice that generates vitality and resilience. During larger classes my primary goal is to create a mutually supportive atmosphere, where everyone is empowered to create and adapt their practice to suit them.

  • find a stronger connection to breath and body

  • move more intuitively and develop a practice that is as flexible as your changing needs day-to-day, season-to-season

  • address issues of pain or tiredeness, and/or work towards a fuller expression of certain yoga postures (asanas) 

  • enjoy improved proprioception, balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, intuition and self-awareness

  • enter into states of rest and stillness more easily

  • move for joy!
