About
I started playing at six in Scotland and came down to London in 2012 to study at the London College of Music. I've made a living at the piano and behind a stack of keyboards ever since. Rock nights at Metalworks in Camden, blues at the Blues Kitchen, the odd big one at the Jazz Café, session work, and a fair bit of quieter playing in hotels.
In 2019 I spent a month at sea on The World. Around then I got to the kind of tension in my hands that ends careers, and it sent me looking for a better way of doing it. I found the Taubman Approach and I've been training in it since, in London with Deren Eryilmaz and in New York with Edna Golandsky. It rebuilt my technique, and now I teach it.
These days it's live and session keys, classical playing, and Taubman lessons.

Taubman technique
Most pianists get taught to push through tension. It's why so many careers quietly end in injury. The Taubman Approach says the opposite: if it hurts, the movement's wrong, and the movement can be fixed.
I teach one to one in London and online. Beginners very welcome, and so is anyone who plays already and has hit a wall, whether that's pain or a passage that never gets any cleaner.
