Piano Tuition for all ages and abilities with experienced pianist and teacher - Classical / Grades 1-8 / Music theory
Hi students and music lovers !
Piano is a fun and rewarding way to explore music for people of all ages, whether you've played music before or not, and is one of the most accessible instruments right from the first lesson! I teach with a variety of pop-transcriptions and easy Classical pieces, simple improvisation and harmony exercises, and am comfortable adapting to each pupils own way of learning.
If you're new to piano, or have played before and want to rekindle your love of music, get in touch to arrange a first lesson! I will book us a room with a grand piano at the Academy.
I graduated Master’s cum laude in Piano Performance at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre studying with prof. Peep Lassmann, who was himself a student of the great Russian pianist Emil Gilels.
I have 12 years' private teaching experience, and was employed by Märjamaa Music and Art School as a 1:1 piano teacher in 2018-19. I also have a BMus (Hons) degree from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and DipABRSM, the standard professional teaching qualification in the UK.
Reviews from current students:
"Jamie is an amazing teacher. I had no knowledge of piano before him and was worried in general of being able to learn. His way of explaining, patience and incredible passion for music gave me the push to try and are reinforcing my motivation to learn more day-by-day. Our classes are alive, fun, and so much like a continuous journey through all the aspects of piano music."

About Me
HI, I'm JamieI’m a British pianist who recently graduated with a Master’s cum laude at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, studying with prof. Peep Lassmann, a student of the legendary Russian pianist Emil Gilels, and have 7 years conservatoire education in 3 different countries. I was awarded 3rd Prize at the Theodor Stein Piano Competition that same year, and have given recitals in the UK, Spain, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, including a recording featured on Latvian state television channel LTV1.
Since 2007, I’ve worked with private students in the UK, Finland and Estonia. I’m humbled by the unique relationship each student develops to music making, and firmly believe that piano playing can absolutely be accomplished by anyone.

Jamie is a very talented pianist, and as such, knows how to spot which aspects you can improve and how. A very creative teacher, he gives valuable advices that can speed up your learning, based on your own strengths and weaknesses. You can't go wrong with this guy, he really lives with music in mind.
It is great fun to work with Jamie on my piano skills.
Jamie is passionate about teaching all details and explaining even the very small points like the right posture, role of the arm and fingers etc.

Classical piano and music theory lessons for beginners, intermediate and advance studentsI provide piano lesson for beginning, intermediate and advanced students, preparing them for piano exams up to grade 8, including the necessary aural and music theory training. I also teach pre-school children from the age of 3 as well as children with disabilities, adjusting the music program to their needs.
When working with young children I focus on developing their musical imagination and curiosity, while also providing them with technical skills and a detailed understanding of the musical score. I aim to provide a firm basis on which they can build a western classical repertoire, or any other musical style they choose.
For beginners I work with one of the early piano syllabi, usually Thompson's 'Easiest Piano Course' or Oxford's piano method book 'Piano Time,' which consist of fun songs and simple melodies. Through this the pupil is gradually introduced to various aspects of the melody (such as pitch, duration of notes, phrasing and articulation) and coordination of both hands on the keyboard in a creative and stimulating way. At this stage I place a strong emphasis on proper body posture and hand position.
As the pupil acquires fundamental piano skills and gets comfortable reading music I proceed with them through the ABRSM or Trinity piano syllabus to a more advanced repertoire.
Throughout a student’s education, I incorporate sight reading, scales exercises and technical work into the lesson structure and daily practice routine of the pupil. I also focus on developing my students’ understanding of how music theory applies to the material they play.
Applying Musicological knowledge and own performing experience I teach students in depth analyses of the music they play, guide their individual interpretation and bring their awareness to the specifics of a historically informed performance.
My pupils play a broad variety of western classical styles, and I will work with them to balance their program and maximise their enjoyment and appreciation for music. The student will become familiar with the main forms and stylistic traits of baroque, classical, romantic and 20th century Western classical music.
I will also make sure the pieces stay challenging technically and if needed I will provide additional materials which will help the student to focus on the areas which need most work on.
Though not usually covered in exam syllabi, I am happy to work alongside the student on pieces which do not necessarily fit into the Western classical canon, should they so wish.
Playing and learning an instrument should primarily bring joy, and as a result inspire the student’s dedication to practice and foster a willingness to work hard. I believe in the importance of the relationship between teacher and student and as such provide the needed mental support and encouragement. I adopt an intuitive pupil-centred approach to learning that will best support their passion for making music. Attention to detail is paramount, and staying attuned to the needs of the student is always a priority. As such, I will adjust the tempo of the program to meet goals at a pace that is ideal for both the pupil’s ability and well-being.
Leonardo
Music Lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced musiciansIn my first years of music training I was always wondering what I was playing. Why this note works better with this other note, why this part returns in the end of the piece but with different chords. In this course I would like to share what I have learned so far about composition and harmony. Jazz harmony it's possible but my education is strictly classical
Alari
Popular music and contemporary performance (UK syllabus)Entry-level lessons teach about rhythm, melody, harmony, duo play, replay, music listening and ear training, music notation, and sight-reading. Learning depends on your life experience and abilities. You can learn some days, some others may develop skills some years. I sing a little on a weekly bases. I have songbooks of some hundred songs. I'm the only mountain dulcimer player in Estonia. I sometimes play the tenor or bass recorder, digital saxophone, melodica, digital piano and other electronic keys at home. I record music at home. Learners can continue their studies in a music school or studio. Musical literacy is the reading, writing, and playing of music, as well as an understanding of cultural practice and historical and social contexts. Kopli is famous for bohemians and fine art. Young musicians can rent a music studio at the youth centre.
