AUTHOR

Cheryl Joyce (ARCM) is a piano teacher, and lives in Maidenhead, Berkshire, with her husband and dog. Coming from a musical family she started playing the piano at age 5, taught by her mother at first, who was a pianist and piano teacher for many years. Cheryl also took up the violin and enjoyed playing in local orchestras and singing with the choral society. Although Cheryl has given piano recitals as a soloist and in ensembles, including television appearances, performing was never really for her. She prefers instead to share the gift of music by teaching, which has brought its rewards with many memorable students - children, and adults, including many taking up the piano in retirement. Some learning purely for pleasure, and others going on to take up music as a career. All the beginners have started with The C Method as their first book since its publication in 1994. Following the success of the C Method, Cheryl has been asked to write a 2nd book to follow on. It is in progress.
