I offer a patient and friendly approach with expertise in several areas. I have had over 20 years experience in teaching, performing and recording music. I've been teaching in local schools for over 20 years. Parents are welcome to sit in with lessons or in an adjacent room.

I teach beginners and experienced students over a wide range of ages. I often teach adults coming back to playing after a gap of many years.

I teach students sitting exams up to advanced grades and diploma.

A lot of students don't take the exam route and develop very well. You may care to dabble in a range of styles such as pop, classical, jazz and improvisation.

I believe rapport with students and parents is one of the most important parts of teaching.

I have been a professional performer and composer with recordings available through Bandcamp, iTunes, and Spotify.

I've performed Classical, Jazz, folk, blues, pop and ambient styles

I've performed in two NZ solo national tours and also performed in the UK, USA and Germany

    Don has been teaching my daughter to play the piano for the past 6 years+. Don is always relaxed and patient, and has a good sense of humour keeping the lessons fun. My daughter has progressed to an advanced level with Don and has been extremely successful with her exams with Don's support. Don is also a very accomplished musician and has a gentle and natural style in imparting his knowledge. He is also very reliable. I highly recommend Don to anyone considering a music teacher.

    Don is very approachable, patient, encouraging able to relate to our daughter on her level, He would help our daughter to work out where she was going wrong and why in terms of technique and theory. He has a relaxed attitude towards the lessons - so they were not in any way stressful. Don guided & supported my daughter through what she needed to achieve for her grade exams. We feel really lucky to have had Don as our daughter's piano teacher. We have no reservations in recommending him.

    Don has been the piano teacher for my three girls for over 3 years. Each child has a completely different personality yet Don manages to connect with each of them. Don is patient and kind with each child. I frequently overhear laughter and see smiles from the kids during their lessons. Don manages to encourage their love of music . I would highly recommended Don as a Piano teacher.
