About Ron

Grade eight pianist who will lend his hand to anything and specialises in sight-reading!

Pianist

London

I first started playing the piano when I was six, and never really stopped. I took grade five before I started secondary school and passed grade eight aged 16, having loved every minute of the ten years on the stool to that point. I love the way you can lose yourself while playing, how much most people love hearing a piano and the joy of being able to pretend I sound like my favourite musicians! I have a small amount of experience playing the church organ. I specialise in sight-reading and playing by ear. I've listed some of the sorts of things I can play below, but I can pick anything up quickly so if it's not there, drop me a message!

Ron's Reviews

Thank you for coming to the care home to play for the residents. They really enjoyed your playing and asked if you were coming to be the resident pianist

Ron joined us for a number of public concerts and slotted in well, playing confidently from sight in an hour-long set.
