Jennifer Keane - Piano Tutor
Patrick Tackney - Piano Tutor
Hi, I'm Patrick Tackney, a Piano Tutor with MusicSpark. I provide lessons in your own home around the Windsor and local area, online, or a combination to of both to allow maximum flexibility to busy schedules.
I have always loved playing the piano and I enjoy playing a variety of genres including classical, pop, film music and jazz.
I started piano lessons from an early age and enjoyed the challenge of learning a new skill which balanced out my sporting activities. As a goal-oriented person, I went through the formal graded route from grades 1 to 8 and went on to achieve a distinction at grade 8.
Outside of piano teaching, my background is in sports coaching and as a qualified Rowing Coach and I have worked at various rowing clubs and schools in the Berkshire area coaching adults and juniors of all levels from complete beginners up to National Champions and crews racing at Henley Royal Regatta.
As a coach and tutor I believe that learning a new skill should be an enjoyable process and that is important to learn the basics well and have a good starting foundation to build upon. My aim as a Piano Tutor is to help students set out and achieve their piano performance goals, whether it is through the graded route, or whether it is to learn a new skill with the correct technique and fundamentals to be able to progress, develop and enjoy playing this instrument.
