Allegrando Piano Lessons

Katya is an excellent piano tutor. She’s patient, diligent and committed to supporting children to grow in confidence as well as competence. The opportunity to perform in concerts that she organises annually are an added bonus and really help with getting used to playing in front of others. I wish I’d had an instructor like her as a child!
