The artists behind every lesson
Active professional musicians and conservatoire graduates, our teachers bring real-world artistry into every lesson. Trinity Laban, BIMM London. The kind of teachers who still play.
Lead Educator & Founder
I'm Norbert Steczkowski, a pianist and educator who fell in love with teaching after graduating with honours from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music. Nothing matches helping a student find their own musical voice and confidence.
I trained in both classical and jazz, performed at the Royal Albert Hall with the Trinity Jazz Band, and went on to specialise in Popular Music Performance at BIMM London. That range lets me meet every student where they are, whether classical, jazz or pop.
My lessons balance real technique with creative freedom, in a warm, encouraging environment that leaves you genuinely excited to play.
I prepare students for ABRSM and Trinity exams from Grade 1 to Grade 8, with a 90 per cent plus pass rate at merit or distinction. Alongside the syllabus, I teach music theory, composition and improvisation for those who want to play beyond it. Children from age 4 welcome, plus GCSE, A-level, and a steady stream of adult beginners and returners.

Pianist, Performer & Educator
I'm Declan Rafton, a pianist and performer with over ten years' experience and an Honours degree in Piano Performance from BIMM London.
I still perform regularly across London as a soloist, ensemble player and choir accompanist, so my teaching stays practical and rooted in real music. I specialise in blues, with a love of 70s rock, rock and roll and jazz, all built on a solid classical foundation.
I've taught students of every age and level, tailoring each lesson to your goals in a supportive space where confidence and technique grow together.
I prepare students for ABRSM, Trinity and RSL Rock & Pop exams from Grade 1 to Grade 8. Lessons lean into rock, blues, jazz and contemporary repertoire on a solid classical foundation, with ensemble work and choir accompaniment for those who want to play alongside others. Children from age 4 welcome, plus adult beginners and returners.

Pianist, Vocalist, Performer & Educator
I'm Lena Charalambous, a pianist, vocalist and performer, with a First-Class degree in Music and a Master's in Popular Music Performance from BIMM London. The part of teaching I love most is that first spark, the moment a student plays something they were sure they never could.
Music has been my whole world for as long as I can remember. I hold Grade 8 in piano, singing and music theory, and my own journey has taken me from classical piano through to musical theatre and popular vocals. I still perform across London as an independent artist, so my teaching stays close to real, living music.
Everyone learns differently, so I build each lesson around the student in front of me, gently and at their own pace. Whether you are a nervous beginner or itching to perform, my lessons are a warm, encouraging space where nerves settle, confidence grows, and playing feels like a joy rather than a chore.
I prepare students for ABRSM and Trinity exams from Grade 1 to Grade 8 in both piano and music theory, and for anyone who would love to sing, write their own songs or step into musical theatre, we can explore your voice alongside the piano. Children, teenagers and adults are all welcome, whether you are finding your very first note or returning to the piano after years away. I would love to help you find your sound.
