Welcome to
My name is Simon Burrowes and I teach the piano to students of all ages, from beginners to an intermediate (Grade 5) level.
I would be delighted to help you to learn to play the piano, creating a course of lessons that are focused around your specific needs as a learner and the music that you are passionate about - whether that is classical, jazz or popular music.
I welcome students of all abilities, including beginner students whom I have many years experience teaching, as well as younger learners and adults.
My lessons are always enjoyable & I pride myself on teaching students a wide range of techniques as well as learning the songs they love.

I have a background in classical, pop and jazz music, so I can teach any of these genres, focussing on written music or improvisation. I have experience teaching both adults and children, complete beginners and more advanced players - ensuring that my lessons are fun and engaging for all learners.
I am able to help students interested in undertaking graded exams, as well as students who simply wish to learn for their own personal enjoyment. Whatever your aims on the piano I can help you reach that next level!
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
Check out the prices page for more information about the cost of lessons.The majority of my students take a lesson either on a weekly or a fortnightly basis. Taking consistent lessons, alongside time dedicated to practising, are two vital aspects of learning to play an instrument, especially the piano. For younger students, I have found that half hour lessons work really well.
Learn the music you love to listen to in your spare time
Know about how music is formed & how songs are formed
Learn to play in an exciting way
My lessons are focused on what a student is interested in learning, whether that is the songs of their favourite pop artist or taking graded exam pieces. I build these individually tailored lessons into a course of lessons that will ensure that a student progresses, building and strengthening their knowledge and understanding of the piano.

I am able to offer lessons from my home teaching space, located on Dunlady Road, BT16 1TT. It is a great place to learn to play the piano, with all the resources and equipment we need for our lessons.
Yes, I would be more than happy to teach you to play the piano from a beginner level right up to Grade 5. There is no prior piano playing knowledge needed before coming for your first lesson.
I teach pupils of all ages, you're certainly never too old to learn as long as you put the effort in!
I recommend purchasing a decent quality piano, which will enable you to practice the different things we go over in the lessons. Apart from that, just a good dose of enthusiasm and a willingness to learn!
I am happy to help you with any questions you might have regarding learning the piano in Belfast.
