About the assessor

Experienced teaching, performance and exam preparation

I have taught piano and music theory for nine years and have experience preparing students for all ABRSM Piano Practical Grades, Performance Grades and Music Theory examinations. I conduct regular mock assessments for mine and other teachers' students.

My musical education includes an ARSM diploma in Piano and ABRSM Grade 8 Music Theory. I have performed in concert at Sinfonia Smith Square and at other venues and churches across London, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, as well as working as a jazz pianist in bars and restaurants.

I am not an ABRSM examiner. All marks are informed estimates based on published criteria.
