Lana Bode
I have studied music at the Royal Academy of Music, and obtained my BMus from Indiana University. I have been teaching piano for the past 11 years, over the course of which I've taught a wide range of students (both children and adults, and from a very beginning level to beyond grade 8). In addition to private teaching, I am on staff as a piano teacher at The Gower School and the Ealing Junior Music School.
My teaching philosophy is to help my students develop their talent as much as possible, whether they want music to be a lifelong hobby or a potential future profession. I believe in striving for perfection, down to the smallest details, while maintaining a positive encouraging atmosphere to stimulate musical growth.
I offer a free consultation lesson, after which a suitable weekly lesson time would be scheduled. Most lessons take place at my flat (5 minutes walk from Kings Cross station), where I have a grand piano. For a small additional fee, I can travel to the student's home for the weekly lesson.

THE SMALL PRINT
One free consultation lesson will be offered before beginning regular lessons. If this lesson is held at the student's home, a small transportation fee will be charged.
Tuition should be paid in cash whenever possible.
Excepting short-term students for exam preparation, a minimum of forty lessons will take place each calendar year, allowing a maximum of twelve weeks of holiday. If more than twelve weeks of holiday are required, the missed lessons must be rescheduled before or after holiday. At the beginning of each month, the student (or parent of a minor) must notify me of any holidays or desired changes in the weekly lesson schedule.
If the student becomes sick or, because of an emergency, cannot come to a scheduled lesson, I must receive notice by 9:00 AM the day of the lesson. The lesson will be rescheduled unless the student fails to give proper notice, in which case the lesson may be forfeited without refund.
For lessons taking place at my residence, it is the student’s responsibility to arrive on time. If a student arrives late for any reason, the lesson may still be concluded at the scheduled time.
It is the student’s responsibility to purchase all music books and practice supplies, pay exam/competition fees, and set aside time for daily practice.
