ABOUT ME
Hi, my name’s Marie! I’m Irish and I teach piano and accordion.
I’ve been playing the accordion since I was a young child and began piano lessons when I started secondary school. Since then, I’ve played the accordion in orchestras and competed in international competitions, both as a soloist and as part of an orchestra. I also studied piano at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I have a diploma in piano teaching and have been teaching piano since 2011.
Classical music is my favourite on both instruments, but I also love to work with other musicians on more modern/pop music and play folk music on the accordion.
My lessons are student led and I try to help students feel relaxed and confident while focusing on their favourite music.
I’ve worked at AS Music School since 2019 and I’m also in charge of running exams, so please come to me with any exam questions you may have!
