ABOUT JANE

MY APPROACH

Hello, I am Jane Arrowsmith, founder of Arrowsmith Piano. I use a customized approach that ensures each lesson is tailored to your specific learning style. This makes it easy and efficient to learn new concepts while keeping the lesson fun for you!

​

I’ve been teaching for 35 years and I like to steer my teaching business in the direction of what is working best for my students’ learning process. My teaching style is the same in-studio or online.

​

I provide extensive feedback and optimization of your playing sound, for a variety of musical styles, including Classical, 20th Century, Pop & Rock, Jazz, and Sacred music.
