Online 1-to-1 tuition is currently fully booked but feel free to get in touch if you would like to be added to my waiting list.
Online Beginners and Improvers Courses for adults are open for booking now. These courses usually run in blocks of 5 or 6 weeks and are 1.5hrs per session. We will look at new music in each block so the course will be suitable for people who have signed up before and new starters. We will have a big focus on technique as well as building repertoire.
The online courses will be recorded and sent out to you along with all resources each week so you can still take the course even if you can't make any or all of the sessions online.
