About Joanne

Welcome to Creative Keys Studio!

As a dedicated, registered teacher for 30 years, it has been my privilege to teach students of all ages how to play piano and keyboard in the supportive atmosphere of my well-equipped home studio.

I also teach hundreds of musicians virtually through my YouTube Channel and other resources available at playaroundpiano.com.

I was classically trained in piano from a young age and have been fortunate to acquire comprehensive musical knowledge and skills.

My aim as a piano teacher and coach is to create life-long, well-rounded, confident musicians. My students are encouraged to play, perform and create music. They play the classics as well as pop, rock, jazz or any other of their favourite styles. If they choose to prepare for examinations my students always get great results.  

I develop individualised learning programmes using a range of fun, engaging and contemporary learning resources. The home practice incentive and awards programmes are very popular and inspire students to spend time developing their skills at home.
