Southport Piano Academy has experienced rapid growth since Covid struck.

They are expanding their services to include a wide variety of instruments.

The latest is violin lessons with their newest teacher Daniel Kirk.

From 2013 Southport Piano Academy was solely piano lessons until 2020 when singing lessons were added and following that they have also added guitar, bass, drums, organ, keyboard, flute and clarinet.

“Adding violin to our repertoire of teachers is a welcome move because many children are now learning a perepertetic instrument in school and also there are not many violin teachers around so we hope this will prove popular” says owner, Claire Kelly.

The academy raised £500 in their Xmas music concert which they donated to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Here is a little bit about Daniel.



It is with great pleasure we introduce our newest talent to the team- Daniel Kirk who is an exceptional young talented Violinist, teaching:
Teaching:

• beginners & intermediate violin

“Hi I’m Daniel , I hope to help younger beginners of violin and intermediate level players to exceed and improve their playing ability; getting them to a good standard.I also love helping young children flourish in their singing ability.”

Daniel is a very talented Grade 7 violinist, receiving many distinctions along the way. Daniel played in an orchestra in Southport and toured many countries around the world playing both classical and folk at festivals, in arenas and on large stages, in front of thousands.

Daniel first began teaching the violin basics as a child, to family friends. Once in high school he taught some of the younger students violin tips to become better. Now as an adult, He is very good with children and he has previously been a scouts, beavers and cubs leader.

Daniel is also a talented singer as a baritone. At High school, Daniel was part of the prestigious ‘Mundo Africa’ choir (singing bass and tenor), which is one of the U.K’s best school choirs.

Daniel has performed with Mundo Africa at the Educate Awards, the Albert hall and also several philharmonics. He has also sang in countless churches and cathedrals; performing in the Alder service in Liverpool cathedral. Daniel can also offer Childrens’ singing lessons as well as GCSE music help to any age, as fully understands the GCSE music course.

When Daniel isn’t teaching and studying he has fun improvising and learning contemporary music on the violin. As he has an exceptional natural ability to play violin by ear, he can play anything.

Daniel teaches from his home studio in Birkdale.
