Lessons & Fees

Lessons are held in a dedicated music room within a family home. A waiting room (with WiFi, if required) is provided for parents/carers, which is situated directly opposite the teaching room, from which lessons can be heard clearly. Parents/carers are welcome to enter or leave the lessons freely, as they wish. 

Unfortunately, since the Covid pandemic, David is now only teaching pupils from Grade 7 level and above. 

INSTRUMENTS

David's primary teaching piano is a KAWAI GM10 4'11" baby grand piano. However, advanced students benefit from the use of a reconditioned 1902 Steinway & Sons Model B grand piano. In addition, performance opportunities are offered to students (see below). 

PERFORMANCE

Each year, David offers his students an opportunity to perform to around 100 members of the public. A potentially daunting prospect to novice performers, the experience is made easier by the encouraging atmosphere created by parents and pupils who are all in the same boat! The annual pupils' concert is held during the autumn at St Martha's Church, Tring. The piano used for performances is a Yamaha C5 grand piano. Keep an eye on the homepage of this website for upcoming dates.
