Piano Tuition for All

Sarah Allerton

Me at my old home on my Knight upright, which has was built for me when I was 7 years old. 

Welcome. Thank you for visiting my page. 


NOTE; I am currently looking for students aged 16 and over. Adults wanting to return to the instrument or adults having a dream of one day learning are especially welcome.

My name is Sarah and I have been teaching piano professionally for around 30 years. I do it because I love it, because the relationship between me and a student is magic,  and increasing their confidence and seeing them grow on their musical journey is a thrill for me and for them. I teach for a student's enjoyment and enrichment

You will need a keyboard to start lessons as practice at your home is essential. Both electric and acoustic pianos are fine. You can rent these which is a good idea for the first year.

I teach in an informal fun way which is why my lessons are 40 minutes instead of 30 to allow for any questions or talk. If you are not enjoying the challenge of learning (and it is a challenge) then you a have chosen the wrong instrument. I have a baby grand piano as well as an upright to teach on, which is a real treat!

I teach from 8 years on onward although those over 16 years of age are desired.

I teach everyone, so if you identify as other than male or female I have absolutely no issue with that at all, and will fully support your choices.

I teach all genres and try to introduce music to students that they may have never considered. I do teach the reading of musical notation, but also encourage composition, improvisation and learning by ear from day one. Also of great importance is listening to a wide range of music. Don't be afraid to listen to what you think you won't like or don't understand. Try to have an open mind when you learn and you may surprise yourself.

Below are three of my students. Left to right aged 9, 7 and 16 years. The 7 year old started when he was 6 as he had the focus and ability to concentrate for 10 minutes at a time. This is vital for learning.


I also run writing classes for Creative Prose and Poetry which are currently run in my home below, on the second Monday of the month 10 - 12.30 and for u3a members the last Monday of the month same time and place. Please get in contact if you think you might be interested. They are free.
