Welcome to the online home of Claire Allen's piano and music theory studio, based in the village of Lea, near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. I've over 10 years experience teaching beginners to advanced pupils in piano and music theory.
I'm enhanced DBS checked through the ISM (Incorporated Society of Musicians) of which I'm a member. I regularly take Continuing Professional Development training in teaching, piano and music. As well as my BA(Hons) degree qualification, I've studied music composition at HE level 4, 5 and 6 (e.g. first, second and third year degree level). I'm also a qualified piano technician (CGLI, Dip) and happy to offer advice regarding pupils who need a piano.
Wellbeing lies at the centre of my teaching philosophy. If pleasure is your motivation to learn piano, I support that desire wholeheartedly - whatever your age is! Likewise I also enter pupils for graded exams (performance and / or music theory) to support their music education studies from primary to university level, or for personal ambition instead.
