About us
Surrey Music School is run by Caroline Blount a qualified piano teacher with over 14 years of teaching experience.
Caroline set up Surrey Music School to give children the opportunity to learn all the skills needed to be a good musician, not just the reading ones.
She is passionate to ensure that children have the opportunity to learn in this different, inspiring way, so that they love music and playing piano. She values open communication and is extremely responsive to feedback from parents and children. She will always adapt her teaching to ensure the children are enjoying their learning.
In 2005 she passed the DipABRSM in Piano Perfoming. In the same year she enrolled on the Mtpp - Music Teaching in Professional Practice (a post graduate diploma in piano teaching) at Reading University. Two years later she graduated with distinction. She has also attended Kodaly and Dalcroze summer schools.
Caroline is continually pushing the boundaries of what piano teaching is and how she can deliver lessons that really capture children's imagination and engage them. She undertakes ongoing professional development via The Curious Piano Teachers who provide monthly online training and so is continually finding fresh, inspiring approaches to teaching music and the piano.
Caroline also set up and helps run Surrey Piano Players, a group for adult pianists of any level to gain performance experience and meet fellow pianists. It meets once a month at the Guildford Institute.
Caroline has an enhanced DBS certificate.
