Why Amanda is different
A serious musician who teaches the person, not just the piece.
Lots of local music lessons promise convenience. Amanda offers something more personal: strong musicianship, patient teaching, classroom-trained care and a first conversation with the actual teacher before you commit.
Children and adult beginners often arrive worried about mistakes. Amanda keeps the pace clear and encouraging, so learners can feel safe enough to try, practise and improve.
As a former Uppingham music scholar with ensemble, performance and Pro Corda experience, Amanda understands how music builds listening, discipline, patience, confidence and self-belief.
QTS and PGCE training mean lessons are planned around the learner in front of her: age, confidence, concentration, home practice and what will make progress feel possible.
Choose the right lesson
More personal than a busy music school.
Amanda talks through the learner's age, confidence, instrument, goals and realistic practice time. The lesson then fits the person, not a fixed academy timetable.
Piano lessons
For young learners, adult beginners and returners who want steady progress, good technique and lessons that feel calm rather than pressured.
