ABOUT ME
Liz Walker
A bit about me and my background
I currently hold Grade 8 (Distinction) Classical Piano and DipLCM(TD) and ALCM diplomas from the London College of Music in piano teaching and music composition respectively. In addition I have Grade 6 Jazz Piano (Distinction) and Grade 6 Theory of Music (Distinction) . I have also been granted associate membership of the European Piano Teachers Association (EPTA) and hold a current DBS certificate. I have been teaching piano since 2012.
I have learnt piano as an adult (in my 30s), but have been involved with music for 30 years. I learnt clarinet at school and played with a local wind band and also a swing jazz band as well playing in the orchestra for local amateur dramatics productions. More recently I took up the flute and have now gained grade 8 in that instrument and am now trying guitar for fun.
I also enjoy singing. I have sung and written music as part of a local electro-pop group for many years and currently sing with Hall Green Choral Society and also the Fellowship Singers of Shirley for which I also hold the position of assistant Musical Director.
General background:
I am originally from Heywood in Lancashire and came to Birmingham in 1993 to study Physics at Birmingham University.
I stayed.😊
