Why music matters
Every learner deserves a way into music.
For a child, music can become a new language: a place to think, listen, create and grow in confidence. For an adult, it can be a long-held ambition, a welcome challenge or simply time that belongs to them.
Lessons at The Music Room begin with the person, not a fixed method. We find music that sparks their interest, a pace that helps them learn and the right balance of encouragement and challenge.
Known as an individual
There is no single kind of music learner. Lessons adapt to the way each person understands, communicates and builds confidence, including younger children, neurodivergent learners and those with additional learning needs.
Music that means something
A favourite song can open the door. From there, learners discover new styles, learn how music works and develop the confidence to make it their own.
Skills that stay with them
Good tuition goes beyond learning one piece. Technique, reading, rhythm, listening and expression give learners the tools to become capable, independent musicians.
And the teacher behind the approach
Hello, I’m Rebekah.
I have played the piano since I was four and have spent 15 years learning how to bring excellent musical teaching to very different people. My training was firmly classical: ABRSM Grades 1–8 and the music theory grades, followed by DipABRSM and LRSM, with tuition from accomplished concert pianists and performance experience through my music school.
That background means learners are taught properly, with secure technique and real musical understanding. It also means I know that high standards do not require a formal or intimidating lesson. Music should be taken seriously; the learner should feel comfortable, understood and able to enjoy it.

How I teach
Lessons shaped around the learner.
No two people learn music in exactly the same way. I adapt the pace, language and structure of each lesson so that the learner can understand what they are doing and make steady progress.
The route may change, but the musical foundations do not. Technique, reading, rhythm, listening and expression are taught clearly, with expectations that suit the learner’s goals and stage of development.
Understand the learner
I consider how they process information, communicate, concentrate and respond to challenge.
Adjust the teaching
Explanations, activities and lesson structure are adapted without losing sight of the musical goal.
Build secure skills
Learners develop technique and musical understanding, rather than simply memorising which notes to play.
Measure progress personally
Success might be an examination, a performance, greater independence or simply playing with more confidence.
Learners and families
What they say about learning here.
From first lessons to examinations, scholarships and university, every learner’s musical story is different. These are some of the experiences families and learners have shared.
Rebekah supported Annabelle throughout the whole process of applying for a music scholarship. Her teaching style was brilliant and she really understood how to help Annabelle prepare, build her confidence and perform at her best.
We were absolutely delighted when Annabelle was awarded the scholarship. She is now on the scholarship programme and continues to make fantastic progress. Rebekah’s support, encouragement and teaching played a huge part in helping her achieve this.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful lessons and time over the years. I’ve really enjoyed learning piano with you and always looked forward to our lessons.
Your passion and skill have always inspired me to keep playing and improving. You are genuinely one of the best teachers I’ve ever had and definitely one of the kindest. I’m incredibly grateful for everything you’ve taught me and for helping me achieve my Grade 7.
My twins started lessons with Rebekah when they were just five years old and she played such an important part in developing their love of music. They both achieved their ABRSM Bronze Music Medals and loved playing and learning as part of a group.
Although we have since moved away, they have continued with their music and are still developing the skills and confidence that began with Rebekah.
Before finding Rebekah, Evan had tried lessons with other piano teachers but struggled to settle. As an autistic learner, finding the right approach was really important for him.
Rebekah’s patience, kindness and flexible teaching have made such a difference. She has taken the time to understand how Evan learns best. He now counts down the days until his next piano lesson each week.
I honestly dreaded GCSE Music and was originally predicted a Grade 4. Tuition with Rebekah completely changed how I felt about the subject. She made everything easier to understand and the lessons were always enjoyable, fun and engaging. I couldn’t believe it when I achieved a Grade 8!
“We were absolutely blown away when Freya opened her results. We can’t thank Rebekah enough for helping her achieve such a fantastic Grade 8.”
Freya’s mumWilliam has been learning with Rebekah since he was five. Over the years he has learnt piano, violin, singing and music theory and she has played such an important part in developing his love of music.
He is now 15 and studying GCSE Music. Music has become such a big part of his life that he hopes to become a music teacher himself one day.
Early years music
My Music & Me.
I believe a child’s relationship with music begins long before formal lessons do.
My Music & Me is my preschool music programme, created around the way young children naturally learn: through movement, singing, repetition, listening, imagination and play. Every activity is enjoyable, but it also has a musical purpose.
Early musical experiences can support pulse, listening, coordination, memory, language and confidence. Most importantly, children begin to see music as something they can join in with, explore and love.

Good to know
A few things you may be wondering.
Choosing a music teacher is personal. Here are clear answers to the questions families and adult learners most often ask before getting started.
01Who do you teach?
I teach children from the age of five, teenagers and adults. Complete beginners are very welcome, as are learners returning to music after a break or working towards advanced goals.
02What can I learn?
Piano is my principal specialism. I also teach singing, flute, violin, recorder, music theory, GCSE Music and A Level Music, alongside creative work including composing, songwriting and music production.
03Are lessons suitable for neurodivergent learners or those with additional learning needs?
Yes. I adapt the pace, language, structure and sensory demands of a lesson around the individual. The route into learning may change, but the learner still receives thoughtful, ambitious musical tuition and secure foundations.
04Are lessons at your home or online?
Both options are available. Lessons can take place at my home in Market Drayton or online, and we can discuss which format is likely to work best for the learner, their instrument and their stage of study.
05Does every learner have to take examinations?
No. Examinations can provide a useful goal, but they are not the purpose of every lesson. ABRSM is my principal exam board and every learner I have entered has passed. I can also work with other exam boards and prepare learners for performances, auditions and music scholarships.
06Which lesson length should I choose?
Twenty-minute lessons can work well for younger beginners, while 30 minutes suits many regular learners. An hour allows more time for advanced study, examination preparation or combined areas of learning. I can help you choose the most suitable starting point.
07What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson gives me time to understand the learner’s experience, interests, goals and way of learning. We will make music, establish a comfortable starting point and begin shaping a clear direction for future lessons.
08How much practice is expected between lessons?
Short, regular practice is usually more valuable than one long session. Expectations are kept realistic for the learner’s age, schedule and goals, with clear guidance and Learning Room activities available to support work between lessons.
