About Merrick
I’m a piano teacher with over 7 years of experience and a Graduate Diploma in Piano Pedagogy. I love helping my students connect deeply with the music they play. For me, music is not just notes—it’s emotion, storytelling, and expression. I focus on building strong foundations in pedal technique and dynamic control, which are essential for bringing music to life. Nuanced musical expression is a key part of every lesson. I guide students to feel the subtle changes in tone and phrasing that make a piece unique. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, I tailor lessons to your needs and goals. I believe that technical skills and emotional connection go hand in hand. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and supportive. I want every student to discover their personal voice through the piano. Together, we work on developing both your technical ability and expressive skills. Learning piano should be joyful and inspiring. I’m excited to help you grow as a musician and experience the beauty of music. Let’s start this journey together!

My teaching approach focuses on nurturing creativity while providing a solid structure for songwriting on the piano. I guide students through composing melodies and harmonies, crafting memorable intros and outros, and developing strong musical themes. Each lesson encourages exploration while maintaining clear goals. I believe every student has a unique musical voice that deserves to be heard. I’m especially skilled at working with The Therapy Seeker and The Jazz Pianist, helping them channel their emotions and ideas into original compositions. We work step-by-step to build confidence and technique alongside creativity. I use examples, hands-on exercises, and listening activities to inspire and inform. My goal is to help you express yourself fully through your music. You’ll learn how to organise your ideas and bring them to life on the piano. Together, we’ll focus on crafting pieces that feel authentic and meaningful. This balance of creativity and structure supports lasting growth. By the end of our work together, you’ll have the skills to compose your own musical legacy. Let’s start building your unique sound today!
