Together we can work at a pace that is specialised for each individual, working on the areas that they choose, whether theory or practical to ensure that you enjoy your time with me.

Some of our Tuition Services

Piano tuition

This is classical training with a bit of jazz for those who like it. The sitting of exams is purely optional. I encourage it but have many pupils that wouldn’t even consider it. I use the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. Also any preparation and help needed for school Standard and Higher grades can be catered for. These lessons are generally 30mins.

Keyboard tuition

Purpose built in 2005 as an additional option to the piano and theory tuition, the keyboard classroom has proved to be very popular. The lessons are hourly and in groups of 4. Everyone wears headphones (including me) so no performing in front of the class ever needs to take place, and any level can be catered for at the same time. Preparation for school Standard and Higher grades, and also the less formal London College of Music ‘Leisure Play’ exams can be done here.

Music tuition

Have you ever wondered why a piece of music sounds the way it does? Are you learning an instrument and want to know more about how the music you play was written? Perhaps you have completed grade 5 on an instrument and need theory knowledge to move on. All these topics can be covered here. Exams and tutor books from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.

"What do you say about Zoe Cox and the keyboard cabin?
well I'll start with the facts, Zoe took a boy who had been playing keyboard from the age of 7 till 10 then fell out of love with music for 18 months not even looking at his keyboard and in the space of an hour gave him structure, boundaries, knowledge and best of all inspiration! My son attends for 2hrs a week in one go and cannot get out of the car fast enough when we arrive outside"the cabin". Always last out of the class he respects Zoe's knowledge and soaks up her words like a hoover, thanks to Zoe he is flying through the grades both practical and theoretical and has been guided, again by Zoe 1st towards the Cello and latterly the Oboe. Where did all my spare time go? Thanks Zoe you have helped to mould a fine young man! "

"I attended piano lessons when I was very young and unfortunately didn't keep them up. I decided last year to try keyboard lessons and phoned the Keyboard Cabin for information. Zoe was very helpful when I phoned and soon I had booked my first lesson. I have never looked back since. I thoroughly enjoy the classes .Zoe is great fun and makes the lesson enjoyable. The hour passes very quickly. The class members are all at "a certain age" which goes to show that you are never too old to learn. Zoe even took the time to give me lessons at home when I was recovering from my operation and for this I thank you Zoe. I would recommend Zoe to anyone of any age. Come along, it's great fun."
Irene Cameron,

"Everyone should be learn to play a musical instrument and, for me, learning to play the piano has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. It is much more than a skill or an art form, it is therapy: a way of coping with the stresses which are an inevitable part of everyday life. Of course, good teachers are like gold dust but I can honestly say that Zoe is the best: encouraging, supportive and fun. Donʼt hesitate - sign up for your first lesson today - whatever your age or ability - you won't regret it!"

"My earliest memory of receiving training in music as a child was of being received by a stern 70 something witch who complained shrilly every time I made a mistake or took time to understand her instructions! Getting a good teacher can be hit and miss as there are many out there that really know their music but can`t teach. Not so Zoe Cox and Keyboard Cabin! Here we have a gifted tutor and well run classes. Three of my children have benefitted from her tutorage - they enjoy their lessons and want to do well for themselves because Mrs Cox makes them feel good about learning to play the piano. Over several years now they have done more than I expected and this is down to excellent teaching skills. I would not hesitate to recommend Keyboard Cabin to all, young and "not so young". High quality tutoring and great value for money"
Nino DelRio,

"I started at keyboard cabin last September to complete 12 months of my skills for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. 13 months on and I'm still there! I've always wanted to play an instrument, but I have quite a short attention span sometimes and end up getting bored. When I came to the Keyboard Cabin I was worried it would be like the keyboard lessons I had when I was younger, where I sat in a ladies living room and tried to play while she went off and had a cup of tea, but I really enjoyed it. It has a good atmosphere and a friendly teacher. Zoe's a great teacher, she's helpful, kind and we have some good laughs. I would recommend it to anybody who wants to pick up the keyboard or who just wants to try something new."

"I have tried so many time to learn the keyboard, that I put it away in a cupboard and forgot it, a few months ago a friend suggested that I contact a Mrs Zoe Cox for keyboard lessons. Eventually I did so, and how I wish that I had known her all those years ago. I started with one of her classes and it has been a revelation to me. I am coming on by leaps and bounds. I am so enjoying learning with her. At my age of 74 I really did not think that I could learn so quickly. I am already booking my concert tour.(!!!) Thank you Zoe for the pleasure you have helped me to achieve."
Gordon Cotter,

"Still going to Zoe Cox's Cabin. Still the best move I ever made. Can now read music, Still not up to concert stage yet, but I now play for family and friends. Still wish that I had found Zoe much, much earlier. Met some nice people at Zoe's, who I now consider as friends. Zoe's method of teaching really works. I strongly recommend her to anyone, who wants to experience the pleasure of playing competently, and very reasonably priced too."
