Piano Lessons for Adults
Have you always wanted to learn the piano – or return to it after years away?
Whether you're starting for the first time or coming back after a long break, lessons are designed to help you feel comfortable, supported, and confident at the piano.
Many adult students feel unsure when beginning, and that's completely normal. You'll be guided step by step in a calm and encouraging environment, at a pace that suits you.
Thinking About Learning Piano?
A Personalised and Thoughtful Approach
Lessons are carefully tailored to your individual goals, interests, and learning style.
You may wish to:
-
play for enjoyment
-
improve your technique and control
-
accompany your singing
-
or develop a deeper understanding of music
Whatever your goals, lessons provide clear guidance and practical strategies to help you make steady, meaningful progress.
Understanding, Not Just Playing
Adult learners often want more than simply following instructions – they want to understand what they are doing and why.
Lessons are designed to support this by:
-
providing clear, practical explanations
-
connecting theory directly to what you are playing
-
breaking down complex skills into manageable steps
-
allowing space for questions, reflection, and deep exploration
You'll develop not only your playing, but also the skills to practise effectively and think independently as a musician.
Learn in a Supportive and Encouraging Environment
Starting something new can feel unfamiliar or even daunting, particularly later in life.
Felicity understands this from personal experience, having begun singing lessons in her early 20s. This perspective informs a teaching approach that values patience, encouragement, and calm, supportive guidance.
Lessons are designed to help you feel at ease from the very beginning, with progress acknowledged and built upon over time.
Develop Ease, Control, and Expressive Freedom
A strong technical foundation supports confident, controlled and expressive playing.
Lessons incorporate a whole-body approach to technique, helping you to:
-
play with greater comfort and coordination
-
reduce unnecessary tension and strain
-
develop control, balance, and tonal awareness
-
shape phrases expressively
Technical development is introduced progressively and adapted to suit your individual needs, including hand size, span, flexibility, and physical comfort.
Practical Strategies for Busy Adults
Balancing work and personal commitments can make regular practice challenging.
You'll be supported with practical, time-efficient strategies to help you maintain steady progress, even with limited practice time.
Areas You Can Explore

You may explore:
-

What Students Say
"I have been taking piano lessons on and off since I was 7 years old.
After starting lessons with Felicity, I was able to focus more on my technique and timing than I ever had before.
As a result, it gave me more control over how I was playing, a better understanding of the importance of technique and created a better sound when I played. Felicity was able to customise our lessons to focus directly on the areas I needed to work on, at the pace that worked for me.
Felicity's thoroughness and attention to detail makes her a fantastic teacher, I couldn't recommend her more."
