This is what I offer:
Piano-based music sessions
If you want to play the piano but traditional, method book-style lessons don't work for you... you're in the right place! My piano-based sessions focus on learning about music from the bottom up... delving into what music is made up of and exploring ourselves and our own individual playing style. We learn through movement, singing, improvisation and exploration. It's a journey together; a partnership. There's so much joy to be found in learning this way... I wish I'd had this opportunity when I was younger!
1:1 music and play sessions for children, teens and adults
Our 1:1 music sessions are bespoke and will vary in content depending on you or child. They include activities such as musical exploration on piano, percussion and voice, art and craft activities, outside playtime in our beautiful grounds at Ushaw Historic House and Gardens and a variety of sensory activities.
We have Pay As You Go sessions during schools hours and on Thursday evenings if you can't commit to weekly sessions.
Piano for Wellbeing 1:1 and group sessions
Our Piano for Wellbeing Sessions are for adults and teens who are too busy for regular sessions but need some music and relaxation in their lives! They work whether you have never played before or maybe did when you were younger and would like to have a lovely improv session, enjoying the sounds you can make and the feeling of making music with someone else. This video give you a flavour of the session:
Humming Sessions
These lovely sessions are for you if you to find a way to relax but find traditional meditation difficult. We start with a lovely breathing practise, then explore how humming can be beneficial in helping us regulate our nervous systems. It's scrumptious!
Holiday Sensory Music and Play Sessions
These are for you if your child can't manage sessions during term time but would like a bit of music time every once in a while. Keep an eye out for what we have coming up on our homepage.
If any of that takes your fancy, do get in touch or sign up to our newsletter!
We have the option for Pay As You Go sessions... sign up for as many or as few sessions as you like with the flexibility to cancel up to 24 hours in advance.
