Music School In Washington, Chester-le-Street and Gosforth

I run my own music school in Washington, Gosforth and Chester-le-Street, teaching piano/keyboard and offering the choice of individual or group lessons to children and adults.

I am an authorised Yamaha Music Learning Centre offering keyboard courses as well as the well-regarded "Alfred Piano Course." This is supplemented with music covering a wide range of styles as well as music theory.

Many of my students (aged 4-70 years) study for pleasure but are also encouraged to sit Associated Board or 'Trinity Guildhall' examinations. They also experience performing on stage in concerts in front of family and friends

I believe that learning any musical instrument should be an enjoyable and stimulating experience. Teaching in small groups encourages healthy competition and helps develop self-confidence in front of others

With over 20yrs experience, I have previously worked as a peripatetic music teacher at various primary and secondary schools. Prior to this, have lectured on music technology courses at Newcastle College.

Glad we found Ebony and Ivory!

At first I wasn't sure about group piano lessons as I was so used to the idea of the traditional 1-1 piano lessons but Sue explained to me during our initial chat on the phone that group lessons can be good for younger children as they not only help cultivate social skills but enable them to experience the joy of learning and making music together with other children so we decided to give it a go.

Sue is extremely friendly and she made sure that my little girl felt comfortable and welcomed in her first lesson. She even invited me to stay for part of the lesson. Anyway to cut a long story short, my little one came out from her first lesson with a big smile on her face and asked me if she could come back the following week so there and then we decided E&I it is and we sign her up straight away.

Let me just add that we have tried a few different music schools before Ebony and Ivory but our little one seemed to enjoy her time at E&I the best! :)

Sue is a brilliant piano teacher, she is very friendly, encouraging and patient. There’s so much choice in what you can learn which makes it a joy to be able to play. It doesn’t matter what age or level you are, Sue is able to teach you, I started as a beginner and am now preparing for my Grade 6 thanks to Sue.

Wonderful piano school

5
If you or your child is interested in playing the piano this is a perfect school. A lovely atmosphere where you or your children learn how to play piano, read music and all done in a safe environment with great teaching. I would recommend without hesitation as my child has gone from playing one finger tapping at home to grade 3 ABRSM, with the help of Ebony and Ivory School of Music (Sue Webster). The school are able to offer a group learning atmosphere or a one on one lesson, which is really wonderful at meeting your or your child needs.

Fantastic music school

5
Fantastic music school which inspires people of all ages to get involved in music by learning keyboard or piano. Fun concerts give kids the confidence to play in front of an audience and there’s so much variety in terms of what kind of music you can play - from jazz to pop to classical to Christmas carols! Lovely teaching staff and a very friendly environment!

Sue is a brilliant teacher who is always very encouraging and makes learning piano a joy. I have been playing piano for 7 years and that is because of how she made piano fun and not just a skill - from Ebony and Ivory School of Music I have gained a friend as well as a lifelong skill.
