Piano lessons in Derby...
My name is Dom Scohy.
I have 20 years of teaching experience, & have been performing for 15 years. I'm from Belgium & the son of an international opera singer. I started my first piano lessons at the age of 3 years old, & achieved a music theory & piano diploma at the Academy of Auderghem at 16. I then studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Brussels.
I have more than 20 years of international teaching experience between Belgium, France, and the UK.
In Derbyshire, I have previously taught lesson(s) at Foulds/Forte music school, & Derby school of music. I have also composed music for shows in Brussels.
I am very passionate & enthusiastic. I am very comfortable with classical, jazz & pop. I teach theory individually or in very didactic & fun group lessons. In my spare time, I am the keys player of the Derby-based jazz/funk band Oobleck.
Piano tuition is like learning a poem in Japanese because it sounds beautiful & is great, but understanding what you are saying is even better - I will help you understand music entirely. I have students from Allestree, Mickleover,
Littleover, Belper, see my testimonials here. I have been DBS checked. Contact me for your first piano lesson, near Mackworth in Derby - contact me now!
My testimonials from my Derby students (Google reviews)
Dom is super talented and so passionate about music and is a great teacher. He won’t just teach you how to read music and play, but how to understand and interpret music. His enthusiasm is infectious and his pupils love his lessons. He’s also a lovely guy. My daughter really enjoys her lessons. I would recommend him to anyone. Sarah Reid
11/09/2018- Great piano teacher. My son enjoys his lessons which are challenging and helpful to him developing his ability. Recommended as a piano teacher. Michelle Mackervoy
11/07/2018 - Dom is a fantastic piano teacher! It has been two years since I started to learn piano with him, and it has been a great experience so far. I feel very supported in my practise, and I have discovered an amazing world through the theory and practise I was not aware of! My partner is also learning with Dom, and it's great to see how Dom tailors the lessons to each individual, so the work is really focused on what you need the most. Olivier R
11/03/2018 - Dom is a fantastic piano teacher! We were very lucky to find him two years ago, and have been having weekly piano and music lessons from him ever since. Complete beginners, Dom has been very patient and encouraging all the way through. I cannot believe we are now considering piano exams and playing Bach! We really enjoy his teaching style, and are very grateful to Dom for opening up the music world to us. Eduardo Villatoro
11/03/2018 - Dom is a fantastic piano teacher. He has a real passion for music and is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced with all styles. He has been teaching my two teenage boys for 3 or 4 months and has already re-ignited their interest and they are enjoying their lessons again. He knows exactly what music they will like, and his enthusiasm is brilliant! His teaching is easy going and relaxed, and he is always positive and encouraging. I am really pleased we found him – thank you Dom! Joanne Ip

We had to work on poly-rhythm which basically means that the group of approximately 15 teens were divided in different groups, and played all together with rhythms. Like a drums orchestra.
