The Piano is a beautiful instrument with a fascinating history and vast and challenging solo repertoire.

In Classical music as in Jazz the piano is the unrivaled in it’s ability to weave intricate harmomies and melodies together seamlessly.

In popular music the piano rivals the guitar with it’s ability to create exciting accompaniments.

In addition the piano plays a special role in western music as the “master-key” to understanding music theory. No matter what other instrument you play, a good grasp of the piano can immensely aid your understanding of harmony and composition.

 

Piano Lessons in Haringey North London: Beginners

I teach a lot of adult beginners! It is never too late to start. You just need the determination to succeed. My piano lessons will guide you through the early stages of your playing.

You will learn the correct posture and techniques, and how to read music from scratch. I have an excellent method of teaching beginners to read, there is nothing to be afraid of!

We will quickly move on to scales, arpeggios and some simple pieces, before starting to learn the repertoire. There are many directions which we will go in after this, and we will discuss these options as the become available to you. We will cover more advanced techniques and music theory as they become relevant to the music that we are playing.

Testimonial

“Nat has been teaching my ten year old son piano for well over a year. The lessons are fun and planned with Arthur’s musical interests in mind, but Nat makes sure that technical progress is made too. While he is a thoughtful, dedicated and patient teacher, Nat has the feel of a musician first which I think kids respond well to – especially after a long day at school! I’m very happy to recommend him.“
