am an award-winning professional musician, pianist and tutor with over fifteen years international experience across different educational settings, backgrounds and abilities. I hold a Ph.D. in Musicology, two Master's degrees as well as diplomas in Piano, Classical Harmony, Counterpoint and Fugue, which enable me to easily work on the theoretical, technical, performative, stylistic and structural elements of music scores and help my students understand the background of each piece, whilst being creative and achieving essential progress. With an in depth knowledge of musicianship, I am involved in national and international assessment boards, I am a registered Teacher-Assessor for the ABRSM Music Medals and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I am happy to support any learners, who prepare for GCSE/A level practical and/or theory exams, as well as ABRSM and Trinity College graded exams and Diplomas.
