Welcome to LearnPianoEdinburgh

My name is Alexandra and I am a piano tutor and music composer with a Music Conservatoire degree.

With 28 years of Academic experience and 11 years of professional experience, I am able to demonstrate and encourage high standards of professionalism, supporting aspiring young musicians as well as beginners.

Children can begin playing as soon as they have some reading ability and adult beginners or those returning to the piano after a gap are always welcome.

Lessons last for an hour, 45 minutes or half an hour, depending on students' level and patience.

Currently, I teach students who wish to take ABRSM, Trinity College and RockSchool exams, but I am also happy to do casual tutorials (e.g classical, contemporary, rock, jazz, pop, folk).

I approach my students in a calm and positive way, making sure that they not only get most of their lessons, but also enjoy them. Music and movement instruction has been shown to improve children's memory, cognitive development, learning skills and expressive ability.

Practice

Students are expected to practice regularly during the week, and parental involvement in home practice is important. Parents of primary school-aged students should plan to sit with their child as they play at least once a week, even for a few minutes. Older students should be encouraged to make practice a part of their routine. Each week, there will be a detailed list of practice tasks and theory exercises to be completed for the next lesson. Parents should check this to ensure that the work is being completed.
