About

Hi, my name is Gauri. I have 5 years of teaching experience and currently work at two music schools based in Manchester. To excel as a music educator, I studied music education and community under Dr. Adam Grieg and attended teaching seminars by Trinity Laban Conservatoire with Tim Palmer. I’ve had the privilege of performing at prestigious venues in the UK and India, including St. Paul’s Hall, The Stein Auditorium, Sai Auditorium, and Siri Fort Auditorium.

Grateful for the opportunities I've received, I am committed to giving back to society through community-focused music projects. I have worked with the Sunshine Orchestra in Chennai, an initiative founded by A. R. Rahman to provide free music education to underprivileged children. In this role, I mentored young musicians, helping them develop their skills and fostering a love for music.

Additionally, I have been involved with Music and the Deaf in the UK, an organization dedicated to providing musical opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Through workshops and performances, I’ve contributed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can experience the joy of music.

Curriculum

Teaching Method:

My teaching method is structured, clear, and tailored for adult learners. Lessons focus on building strong foundations in technique, theory, ear training, and musicianship while keeping sessions engaging and practical. I combine step-by-step instruction with hands-on practice, encouraging students to apply what they learn directly at the piano.

Key features of my approach:

  • Individualized lesson plans based on each student’s goals and skill level

  • Clear, actionable practice guidance to ensure steady progress

  • Integration of music theory and ear training into practical playing
