Penny Speed Piano

I’ve been playing the piano since the age of five, and teaching is now at the heart of what I do. I work with both children and adults, from complete beginners to more advanced players, and I always tailor lessons to suit each individual.

​

For younger students, I focus on building strong musical foundations in a supportive and encouraging environment, helping them grow in confidence while keeping lessons enjoyable and engaging. For adult learners, I offer a flexible and understanding approach — whether you’re returning to the piano after a break or starting for the first time, lessons are shaped around your goals and pace.

​

Alongside practical playing, I naturally introduce music theory in a way that feels clear and relevant, so students develop a well-rounded understanding without it feeling overwhelming.

​

I hold a BA in Music and am currently completing an MA in Music Education, where I specialise in effective and practical approaches to teaching. This means my lessons are informed by both experience and up-to-date educational thinking.

​

As a musician, I have performed in orchestras and ensembles for many years and continue to run my own choir. This real-world experience feeds directly into my teaching, helping students develop not just technique, but musicality and confidence.

​

Above all, my aim is to make lessons a positive and rewarding experience. I believe every student can make progress with the right support, and if something isn’t working, I adapt my approach to find what does.
