Master Piano, Composition & Music Theory with Personalized Lessons from an Expert Teacher

Hi! I'm Paul, composer, pianist and music teacher with over 12 years of teaching experience, working with students from complete beginners to the most advanced levels in piano, composition and music theory. I take an individualistic approach to teaching, focusing on nurturing each student's unique musical voice and fostering a lifelong love for music. As a composer and pianist, I bring a deep artistic insight and passion to my lessons. Currently, I teach students from 15 different countries, and I am committed to inspiring a diverse community of musicians while guiding them toward musical excellence through personalised instruction and mentorship.

My individualistic approach to piano teaching emphasizes tailoring instruction to each student’s unique needs, learning style, and physicality. A core focus is on proper hand posture, ensuring relaxed, curved fingers and a stable wrist to promote fluid motion and prevent injury. Developing correct motions for every technique, be it scales, arpeggios, or complex passages is central. Modern principles like arm weight, forearm rotation, and free fall play a pivotal role in achieving a natural and efficient technique. Arm weight helps create a rich tone without unnecessary effort, rotation supports ease in lateral movements, and free fall fosters gravity-assisted playing for effortless sound production. The concept of tension and relaxation is critical, teaching students to identify unnecessary strain and release it to maintain fluency and endurance. Complex ideas are broken into smaller, manageable steps, ensuring even advanced techniques are easy to understand. This holistic method builds a solid foundation and encourages artistry.
