Singing & Piano teaching

Laurence runs a private teaching studio, as well as working as a visiting music teacher at Kings High School in Warwick, where he teaches both singing and piano.

In 2020, he recorded much of the (no longer current) ABRSM piano syllabus, which I hope was of some help both to my own students and to others.

"As a teacher, I am always looking to understand the student’s own experience of music and their reasons for having lessons in the first place. I am more convinced than ever that a teacher cannot learn the instrument for the student. What I can do as a teacher is be open to the student’s outlook and, through sharing enjoyment and enthusiasm, help students sustain and grow their own love of music. A feeling of achievement, however small, gives students ownership of their musical journey and builds that confidence which is not only crucial to musical performance, but a vital tool as they begin to take their place within the world."
