A warm welcome from Claire

Passionate about teaching!  I have taught piano and rudiments of theory of music for in excess of twenty years.  I specialise in private piano tuition and general musicianship tuition for children from the earliest age, and run a popular and fun series of Children’s Music Workshops throughout school holidays, as well as a Saturday Music Club, all from our home in the beautiful village of Aldbourne, near Marlborough, Wiltshire.

My teaching combines practical, aural and written focus in equal measure, which I believe are fundamental to developing well rounded young musicians with a broader understanding of, and appreciation for, music as a whole.  I use the ABRSM exam board for both piano and theory exams.  Parents of each pupil receive a written report of their child’s development twice annually, and I am always on hand to answer any questions or concerns that may arise.  

If you are thinking about piano tuition, home tuition or general musicanship tuition for your child and would like to discuss it, or simply interested in learning more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.  Bursaries are offered in circumstances of extreme financial hardship where the child has potential.

I am an Associate Member of EPTA UK (the European Piano Teachers’ Association).
