Music graduate offering piano, music theory and composition lessons in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Methodology
My methods of teaching depend on the students' individual needs and levels. I follow the ABRSM guidelines in terms of material but I always tailor my lessons according to the students' preferences. I aim in encouraging my students to engage with the musical material in a fun and enjoyable way, while also working to meet the desired standards for exams.
Experience
I am a recent First Class Honours Music Graduate from the University of Aberdeen. I have been teaching piano and music theory since 2017, mostly to young students but I am happy to take students of all ages and levels.

I met Anna at university and found her to be a lovely person, very kind and patient. I had some experience with piano but needed help to pick it up again. Anna was excellent at her job and she gave me the confidence and the boost I needed to continue playing. The skills I learned from her are still extremely valuable to me to this day. If you're looking for a piano teacher then look no further, Anna is wonderful.
