I love helping teachers bring more creativity into their lessons — especially if it feels a bit outside their comfort zone.
If you’ve ever wanted to include more improvisation or composition in your teaching but weren’t sure where to start, I can help.
I offer mentoring sessions for piano teachers.
In these sessions, we can explore anything from simple improvisation ideas for beginners to guiding advanced students in arranging their favourite songs. I’ll also share some of my go-to teaching resources and show you how to adapt them for your own studio.
Here’s what your colleagues have to say
Ruth Alberici took Creativity Mentoring with me and wrote:
“I think it’s a great idea and will be well received by many piano teachers. There are so many of us who have been taught traditionally, and creative teaching or improvisation is completely out of our comfort zone.
Your teaching style is excellent — you explain everything clearly and the demonstrations are easy to see with the bird’s eye camera view. You are also a very good listener.”

Another piano teacher, Janet, wrote:
Garreth is a skilled musician and communicator and his enthusiasm for making lessons fun is infectious. We had a single Zoom session three months ago and I’m still using his ideas we worked on. I teach children ages 4-16 using the Suzuki Method.
Piano teacher Alison wrote:
Garreth was hugely helpful in my mentoring session. He listened to the tools I already use with students and helped me to adapt them to get more out of them. He made me feel very comfortable in our session, and he provided lots of ideas for additional resources, both in the session itself and in a follow-up e-mail afterwards.
Piano teacher Siân wrote:
“I found it a really helpful and inspiring session. Over the weekend I did a deep dive into the publications and broadcasts of Forrest Kinney and am now a devotee! Based on your advice and the FK resources that I now have, I’ve already made some changes to my teaching practice this week and am really pleased with the results. There’s a lot for me yet to learn but that feels exciting.”
If you’re ready to bring more creativity into your teaching, I’d love to work with you. Find out more and book your mentoring session today:
