Piano Lessons in Derby

Cate is a lovely teacher. My daughter started lessons with Cate a year ago when she was 6 years old and she absolutely enjoys it. A year on, they are working towards their Prep test. Cate is kind, patient and has the ability to give clear instructions/ guidance in her lessons. Highly recommended.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons with Cate, a caring and dedicated tutor who is keen to bring our the best in every student. I have no hesitations in recommending Cate, she is patient, engaging and clearly very talented! Thank you for opening my daughter's eyes to the joys of reading music she loves it and you!!

Amazing person and my daughter has gained so much confidence while having lessons from cate

We have had Cate teaching our eldest two children for around a year now and she is brilliant. They both look forward to their piano lessons each week and Cate has a great way with them. Treating them with respect but still being able to have a giggle with them too. We are so pleased with how well they are both doing that our youngest child has been asking to learn for a few months now so he is starting to spend some time with her too. Ultimately I wasn’t concerned about my children progressing through the grading system, I just wanted them to develop a love of music and enjoy it, and they really do.

I started having lessons with Cate a year ago. When I began I couldn't play a single note. With her teaching and confidence in me I have not only learned how to play but I have become confident enough to play in front of others. Cate is professional, experienced and an absolute pleasure to be taught by. I would highly recommend Cate to anybody who wishes to learn piano or just wants to brush up on their skills.

Amazing piano teacher. She has been teaching my daughter piano for nearly two years and my daughter has made excellent result. Cate is professional and highly skilled teacher. Highly recommend Cate as a teacher.

I have been having lessons with Cate for almost 8 months now and her teaching method is awesome! It's simple and enjoyable with fast results. When I first started the only thing I could play was 'Chopsticks', but now I am accompanying myself whilst i sing my heart out! She has also helped me to progress with my songwriting skills. If you want to learn piano, I can highly recommend Cate...

Cate is an excellent piano teacher. My daughter has been having weekly piano lessons for around a year and a half at Cate's studio, and I can honestly say she thoroughly enjoys them! She is a patient, kind and encouraging teacher who has nurtured a love and understanding of music that my daughter will carry with her throughout her life.Cate sends lesson notes at the end of each lesson via email with information on progress and constructive feedback. I have also found her flexible with lesson times during school holidays, which really helps.All in all, everything you would want in a piano teacher!
