Why Choose Layston Music?

 

At Layston Music, we believe that real-world experience, quality teaching, and a nurturing approach create the best foundation for musical growth.

​

Paul has worked in the music industry for over 20 years, touring internationally and releasing original music. His deep understanding of what it takes to be a prolific, working musician brings invaluable insight to his lessons – whether you're learning for fun or aspiring to go professional. With first-hand experience of life on the road and in the studio, Paul supports students in developing both skill and confidence.

​

Talena has also been performing live for many years, with UK and European touring with her metal band. Talena holds a BA in Popular Music & Recording and a Level 4 Diploma is Song & Sound Therapy. She brings together a wealth of knowledge from both academic study and stage experience, specialising in creative expression and developing a unique voice – whether that’s through singing, songwriting, or piano. Her teaching style is tailored, supportive, and focused on helping each student reach their personal goals.

​

We're also excited to introduce Lottie, our new apprentice teacher. A talented young musician and one of Talena’s own protégée students, Lottie will be teaching beginner piano up to Grade 1 for children aged 6–11. She brings a fresh, approachable energy to the studio and is already a hit with our younger students!

​

At Layston Music, we don’t just teach music – we live it, and we’re passionate about passing that love on to the next generation.
