Meet Serena
Piano Teacher | Diploma ABRSM
Serena Alexander is an experienced piano teacher of more than fifteen years, whose current focus is on teaching late teens, and adults and of all ages.
She holds a teaching diploma from the ABRSM, and both a First Class Honours Degree and a Masters in Music, Technology & Innovation. She is also an accomplished singer/songwriter, having reached the finals of the UK Songwriting Contest and being a close finalist in the USA's international 'Songdoor' songwriting competition in 2023.
Serena has her own dedicated teaching studio near Dumfries and delights in encouraging developing musicians to expand their musical creativity and think outside the box. Her focus is to help students develop their skills in a relaxed, creative environment.
Serena is experienced in teaching grades and exams in both theory and practise - having taught both in schools and privately for many years - although this is not a necessary focus. She encourages a holistic approach to learning, exploring different genres, composition, songwriting, and reflection on how music supports individual growth, confidence and enriches life as a whole.
Serena has an enhanced DBS check and is a member of the Musician's Union.
