Finally put the finishing touches on my new piano studio! It's been a busy few weeks moving and assembling in between teaching, but we finally got there π π
Filming for a new BBC drama is being filmed in the near vicinity of the studio next week. This means there will be traffic and parking restrictions on nearby streets including New Hall Street which most students park on. This will affect Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st of March, so please leave a little extra time to arrive so that you are able to locate an alternative car park, or street parking. Thanks!

One of the many things I love about being a piano tutor is meeting and getting to know many different people with a shared interest. I am fortunate enough to have tutored people who originate not just from the UK but from all over the world, including Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Hong Kong, China, Romania, Kenya, India, Mali, Czech Republic, Sri Lanka, and Turkey πβοΈ
