Expert guided learning: because every student is different
Piano Lessons
Hi and welcome to my website. If you want to learn to play the piano with fluency and expression you've come to the right place. I work with people who feel overwhelmed by all the information that's out there. Youtube and piano playing apps in their one-size-fits-all approach can overburden anyone who wants to experience the JOY of expressing themselves through music. What I offer is tailored feedback and encouragement for each individual. In my lessons you'll gain REAL CONFIDENCE by learning the right thing at the right time for you. My promise is this: Whatever your background with piano is, we will build a relationship between you and the instrument where practicing becomes ENJOYABLE. Once that happens the sky is the limit.

ABOUT MY LESSONS
​
I've been teaching piano for over 20 years to students of all ages and levels.
I teach jazz, pop and classical piano but my great passion is teaching students the JOY OF LEARNING TO PLAY.
​
In the many years I've spent helping people from all over the world REALLY develop as musicians I've found:
​
-
Too much information can be a bad thing - playing is a SKILL that is learned by DOING.
-
In a world of distractions, GUIDANCE and ACCOUNTABILITY are more important now than ever.
-
To be SUSTAINABLE over the long term the learning process itself must be (and can be) ENJOYABLE.
-
'One-size-fits-all' solutions like apps and Youtube videos may work for some but they tend to disconnect us from our own INNATE ability to learn - my method seeks to RECONNECT people with that ability.
-
EVERYONE is musical. Some just haven't been given the means to express their own 'voice'.
​
​​In my lessons you will:
​
-
Learn HOW TO LEARN in a structured and enjoyable way.
-
Learn WHAT to prioritise so you stay focused and encouraged.
-
Feel what it's like to play FREE from stutters, slips and hesitations.
-
Learn what REAL FLUENCY feels and looks like.
-
Build on your new musical confidence by developing your own 'inner voice'.

"Liam provides an excellent online experience when learning the piano.
He has a wonderful connection with his students and my two sons look forward to their lessons every week with Liam. They are interested, engaged, 100% learning piano and developing a love for music. Would highly recommend Liam as a teacher. His experience and passion for what he does is something every young musician will benefit from." (Google review)

"Liam is an accomplished teacher, breaking down complex aspects of jazz piano to be very accessible. I'm really happy with my lessons - I'm learning the principles of comping, laying chords over the melody and improvising." (Google review)
