Mohan Evans Group Piano Teacher

I am a music artist, singer songwriter, multi instrumentalist and music producer, with extensive experience in music and the music industry. Having an introduction into music through the record industry and working as a music artist, songwriter and producer within the pop industry, I have spent my career to date developing a strong work ethic to the makings of quality, authentic songs and records. Coming from a family of musicians in pop music, notably Joe Brown MBE (Grandfather), and Sam Brown (Mother), I can say proudly I feel I have been given a great insight into the workings of musicianship and the music industry across my life. Other than my own music project, my largest passion is working with others to help develop their practice and knowledge within music. Whether it be on the piano, music production skills, theory knowledge or the workings of the music industry. Over the years of teaching, the fulfilment I have received from witnessing my students development, has inspired me to make teaching an important part of my output. As a piano teacher with WeKey it is my goal to help facilitate a safe, and fun space for my students to flourish in their musical learning, self expression, and their overall confidence.
