Violin
Piano and Keyboard
During lessons, we focus on the core skills that any good piano player requires, this includes scales and sight-reading but we also prioritise musicianship, music theory and promote working towards a goal. This goal may be ABRSM music grades or Guildhall Trinity exams for keyboard but can also be as modest as playing a recognisable pop song for friends or family. Our lessons are individually tailored to the pupils needs and we will progress at a speed that suit you.

Banaz Haddad - Parent of pupil taught by Paul Murray
Glasgow, Scotland“Parent of the pupil "I'm very fortunate that my children have the opportunity to take piano lessons with Paul. In short, Paul is a passionate, inspiring, and very talented teacher and his love and dedication for Music is apparent in his teaching. I would highly recommend Paul to everyone and I regret that I did not find him sooner. Paul is an excellent teacher with highly professional skills. He is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality. It is clear he works well with children and makes the lessons very enjoyable for them, whilst praising their accomplishments the children feel inspired and motivated after every lesson. The thing I like about Paul is his ability to make my children feel at ease and the way he never makes them sad or anxious about making mistakes, but, in a gentle and encouraging way, he is able to get the most out of them. I'm really amazed how far my kids have come in six months with Paul, they already have achieved more than I ever expected.”
