30, 45 or 60 minute lessons
Lessons are online or at my personal address on the West Berkshire/Reading border. They focus on ABRSM piano grades and musical theatre vocals, however, I am always willing to embrace students wanting to focus on Trinity, School of Rock, improvisational and non-syllabus related learning. There are also sessions available for tutoring music theory to a grade 5 ABRSM standard, which is the requirement for grade 6 and above in any instrument.
-
£20
Best for complete beginners, children under 10 and those only seeking theory or audition related guidance.
The lessons focus on learning practical material, meaning any warm-ups would be done in the students own time prior to the lesson.
More technical exercises & scales would be given for practise after the lesson. -
£30
Most suitable for students taking graded examinations or wanting added guidance for intermediate/advanced level material.
Lessons will incorporate a 15 minute focus split between warm up technique, aural exercises, relevant theory and safe practise. -
£40
These are designed for students wanting a full technical warm up and are working through/learning intermediate to advanced pieces.
The lessons are also for developing aural and physical technique to audition for vocational colleges or to take Grade 5+ examinations.
They allow time for additional theory aid or for more beginner students wanting to learn both piano and vocals.

Enjoyment and performance is my main focus as a tutor having trained in Musical Theatre at the London Studio Centre, University of the Arts London. I have been privileged to have worked as a performer with Disney Cruise Line; Royal Caribbean Cruise Line; a number of UK national tours and international tours; the London Philharmonic Choir and BBC Proms.
For the last five years since covid, I’ve loved putting my knowledge into teaching students of all ages in London and have recently moved to West Berkshire for a quieter life.
Alongside my teaching, I worked as a music editor for Faber Music Publishing, editing works such as the official Harry Potter Piano Anthology and educational books by composers including Paul Harris, Pam Wedgewood and Elaine Gould. I then became Head of Education at the national theatre school, “Perform”.
I look forward to transferring back to teaching full time and focusing on those local to my new area in West Berkshire and Reading as I raise my own family. See you soon.

★★★★★ Steve B
I was an absolute beginner, not just to piano but also to music generally, when I found Rebecca on tutorful. A year or so later, with half hour zoom lessons most weeks, I can translate a simple score into music, playing the melody and chords across both hands. The biggest compliment is that my family no longer shut the door and they say they recognise the tune. Thank you so much Rebecca for teaching me with fun and patience!
