Lucinda Mackworth-Young is an inspirational international lecturer, pianist and piano teacher, whose work is informed by her life's themes: music, dance, psychology, intuition, empathy and alignment. Lucinda helps people learn to recognise and follow their own inner guidance, and have unerring faith in their ability to achieve the goals that inspire and excite them. She gives piano lessons to adult beginners, re-starters and enthusiasts, helping them play the music that they love and long to play. She also teaches piano teachers, helping them develop both teaching and performing. Passionate about helping teachers teach in the way that their pupils and students want to learn, Lucinda directed The Piano Teachers' Course UK from 2007-2020, and now, as International Director and Founder of The Piano Teachers' Course Trust, she continues to be closely associated with the UK course while also working with piano teachers internationally, giving lectures, workshops and tutorials to help inspire and develop piano teaching across the globe. One of her specialties is to teach everyone to play by ear and improvise, spontaneously, anytime, anywhere, whatever their musical experience.
