Thank you for the interest in my school. I have been teaching music in Ellon since 1988 and in that time I have tutored hundreds of candidates for entry to the Associated Board Examinations. It is my goal that students will learn to enjoy and appreciate music and look forward to their lessons. Students may play purely for pleasure also. RULES

Just an update on face to face lessons which will be commencing on 24th August. No one is forced to come in face to face and the appointed online lessons may be continued. Obviously Exam pupils will have to come to class but if you wish to do 1 lesson online and 1 lesson in class would work to cover the sightreading and aural tests.
Weather permitting I will have seating outside on the paving slabs. Please do not enter until I let you know it is safe to do so. If the weather is bad the chairs will be at the front of the garage inside for shelter. There is hand gel to use on entry, the piano stool is disinfected in between each student as is the piano. You may wear a mask if you wish. I will be wearing gloves and a face sheild. Any other questions please message me. Cat Rosie has missed you all.

During this difficult and trying time I would like to thank all the students who have continued to support me by agreeing to online lessons. I am now in a position to restart face to face lessons commencing Monday August 24th. I will be wearing a face shield and students should wash hands before lesson and before leaving the lesson. You may wear a face mask also if you prefer. The piano will be sanitised between pupils and all necessary steps will be taken to protect us all. I will continue to teach also by the online method for those who prefer it. Please let me know.
I am in the process of updating my diary now. (A daunting task) I have to leave 10 minutes between each student to allow for minimal contact. Should any of you require a change of time now is the time to request it and I will welcome any new enquiries also.
If anyone has any questions or enquiries please text me on 07805314388 Margaret Bentley
Due to the corona virus I am now down by 22 pupils. My elderly students are mostly unsure to video link.
Some parents have lost income and my heart goes out to you all. Hopefully we will see each other again when all this is over.
Many thanks to Fiona Topping donating the books I require. I need the music in front of me when doing online video tuition. Lifesaver!
Anyone out there have a John w Schaum orange book or violet book that they are willing to sell? If so please text me on 07805314388. Having difficulty sourcing them. Margaret
