Rie Compton LRSM (Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music)

I have been teaching piano for over two decades. Until recently, I taught children from around the world at a British international school in Brussels. From this experience I have learnt that everyone is musical and anyone can play well with the right guidance and deliberate practice, and rapid progress occurs when students are motivated.

 

I've also worked with people with learning difficulties, autism, dyslexia and ADHD and I try to adapt my approach to suit each individual's learning style. I hold the LRSM and can teach up to the grade 8 / ARSM level.

It’s always a joy to help students play their favourite pieces for pleasure or for exams.

WHAT PARENTS SAY

Stephanie, Brighton and Hove

Rie has been so brilliant with my 7 year old daughter Ivy. She has been having lessons for a year now and has come on so much. Ivy struggles to focus at times but Rie always manages to get her back on task sensitively whilst entertaining Ivy’s many questions! I couldn’t recommend Rie more highly!

Learning music and to play piano with Rie is joyful. Rie perfectly structures her lessons to  match the progress and interests of her student and she provides excellent supplemental material for practice. Highly recommended!

Nicole Chan, Brighton and Hove

We strongly recommend Rie to anyone!  She is a very professional teacher, my boy Anson has learned a lot of useful and practical piano skills from her!  Rie is preparing him to take ABRSM Grade 6 Piano exam and he finds her lessons fun and engaging!  We are really lucky to have such a good teacher!
