Covid-19 - The move to teaching online

I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of my students for being so supportive and flexible with the transition from lessons in person to online lessons. I am so grateful for your continued support, especially during these uncertain times.

I am now at full capacity for lessons, the transition to online lessons has been a great success and my students are making excellent progress, which makes me very, very happy! I’d like to congratulate everyone for the incredible progress that has been made over the past few months by so many of my students. Lock down life has probably taught us a lot, it appears to have given everyone a bit more time to practise, and perhaps this time has taught us just how lucky we are to be able to sit at a piano and play. I have passed many hours and days during lockdown sat playing at the piano and feeling so grateful that I was given this gift from my parents and teachers, so I really hope that you feel this too and can see that your children will have this wonderful gift to take through their life as well.

Although my online lessons are going brilliantly, I am missing my lessons in person a lot. I will continue to offer lessons online once we are able to return to normal life as some of my students are remote or international, but I also look forward to getting back to visiting all of my Bristol based students one day soon!

I understand that there may be some students who may need to stay online for longer than others, and there may be a staggered approach back to how things were before, but just as we have adapted to these huge changes over the past few months, we will do the same again when we start to move out of current restrictions and I will endeavour to keep you all up to date as and when this happens.

Until then, stay safe and I look forward to seeing you online soon! :-)
