REVIEWS
About Piano Teacher Jim
I’ve been playing the piano for over 30 years. During this time, I’ve worked as a gigging musician and continued my personal music learning. A massive fan of jazz and blues, my teaching style is about empowering you to feel confident and comfortable at the keyboard. I’ve taught beginners through to experts, from ages 5 to 75. I am DBS enhanced checked and have experience teaching in schools.
Based in the beautiful Victorian model village of Saltaire, most of my teaching takes place in my home. I teach on a Kawai upright piano in my dedicated piano room. My home is close to public transport from Leeds, Bradford, Bingley, and Shipley. When you choose me as your piano teacher in Saltaire, Bradford, you’re choosing a convenient and experienced instructor.
When I’m not playing the piano, I enjoy exploring Saltaire with my loyal Labrador, Delia.
