I've previously studied under The Royal College Of Music and Trinity College London and play a wide range of musical styles at a high level. I offer piano lessons to all, from someone wanting to learn a song or piece they love, as well as lessons in classical piano and music theory plus a whole load of other topics.
Seeking a professional piano teacher can be a difficult ask. I have an enhanced CRB check which is updated regularly and I've been a member of the Musicians Union for a number of years.

How lessons work
I'm a classically trained piano teacher in Barnet and my teaching approach is really simple. We all interpret and relate to music in a way that is personal to us. There is no “correct” way to this interpretation, however there are a few rules that apply to all genres and areas of music. My aim is to teach you these rules and allow each aspiring musician to explore and pursue their own unique musicality — and enjoy playing at the same time, of course.
I offer lessons that can be done at your home or at my teaching studio, so students can choose the location that works around their routine. I have an enhanced CRB check which is updated regularly and I am a member of the Musicians Union. I also belong to a number of teacher directories and governing bodies which provide supporting documentation for you to look over.
Lessons are given from my purpose built studio in Potters Bar — I believe that the best learning for piano is one to one.
Lessons are offered at 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes respectively — the length of a lesson really depends on the age and level of the student.
I offer piano lessons in Potters Bar and Barnet to people of all ages and at all levels, covering the rudiments of piano technique, sight reading, interval training and improvisation that are so important in the development of all of my students. If you require a friendly, patient and professional piano teacher please get in touch.
All piano tuition is prepared for each individual pupil. I learnt long ago through my own study that the secret to learning properly is making sure that each task has some degree of enjoyment — so my lessons are always a mix of actual playing, a little theory, and mainly having fun.
Who I teach
I teach piano to kids — I have a CRB certificate and currently give lessons to quite a few children, so parents have peace of mind. Giving tuition to youngsters is a regular challenge: each person is unique, each with their own character and ability. Seeing potential is so important to the art of teaching, as kids are generally more interested if they know where they have improved and where they need to improve.
With teaching piano to adults, I cover just as many areas as I do with children — from starters to more developed players. Many grown-ups approach me because they have a specific thing they wish to tackle, such as left/right hand dexterity, broadening their chord knowledge or their writing technique. I provide chord sheets to students as well as stave notation and scale charts, depending on what the pupil needs or prefers.

Testimonials
My seven-year-old daughter has struggled to enjoy lessons in the past, but really looks forward to lessons with Daniel. He manages to combine laid-back fun with solid theory and thorough practical work. I would recommend him unreservedly.
Having started piano lessons again after a break of 10 years, it has been a real pleasure to find a tutor like Dan. Very supportive and insightful, I have been impressed by his depth of knowledge and his ability to apply that to my own learning. Most importantly however is his love of music, empathy and sense of humour which make lessons such a joy.
Dan has been teaching my 6 year old daughter piano for almost a year now. I have found him to be a very patient, encouraging and supportive tutor who consistently makes lessons interesting for my daughter. She is always keen to attend lessons and has made excellent progress over the last year, due to Dan's enthusiastic and fun teaching style.
