Georges Sokol

Fully qualified (BA Oxon MA ARCM) with 8 years of teaching experience. Full Member of the European Piano Teachers Association. Oxford University Music graduate Registered with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music as an Examination Applicant.

I teach students of all ages and abilities. Whether you want to learn for fun, or want to prepare for a concert or an exam, my aim is to help you achieve your potential by teaching you the proper technique and learning material best suited to you.

My teaching philosophy is as follows:

My Primary Goals

• I teach students how to learn.
• I match my teaching to the student's learning style (and not the other way round).
• I motivate my students by empowering them and introducing possibilities

My Interaction with Students

• I will never be angry if you make a mistake.
• I will never be angry if you ask a question.
• I will only be upset if you do not try. If you do not try, I cannot teach you.
• If you do not understand, it is my fault, not yours.

My Foundations

• Piano lessons should be fun.
• Trying is often more important than succeeding.
• Piano study is not always going to be easy, but it should be satisfying.
• Exploration and creativity is encouraged.
