Adam Duncan

Passionate and experienced piano and music theory teacher based in Knutsford, Cheshire, UK. I teach people of all ages and abilities, from beginner through to Grade VIII. Available for in person or online lessons. Graduated from the University of Leeds in 2008 with a 2:1 BA (Hons) in Music - specialising in performance and composition and have achieved ABRSM Grade VIII Piano, Violin and Music Theory. 

Teaching experience has included teaching in New Zealand for a year in 2005, where I taught instrumental, theory and classroom music at Marlborough Boys' College in Blenheim. 

Whilst teaching for numerous years, I have also been a keen composer, writing for short-films and commissioned to write a work for the Viola da Gamba, performed live on BBC Radio 3. 

Through my teaching, performance and composition, I'm a well-rounded musician and look to bring that to my piano and theory teaching. 

I have a flexible and fun approach to teaching. Learning the piano or music theory, especially at an early age or stage needs to be enjoyable. I adapt to what the student wants to achieve, whether that's to just be able to play for fun, or to work through their grades. I ensure that all areas of musicianship are developed when learning the piano, and so in addition to learning to play the piano, the student develops music reading, theory, aural and musicianship skills at the same time, so that they develop as a well-rounded musician, as well as an accomplished pianist.
