      <image:title>About Me - About</image:title>
      <image:caption>I strongly believe in teaching the very best technique as it is impossible to play well without this solid foundation. I aim to inspire students to develop sensitivity and musicianship and encourage learning to play from memory as well as learning to read music. I’m committed to making sure students enjoy their lessons, make quick progress and come away feeling encouraged and inspired. I organise regular concerts throughout the year for all my students who wish to perform on a grand piano in a beautiful venue. See concert videos I hold a 100% pass rate with ABRSM with the vast majority of my students achieving Merits &amp; Distinctions. Exams aren’t necessary though, this is up to each individual student. My musical background and taste are extremely varied having studied many genres including classical, traditional, folk, jazz, Celtic, Serbian, electronic dance music and film composition.</image:caption>
