Testimonials

WHAT MY ADULT STUDENTS SAY

”I love his piano lessons. They’re very motivating, enjoyable, and they fly by! Mark is a great professional and an even better person.

I highly recommend him!"
Marta
“I'm in my second year of lessons with Mark. Each lesson has been thoroughly enjoyable and my piano playing has improved no end. I would highly recommend."
Carole
"I was somewhat apprehensive about starting piano lessons so late in life (I am 75).

However I have found Mark to be an excellent teacher - exactly the type I need who won't let me get away with being lazy at the piano.

He is patient and extremely knowledgeable and obviously adapts the lessons to each pupils ability. I would very strongly recommend him to anyone."
Terry
“Mark is a great teacher He is enthusiastic, passionate and has a sense of humour to keep things light and engaging. He has so much knowledge and wisdom to share and is a natural teacher, allowing the classes to flow naturally and with variety.

He is able to match the classes and content effortlessly to my level. I feel blessed to have found him."

Online Piano Lessons for Adults

Learning the piano as an adult should be enjoyable, inspiring, and entirely suited to your goals.

My online piano lessons for adults are built around the idea that every aspect of music is connected. In each piece we explore, we uncover its musical “ingredients” — patterns, harmony, technique, and expression — and link them to the wider elements of music. This approach helps you develop real understanding, confidence, and the freedom to play music you genuinely love.

These lessons are ideal for complete beginners, adults returning to the piano after many years, and experienced players who want to refine their technique or deepen their musicianship.

What you’ll gain

Lessons designed specifically for adults, tailored to your goals, learning style, and pace

Calm, encouraging guidance to help you build confidence and enjoy the learning process

Steady, meaningful progress you can hear and feel at every stage

Support with performance nerves, past frustrations, and gaps in musical knowledge

A structured yet flexible approach, helping you grow at a pace that feels right for you

Whether you’re taking your first steps or returning to a long-held passion, these online piano lessons for adults help you enjoy every moment of your musical journey.

QUALIFICATIONS AND PIANO TEACHING EXPERIENCE

With over 20 years’ experience providing online piano lessons for adults, I’ve guided hundreds of learners—from complete beginners to advanced students and diploma-level pianists—to discover (or rediscover) the joy of playing.

My approach combines traditional techniques with modern teaching methods, ensuring that every adult student’s musical journey is both rewarding and inspiring.

Lessons are fully personalised to match your pace, goals, and learning style, whether you are just starting out, returning to the piano after a long break, or seeking to refine advanced skills and performance technique.

By focusing on practical skills, musical understanding, and expressive playing, I help adult students develop confidence, mastery, and a lasting love for music—all from the comfort of your own home.

FAQs

How Long Does It Take to Play Simple Songs?

You can play simple, recognisable melodies within a few weeks of starting lessons. Within a few months, you’ll play more challenging music with both hands. Most adult beginners develop basic skills within 3-6 months of consistent practice. The timeline depends on your goals, practice frequency, and commitment.

Absolutely not. It’s never too late to learn piano. Research shows that adults of all ages—including those in their 60s, 70s, and 80s—can learn piano and gain significant cognitive and emotional benefits. Your brain maintains its ability to learn throughout life through neuroplasticity, which is your brain’s ability to form new connections.

Learning piano at any age stimulates this process and keeps your brain active and healthy.

Lessons take place on the agreed day and time, reserved exclusively for the student. Please note that lessons may not follow local school term dates.

Between 1 September 2025 and 30 July 2026, students are offered 42 lessons, including six non-teaching weeks (which may be split across separate days).

Daily practice on a piano or keyboard is essential. 

Parents and adult students are responsible for ensuring all assigned work is completed. If a student consistently arrives unprepared, the teacher may pause or terminate tuition.

My online piano lessons are delivered via RockOutLoud

Students may enter a virtual waiting room if the teacher is finishing another lesson.
