Piano Lessons with Amy Simpkin
Flexible piano lessons for all ages and stages, to suit your individual interests.
Parent and Pupil Information
As a young and enthusiastic freelance musician, I am very excited about music-making as a composer and pianist. I have 9 years' teaching experience, ABRSM Grade 8 and a diploma (ARSM), as well as a dipABRSM in piano teaching. I have a valid PVG and relevant safeguarding training.
Lessons are always based on the pupils' interests, and choice of repertoire, method books and potential exam syllabuses will always reflect this. I’m also happy to bring in elements of keyboard, composition, music theory and songwriting to lessons, and encourage pupils to be creative in their playing. Lessons are well structured, and depending on the age and stage of the pupil will involve warm-ups, focused work on pieces, creative time and musical games. I encourage regular practise at home, with oversight from parents for younger pupils.
Overall, music lessons should be fun and enjoyable, and it’s important this remains our motivation for learning. I can’t wait to share my love of music with you!

Piano lessons on the South Side of Glasgow
I currently offer lessons at my teaching space at Queen’s Park School of Music, the new community music school in the heart of Shawlands! As a new music studio dedicated to teaching and music-making, it’s the perfect place to come and learn piano.
