Cotswold Pianist

HI!
I am lydia

A pianist based in the beautiful Cotswolds, UK. I’ve been playing the piano since I was 5 years old and have over 20 years’ experience both performing and teaching.

 

As an experienced teacher, I am the founder of Cotswold Piano Studio (link?), a thriving studio providing lessons to nearly 200 pupils across Cotswold primary schools and privately.

 

I regularly play at weddings and events, providing beautiful, ambient music which suits the elegant surroundings in the many stunning venues nearby!

 

I also work as an accompanist for choirs and soloists.

 

I’d love you to have a look around my website, get to know me a bit more and find out what I can offer you!!

Teaching

I teach piano from any age from 5-80+.

 

My teaching philosophy is that no ‘one size fits all’ and every pupil learns in their own way, at their own pace and in their own style.

 

I take time to get to know my pupils, see how they tick, what works and what doesn’t, and to be flexible enough to make changes where necessary!

 

I teach a small number of pupils privately, but the majority of my teaching work is now done through my organisation, Cotswold Piano Studio (link?).

 

I began this business in 2024 as a way of meeting the huge demand for piano lessons in the Cotswolds!Head over to the website (link) to learn more about us and how you can sign up for lessons!

Weddings and events

I LOVE working with couples to provide the right mood for your wedding or event. I am able to play in all styles, but my specialism is providing beautiful and elegant music in either a light jazz, classical or easy listening style.

 

You can listen to many examples of my playing on my youtube channel 

 

As a trained classical pianist I can also provide any piece of classical music you require (as long as I have enough notice to make it perfectly polished for you!).

Accompanist

As an accompanist with nearly 30 years’ experience, I have worked with many choirs including The Mastersingers, The Bolton Musical and Choral Society, The Genesis Choral (under the direction of Neil Ferris), Bampton Singers, Sutton Singers, London Youth Choirs and more.

 

I am currently the regular accompanist for The Wychwood Singers where I work with the fabulous conductor Lizzie Soden. I’d almost say I love accompanying more than solo playing, as there is no feeling like playing with others!!

 

I am available to accompany music exams at all levels as well as solo performances. Please get in touch to discuss fees and availability.

Performances

I usually perform solo several times throughout the year. Recent performances include the Chipping Norton Music Festival, and Advent Piano (performed at Condicote Village Hall).

 

Due to a neck injury I was unable to do much performing in 2025, but now that I am on the road to recovery I look forward to more performances in the future!

I can’t wait
