Hello! I’m Julia Lewis, a keyboard and piano teacher with 25 years’ experience of teaching children and adults. I live in Approach Road in London’s East End and currently have one or two vacancies for new pupils. Please telephone 07525 010 934 to find out more.
I visit my pupils, rather than have my pupils visit me, and at present I give home piano lessons and keyboard lessons in Barnet EN5, Bow E3, Hackney E5, Bethnal Green E2, City E1, Stoke Newington N16 and Tower Hamlets.
I am happy to prepare students for Associated Board or other examinations though I don’t automatically focus on exams.
My CV in brief is as follows: I was trained as a pianist and separately as a teacher by Frederick Bailey – a pupil of the twentieth century piano guru Matthay who taught the legendary Clifford Curzon and Myra Hess! So I consider myself a ‘grandchild’ of Matthay in teaching lineage terms.
I took a BA/MA in music at the University of Oxford, and followed that with a diploma in pianoforte teaching from the Royal College of Music.
I teach all ages and levels but with an emphasis on the lower age group. I have pupils as young as just four years old.
I have studied with G. Frederick Bailey, Frank Wibaut, Ian Brown, and Paul Roberts. I was piano teacher for St Martha’s Junior School before its recent sad disbandment, and am on the Junior Guildhall list of supply teachers.
