Jamie

Hi, I’m Jamie

I’m a British pianist who recently graduated with a Master’s cum laude at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, studying with prof. Peep Lassmann, a student of the legendary Russian pianist Emil Gilels, and have 7 years conservatoire education in 3 different countries. I was awarded 3rd Prize at the Theodor Stein Piano Competition that same year, and have given recitals in the UK, Spain, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, including a recording featured on Latvian state television channel LTV1.

Since 2007, I’ve worked with private students in the UK, Finland and Estonia. I’m humbled by the unique relationship each student develops to music making, and firmly believe that piano playing can absolutely be accomplished by anyone.

With experience teaching students from a variety of backgrounds, I can offer you an innovative and flexible teaching method that will inspire and inform any budding musician.Whether you or your child are a complete beginner, wish to pursue ABRSM graded exams, hone your existing piano skills, or simply immerse yourself in music, I will guide you through your process and help you discover your inner pianist !

Below are a few reviews from my students.

“Jamie is passionate about teaching all details and explaining even the very small points like the right posture, role of the arm and fingers etc.”

“I started from scratch with Jamie and was progressing right from the first lesson. After a few months working on the basics, I was learning My Way by Frank Sinatra ! I’d recommend him to anybody who’s thinking of starting piano.”
