Jill Morton

Jill Morton is a distinguished pianist, educator, and chamber musician, recognised for both her dynamic performances and her dedication to piano pedagogy. A graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Jill’s studies there were generously supported by the Sir James Caird Trust and the Countess of Munster Musical Trust. As part of the Munster Trust’s Recital Scheme, she performed regularly as a soloist and chamber musician for music societies across the UK. Subsequent to this, she was invited to be Pianist in Residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta, Canada for one of their career development residencies. This experience firmly cemented her love for chamber music.

An accomplished performer, Jill has also appeared as a concerto soloist with orchestras throughout Britain and has been heard on BBC Radio’s ‘Friday Night is Music Night’ as soloist with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Beyond performance, Jill is a dedicated educator, serving as a Principal Tutor for the Piano Teachers’ Course UK, the country’s leading pedagogical programme, where she delivers lectures and mentors both aspiring and experienced piano teachers. Her expertise is widely sought after, and she is frequently invited to give masterclasses and adjudicate competitions. She is also a tutor at the Summer School for Pianists and Pianissimi.

Jill has a popular YouTube channel featuring repertoire from the ABRSM and Trinity graded music syllabuses, as well as other piano repertoire, and has currently received over 2.8 million views. Jill also teaches at the Perse School in Cambridge and is the founder of ‘Encore! Concerts for All, Big and Small’, a concert series designed to introduce preschool children and their carers to the excitement of live music.
