Unlocking Unique Potential for Every Neurodiverse Piano Student
Watch Them Thrive
As the mother of a wonderful neurodiverse daughter, I know the journey of finding activities that truly connect. I’ve dedicated my 25-year career to specialising in teaching piano to neurodiverse children, and I’ve seen first hand how music can unlock potential. This course is my mission: to empower you, as a parent, to watch your child not just learn an instrument, but truly thrive. Let’s begin this rewarding journey together.“
“I am so impressed by how thoughtfully this program is designed. The gentle, step-by-step technique removes all the pressure, making learning feel safe and achievable. My daughter has blossomed, confidently playing songs and even improvising her own melodies. It’s more than just music; it’s a newfound confidence. We are thrilled to have finally found the right fit for our family.”
Angela –“From a mum who is thrilled her daughter’s ‘screen time’ now has a beautiful soundtrack.”

Keys to Knowledge
Through the engaging process of learning the piano, students build a deep understanding of musical concepts while gaining valuable knowledge and cognitive skills.
A Different Approach to Music
I believe every child deserves a music education that understands and adapts to them, not the other way around. I created Piano for Autism for that very reason: to be a place where our children are given a patient, joyful, and supportive path to becoming confident pianists and musicians
Kids
Building Confidence, One Note at a Time
I’ve carefully designed every lesson to be short, clear, and easy to follow. This step-by-step approach ensures your child can learn at their own pace, so progress feels like an exciting accomplishment, not a frustrating struggle. With each module they complete, they’ll earn a certificate to celebrate their success, building not just their musical skills, but their confidence too.
