Part Owner & Senior Teacher
Charlotte Smith
Hi my name is Charlotte, I am the part owner of Create and Make music and I also teach many instruments. I have been playing musical instruments since I was 10, starting with the piano and progressed through my grades on each of my instruments. I also teach Voice, Guitar, Ukulele, Violin and Music theory. My favourite instrument to teach is Piano but my favourite to play would have to be the Violin or Voice, I have achieved my Grade 8 in Musical theatre and my Grade 7 in Pop vocals. My music taste is all over the place from musical theatre, songs from the 80s, 200os pop etc, I really don't have a favourite genre of music. I have been teaching since I was 15 years old and started Create And Make Music to make sure that I could share my passion of music with people of all ages and levels. I beleve that music lessons should be fun and enjoyable as well as educational and that is the way we make sure all our lessons are.

Senior Teacher
Edyta Mydlowska
Hi, I'm Edyta. I am a professional pianist, piano teacher, accompanist and arranger. My focus is the aspect of the performance, learning development and progress throught a passion for music. I graduated my Master of Music degree in 2020. During all my years of studying and playing the piano, I was fortunate to win many international piano competitions, as well as play with various symphony orchestras including RSNO, Baltic Philharmonic, Scottish Sinfonia, Capella Gedanensis and Radio Gdansk Chamber Orchestra. My passion for teaching developed while participating in various masterclasses with world-famous pianists all over Europe. I believe the enthusiasm and good sense of humour helps to lead a lesson as a funny and productive experience. Although I have been trained as a classical pianist, I am a huge fan of Rock n’ Roll, Funk, Musicals and Pop music.
