Professional Piano and Electronic Keyboard Teacher

Mark Reeves provides private individual tuition in piano and electronic keyboard playing - which includes learning to read music notation and chord symbols, combined with music theory - in classical, jazz and pop styles to beginners, intermediate and advanced students (e.g. Grades 6, 7 and 8), for children and adults.

You can have face-to-face piano lessons or electronic keyboard lessons in the comfort of your own home (in the Horsham area) or in Mark Reeves' own private studio in Horsham.

Children from the age of 6 and adults of any age can learn to play the piano or electronic keyboard just for fun or for serious study. You can also be entered for piano and keyboard exams with the Music Teachers Board (MTB), Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), Trinity Guildhall or RockSchool (RSL Awards).

Piano lessons can be arranged for mornings, afternoons, evenings or Saturdays to fit around school times, work hours or other activities.

Naturally, there will need to be a suitable piano or electronic keyboard at home on which to practise, but if you haven't yet acquired one, Mark will be happy to offer you his advice.

Towards the end of each year Mark organises a concert in aid of the BBC Children in Need Appeal, where all his piano and electronic keyboard students are invited to perform a piece of music to their family and friends.

Mark holds a current DBS certificate (Disclosure and Barring Service) - previously known as CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) - and has £10 million Public Liability Insurance. Mark is also a member of The Musicians' Union and thereby follows their guidelines on professionalism and fees for individual private musical instrument tuition.

Learning to play the piano and electronic keyboard can bring incredible reward and great satisfaction.

• - Improved concentration

• - Improved co-ordination

• - Relaxation

• - Improved patience

• - Boosted self-confidence

• - Improved verbal, perceptual, numeric, spatial and motor skills
