Introduction: Music has been my passion since starting lessons aged 7 and training for years in performance and theory, culminating in a BMUS Honors degree in music from Edinburgh University and a master’s degree from the Royal Academy of Music, London where I trained as both a pianist and a composer. Strong technique and musicality are my main focus when teaching piano, covering music from many genres and periods in history. I offer a fun approach for beginners, from age 5 upwards with guidance and incentives to make practice easier at home. I also offer the opportunity to take virtual graded instrumental exams through the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, which is based in the UK and where I am a registered teacher. Customer satisfaction is my top priority! When teaching children, I take time to listen to parents’ concerns, and involve them in the learning process. I look forward to taking this musical journey with you, and helping you play piano to your heart’s content!

I am someone who had never played an instrument my entire life, but had always been interested in learning the piano. So I finally set out to learn as an adult and the process can be intimidating. First it is not always the easiest to find a teacher who is willing to teach adults. So after looking around for some time I finally found Karen. Things could not have been better. She is a very talented teacher and pianist. She is extraordinarily patient and laid back. She made learning fun and not intimidating. I always looked forward to going to lessons. She also was great about providing a lot of different books/resources to help me when I was struggling with a topic. I also found that I was progressing much faster than I thought that I would which is a testament to her teaching. As an adult learner scheduling can be difficult, but she was always willing to work with me and was flexible with scheduling which added to my positive experience. If you’re looking for a great teacher who is passionate, kind, understanding, and fun then look no further.

Highly recommend Karen! My 6 year old daughter has been taking piano with her for several months now. Karen is so delightful to be around, patient and through. My daughter loves her and is constantly talking about piano throughout the week. She’a helped her gain a new confidence in this world and I am so appreciative of that.
