We teach all styles – classic and contemporary. Our piano lessons in Glasgow are taught on a one-to-one basis.
Whether you are an absolute beginner at playing the piano or are already an experienced performer, we will tailor your lessons to suit your ability level. You will also be able to learn at a pace you are comfortable with. Every student is unique and learns in their own way, our lessons are professionally designed with this fact in mind.
Our piano tutor Ally Forsyth is a vastly experienced multi-instrumentalist, who studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. He works regularly with some of the country's most in-demand musicians.
Ally attended the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music in Plockton where he learned from Andy Thorburn (piano) and Jack Evans (guitar). It was here that he became part of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nominated band, Thalla.
Since moving to Glasgow, Ally has studied under Mary McCarthy and James Ross. He has also performed at some of the UK's most prestigious venues including the Royal Albert Hall and the Steinway Hall, London.
