Welcome
I specialise in providing individual piano tuition for adults and teenagers from Beginner to Diploma level.
Lessons are available remotely, or in my home near Ashley, Tetbury in Gloucestershire.
Pupils enjoy playing a modern German Haessler upright by Blüthner.
My teaching aim is to cultivate and develop an enduring passion and curiosity for music-making built upon a strong pianistic technique and all-round musical proficiency.
I adopt a flexible approach which tailors lessons to meet the musical interests, needs, and goals of the individual. Every pupil enjoys a bespoke programme of study designed to stimulate and inspire, boost creativity and understanding, and foster personal growth and enrichment.
Many of my pupils gain a tremendous sense of motivation and achievement working toward ABRSM examinations, and have achieved success in a number of national music festivals. Those not interested in formal performances are equally welcome, and many mature pupils enjoy preparing the occasional informal performance for a friend or loved one.

To discuss your musical aspirations and organise an initial consultation lesson, please give me a call or send an email.
“Cate is a superb teacher and certainly does make the most of each lesson. I am amazed how much I have improved even after a few lessons… every week, I feel inspired and motivated to practise…because Cate is so enthusiastic, she does instil that in me as well- so that making music is fun and to be enjoyed at any level”
