About Stephen
I’m a piano teacher and music composition PhD student based in Childwall, Liverpool. I can teach at locations within a few miles (lessons not currently available at my location). I have taught numerous students successfully on and off the ABRSM and Trinity syllabuses. Along with taking my PhD, I am currently working as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Liverpool. This will involve teaching seminars on three modules: Foundations in Tonal Harmony (MUSI181), Theory in Practice: Exploring Music’s Construction (MUSI180), and Composition for Digital Games (MUSI206). I have been teaching piano for over 7 years. Across this time, I have worked with a wide range of students, teaching from beginner to grade 8 level in piano, and up to grade 5 with music theory (necessary for grade 6 piano and beyond). My teaching focuses on piano and theory, plus some elements of composition and improvisation. In lessons, I prioritise a solid foundation of music theory and piano technique to enable independent learning and practice. My specialised teaching style emphasises the "why" behind every concept, connecting ideas to ensure a comprehensive understanding. This provides a basis for enthusiastic students to quickly progress to high standards. I teach a wide variety of different students, including those who want to pursue paths outside of any syllabus. Whether you are just starting or have experience already, I will assist with learning and progressing smoothly and comprehensively. Despite the thorough approach, I retain a relaxed, low-pressure mood in lessons; This encourages students to retain their enjoyment and creativity around the subject, including those with special needs. Qualifications: - (ongoing) PhD in Music Composition funded by the John Lennon Memorial Scholarship, University of Liverpool - MRes in Music Composition (distinction 80), University of Liverpool - BA(Hons) in Music (first class honours) + RLPO performance scholarship, University of Liverpool - ARSM diploma in piano performance (distinction), ABRSM - Music Technology extended diploma (distinction) + Music 90 credit diploma, City of Liverpool College

I teach as thoroughly as possible, encouraging students to learn music theory and reading along the way as foundations for learning independently to high standards. I can teach to the ABRSM exam syllabus or other boards/none if you prefer. Whether you are just beginning or have experience already, I’ll assist with learning and progressing smoothly and comprehensively.

Stephen is a young man who is different from traditional piano teachers. He is able to adapt to the student’s ability and pace. He is very talented musically and works with his student efficiently within their piano skill. I would definitely recommend Stephen as he teaches piano at the liking of the student, rather than a strict schedule, making music far more enjoyable and at the same time being able to achieve Merits and Distinctions in exams.
Stephen is very reliable and consistent, an excellent tutor.
