With a highly qualified and experienced teacher in Bordon, Hampshire

"I can recommend Janet particularly to adult students who are lacking confidence. I am aged 66, suffer anxious moments about fumbly fingers, memory malfunctions and general slowing up! Janet has shown infinite patience helping me gain confidence. Janet has a range of teaching techniques finely specialised to fix difficulties. Her interest in teaching and learning processes are a wonderful attribute and she works hard to ensure I learn to play correctly. I am a teacher myself albeit not of music and Janet is a fine example of the teaching profession."

"Our daughter has excelled under the patient and highly skilled teaching from Janet. This is undoubtedly going to be a part of our daughter's life which reaps many rewards. Highly recommended."

"I returned to piano lessons after a 50 year break! I was quite nervous at first, but Janet put me at ease straight away. She is a wonderful teacher, patient and encouraging, and I am delighted with the progress I have made. I love her approach to teaching and am so fortunate to be one of her pupils."

"Janet has been teaching me since I was 7. I am now 17. She always goes out of her way to make sure I am making good progress, sends useful videos outside of lessons and concludes every lesson in a text message so I clearly know what to practice that week. She is always patient in lessons, and caring in and outside of lessons. She has not only taught me piano, but also made me understand music theory from a young age which fuelled my love of music. If it wasn’t for janet, I wouldn’t have found what I love to do!"

"I am incredibly grateful to my piano teacher, Janet, for her exceptional support in helping me learn the piano as an adult with dyslexia. Janet makes each lesson enjoyable and is remarkably patient, which has been crucial in my progress. Under her guidance, I have quickly advanced from being unable to decipher music to having a much clearer understanding. Her encouragement and teaching methods have been instrumental in my development, although it is clear that achieving my goals requires a lot of dedicated practice. Thank you, Janet, for making this journey both fun and rewarding."

Why Play The Piano?

"Having learned piano as a child, 35ish years later I wanted to pick it up again and after trying a couple of other teachers I was very fortunate to get a place in Janet's cohort of pupils. Janet is an excellent teacher. Incredibly organised, making use of a wide range of teaching resources, extremely knowledgeable and clearly a passionate and very talented piano player herself. Janet's no nonsense, but calm and encouraging approach, certainly brings out the best in my piano playing, and I have improved in confidence and ability in the term and a half I have been taught by her. I feel very lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough as a teacher of mature students."

"Janet has been an absolute Godsend - she has been patient and kind while teaching our daughter. She has supported her in the lesson and followed up with little videos as required. All of this has resulted in our daughter achieving distinctions for her preliminary and grade 1 exams. We are thrilled we found her!"
