What are your goals for PLUK?
At PLUK, my primary objective is to maintain the high standard of services and piano teachers, continuously striving to elevate our piano school to new heights. In Bristol, my focus extends beyond my piano studio, aiming to foster a vibrant piano community in a social context. We will be organising engaging piano concerts in Bristol.

How are the online piano lessons working with PLUK?
Fantastically well. Like everyone, we’ve had to adapt and improve our service. The online provision was something that was in the pipelines anyway and in light of the current global sentiments we felt it was necessary to bring its introduction forward. Our teachers are offered ongoing support to deliver these lessons but as always there is flexibility within this system. If you only know how to use Skype, then we can work with you on that. If you need guidance in setting up your super master control room, then we can help you with that too. Free of charge. That said, lessons in person are the most common way that we deliver our piano lessons.
What makes a good piano teacher?
Primarily talented piano teachers who are constantly looking to get better at their craft; down to earth and without egos. Also, people with a positive attitude towards life's adversities because this I trust makes them excellent professionals who will know how to handle any situation.
Further to this, I will offer them ongoing support making myself available to listen to their needs and concerns. It is also important that I continue to train myself, the more I develop myself as a piano teacher and performer, the more I will be able to help the teachers within the school to develop; delivering the best piano lessons Bristol has to offer.
What do I enjoy about the piano courses?
I enjoy the variety of styles they offer, I also enjoy how they are structured enabling the student to keep track of and measure their progress. However, it’s important to note that we can also support students by tailoring the path of learning to their goals and we can do this by recognising their needs, tastes and strengths. Whether that’s wanting to learn how to play moonlight sonata or how to play Ludivico Einaudi we will teach you how to play the pieces of piano music you want to learn whilst giving you the piano skills you need. This puts our Bristol piano teachers in a good position to prepare a collaborative plan of action helping your to achieve your goals.

What do you like about your PLUK piano teacher?
I love my PLUK piano teacher's enthusiasm for the piano and music in general. Our discussions about various classical pieces and his recommendations for music to listen to have truly enriched my Bristol piano lessons.
I also find him to be an incredibly skilled teacher, particularly in recognising where I struggle with different pieces or techniques. After each lesson, I notice a significant improvement in my playing as I put into practice his insightful recommendations. Initially, I thought having a lesson every week might be too much, but I've come to value them greatly. The flexibility to switch up the lessons and focus on different aspects keeps things engaging and prevents monotony. His willingness to work towards the Grades aligns perfectly with my preference for structure. Overall, I find him to be a very intuitive teacher. It's been a little over a year, and we're working towards my Grade 3. My Bristol piano lessons with PLUK remain one of the favorite parts of my week.
What do you like about the PLUK piano lessons in Bristol?
I thoroughly enjoyed the beginner's intro course we started with—it provided a comprehensive introduction to everything. As we've moved on to working towards the grades, I appreciate having the structure of a syllabus to work towards in my Bristol piano lessons with PLUK.
Would you recommend your PLUK piano teacher in Bristol to someone else? If so, why?
Absolutely, I would and very often do. Despite his move a little further out of town, I am happy to make the journey to Bristol to visit PLUK and wouldn't consider finding a new teacher.
What do you enjoy about studying at the PLUK piano school in Bristol?
Studying at PLUK in Bristol is not only educational but also a source of great fun. I derive a wonderful sense of achievement from it. My PLUK piano teacher is not only skilled but also a lovely person. I particularly enjoy the occasional lesson where we delve a little more into the theory behind things and just get to talk about the beauty of music and how mathematical it is.

How do I start learning the piano in Bristol?
Learning how to play the piano can be most easily compared to learning a new language. If you want to communicate freely, musically speaking, then it is important that you learn how to:
read
write
listen
perform
improvise
practice the above
If you don't know how to read or write music but can improvise, then you'd be limited in your ability to access all of the musical stories that exist throughout the world. That said, the learning path you choose will always be decided by you. We will provide you with the required information and you and your piano teacher will set goals based upon your needs and aspirations.
