Piano Teacher
Congleton, Cheshire
ISM Membership
I am a full member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, and a Friend of The European Piano Teacher’s Association
Lessons
Exams and Grades
I run the local Trinity College London exam centre in Macclesfield and enter students with them regularly with a 100% pass rate
I am currently helping some of my students through their Music GCSE qualifications
In addition I am also experienced with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music where I gained my own grades
Playing for Fun
It isn’t mandatory to do exams. If any student wants to learn the levels without entering exams then I am very happy to do that
For the younger student, piano lessons are an ideal way to express feelings and emotions and build confidence
References
Reference from Richard Parker, local piano tuner in Congleton
“Having known Beth for a number of years, I find Beth a very competent and professional musician, more than capable of fulfilling the role of teacher and performer”
Student Parent Reference:
“It is testament to Beth’s dedication, enthusiasm and expert teaching that my son has kept his interest and love of music for the past 10 years, taking him right up to grade 8. Beth’s passion for music shines through and has made my son’s musical journey over the past 10 years very positive and enjoyable. I would recommend her as a superb music teacher.”
About me
I am a full member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, and a Friend of The European Piano Teacher’s Association and have played the piano since I was about 6 years of age
I was classically trained as a child and teenager obtaining Grade 7 with the ABRSM
I am currently studying for Grade 8 after a career in the training / coaching sector
I now teach piano full-time while I pursue my own goals and continue my own professional development
I am teaching from absolute beginner up to Grade 8
Playing for fun
I find that piano lessons are a fabulous way to start a new hobby for the older student, to obtain a new skill and gain confidence with the piano
It is never too late to learn (my oldest student is in her 70’s!)
Whether you just want to learn carols for Christmas, nursery rhymes for the kiddies, sing along songs for the clubs, take exams (theory or practical), or whatever your ambition, I will be more than happy to chat to you and come to a plan with you to help you achieve your musical goals
Fees
My fee structure is based on a 40 week lesson year, although students are not tied in to the full 12 months
Students pay the same amount every month. £75 for weekly 45 minute lessons or £100 for weekly hourly lessons
So in effect, if a student turns up for more than 40 lessons a year then they will end up with free lessons!
40 lessons a year equals an hourly rate of £30 an hour pro-rata
