Book a Trial LessonAbout Ellen
Thirty years at the piano — as performer, student, and teacher. A deep belief that musical education is for everyone, at every stage of life.
As a piano teacher, my work is grounded in the classical tradition — careful technique, structured progression, and a genuine respect for the discipline that makes real musicianship possible. I prepare pupils for ABRSM and Trinity examinations, but exams are only part of the picture.
What I truly care about is helping each person — whether they're seven or seventy — develop a lasting, personal relationship with music. From my home studio in London N14, I teach pupils from Enfield, Southgate, Winchmore Hill, Palmers Green and nearby North London. Some pupils learn remotely from further afield, including the US.
Lessons
Programmes shaped around where you are, where you'd like to go, and whether lessons are in person or online.
Developing technique, communication and imagination. Working confidently towards graded examinations, with lessons paced carefully around the child in front of me.
Expanding repertoire and deepening interpretation. The learner will start to appreciate the rewards of serious, dedicated practice. Lessons take place on my beautifully regulated Kemble upright piano at my home studio in London N14, close to Enfield and Southgate.
Whether you're picking up the piano for the first time or rediscovering it after years away, lessons are shaped entirely around you — your pace, your goals, your music. Remote piano tuition is available where it suits the pupil.
All lessons are £40 per hour, pro-rated for shorter sessions.
Teaching philosophy
Four principles that shape every lesson.
Patience over pressure
Real progress comes from consistent, calm practice — never from rushing. I meet each pupil exactly where they are.
Structure gives freedom
A solid technical foundation doesn't constrain creativity — it enables it. Discipline opens doors that enthusiasm alone cannot.
The whole person
Piano teaches focus, resilience, and the deep satisfaction of craft. These gifts last far beyond the instrument itself.
Beauty matters
I choose repertoire with care. Even at the earliest stages, every pupil deserves to play music that is genuinely beautiful.
