Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own instrument?

For piano, access to a keyboard or piano at home is important for practice. For French Horn, I can advise on affordable hire options for beginners before you commit to buying.

Do you teach adults and complete beginners?

Absolutely. I welcome students of every age and stage — from children starting out to adults returning to music after many years.

Are online lessons as effective as in person?

Yes. Online lessons work brilliantly with the right setup, and I’ll help you get your device and sound positioned well before your first session.

Which exam boards do you prepare students for?

ABRSM and Trinity for instrumental grades, and AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas and OCR for GCSE and A-Level Music.
