Music With Diana

Having Studied classical, jazz and pop music for over 20 years, and performed in many and varied venues  in a professional capacity, I am eager to pass on my skills and experience to help in the development of tomorrow's musicians.

I am very patient and happy to go at your own pace. However it is surprising how much you will learn with just a few lessons to get you started.

I can also help bands in their rehearsal sessions, so they can make the most of their rehearsal time, develop their ensemble skills so they can come to be ready for gigs and launch their careers at pace.

Vocal Coaching

Whether you enjoy signing purely for fun at karaoke with your friends, or you are a serious performer looking to improve your technique and range, I can help you make the most of your individual vocal talent and give you the confidence to share this with your audience.

Piano / Keyboard

Having studied classical and jazz piano to ABRSM Grade 7 level I can teach piano from completed beginners up to advanced players. I can help with playing technique, repertoire choice and confidence building, so you can maximize your enjoyment of this wonderful instrument.

Music Theory

I am very accomplished in music theory and sight reading. I can help to demystify the dots in such a way that you will actually come to enjoy this aspect of your playing and improve your prospects of professional work along the way.

Bands

I can help both beginners and experienced pros with their band sessions so that all players can learn their repertoire quickly, work together in synergy, and get to gigging standard at pace.
