“Your piano for singers course was so amazing. I can now play fairly skilful piano from zero (or one fingered synth) and I use your skills every day. You are such a naturally great teacher too.”

What singing teachers are saying:

“I came to Elizabeth as a lapsed classical pianist looking to develop my keyboard skills in different areas (choral accompaniment and jazz). Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable in a range of genres and techniques and she is fabulous teacher - warm, encouraging and learner-focused. As a teacher myself, I really appreciated her effective communication and helpful resources. Her guidance and feedback helped me to develop my confidence as a musician.”

About me

Hello, I’m Elizabeth and I use the piano for singing every day. I know exactly what you need from the piano for teaching —and, most importantly, what you can leave out. I was fortunate to grow up with classical musician parents. Cello and choral music was part of my childhood and I don’t remember learning to read music. But let me tell you it took a very long time to cross over to the chord interpretation, improv, rhythm section playing of commercial groove styles. — now I couldn’t imagine teaching without calling on both classical and commercial styles. First Lecturer in Music Post aged 22. I taught for 25+ years in London including Visiting Lecturer BMUS - Westminster University (10 + years), Head of Vocals -London College of Contemporary Music, Southwark (16+ years), Director of BRIT KIDS -The BRIT School (Maternity cover).The piano can be a game-changer for some teachers, and irrelevant for others. The point is knowing which it is for you.
