I started piano lessons at the age of 8 in my home town of Manchester. Even at that age I found the experience fun and rewarding and progressed through the ABRSM grades. By 14 I had passed Grade 5 in both practical piano and music theory.

My piano tutor then moved from the area and I had a decision to make - to continue with another private tutor or pursue other teenage activities. I chose the latter but knew this story wasn't over.

I spent the next 10 years studying for my degree and travelling the world and then made the move to London. It was while I was working in the events and live music scene that I decided to pursue my ultimate goal of teaching the piano and performing for a living. So, with the help of an inspirational piano teacher, I embarked upon and completed the advanced ABRSM grades, taught family and friends alongside my events jobs, and achieved what I set out to do.
