Animesh

I`m a piano tutor with a passion for inspiring a love of music in my students.

I genuinely believe anyone can learn to play an instrument, and it`s a gift that they`ll get to keep and enjoy throughout their lives. Music is a powerful tool helping to build confidence, coordination and emotional maturity and I`d love to help you experience that!

I teach from home because I have a purpose built studio with a beautiful Yamaha upright piano (YUS1 Disklavier). The piano itself acts as a teaching aid because it has built in electronics that will enable me to play back to the student what they`ve just played - often students are amazed to see the keys and pedals moving themselves, but they soon get used to it! My studio is also a fully fledged recording facility so I have the ability to record audio for lessons as well as video.

Availability: I`m currently accepting students for lessons on a Saturday.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I`ve been teaching piano for the past 5 years working with students through the ABRSM syllabus. I`ve taken students from complete beginner up to grade 8, and build in music theory and aural training as part of the lessons.

I come from a performance background being trained in classical piano with ABRSM and then RCM, and ultimately made the decision to move away from a career path as a concert pianist into the mainstream music industry working as a session musician for many years. As a session player I`ve worked with various artists, my most notable major label work was with singer-songwriter Mika.

My classical training has enabled me to also work as a composer for film/TV so I`ve been fortunate to have many pieces performed on major TV networks around the world. This has led to more recording and music production work from Opera and classical piano to rock and Indie music.

Students working with me will benefit from a very rounded performance background, which means I build them up to be musicians rather than simply being technically proficient at something. This is coupled with a very inspiring environment to learn in.
