Hi. I'm Miranda Basset and I have been playing the piano and singing  since the age of 5. I would love to teach you the joy of learning to play the piano,keyboards or singing, no matter what your age, right from beginners’ level.  I will show you how to read music, as well as improving your ear, so that you can play or sing your favorite pieces, be it classical, contemporary or pop.

Playing the piano and singing is a great way to unwind and have fun, while boosting your memory too.

I treat each student as an individual and adapt my teaching style to teach their unique needs.

I like to remain flexible and open in my approach within a traditional framework. This framework includes learning to read music, playing easy classical pieces,  learning scales, singing exercises and singing pop songs.
