Grimsby Pays Tribute to Award Winning Pianist Janet Warmoth

Janet Warmoth lived a very full life. Her family remembers her many talents. Janet was born Janet Cotterill in 1932. She died on February 16th at age 92. Her dad thought she was adorable and strong.

Her parents encouraged Janet’s love for swimming because they lived in Grimsby near Cleethorpes beach. The family had a chalet there too. Janet went to Wintringham Grammar School where she loved English, French, and playing piano.

Math was not her favorite subject at all; however, she practiced piano three hours daily. At 15, Janet earned a music scholarship and moved to London’s Royal Academy of Music. She performed professionally after graduating at 20.

Her professor said she had a special gift, and Janet even recorded music for the BBC. She performed at prestigious London venues. In 1954, Janet married Stanley Warmoth, who taught science in Cleethorpes and later advised the county on science.

They had three sons: Tim, Chris, and Paul. Janet and Stanley eventually separated. She had another child, Pip, later on. Teaching became Janet’s main focus; she taught for over 70 years.

Her last piano lesson was in 2022 at 89. She greatly impacted people in her community because Janet truly wanted her pupils to succeed. The Bradley Festival gave her a lifetime award. Her grandchildren remember her dedication.

They loved how she nourished their music skills. Grandma taught them piano every week, and they looked forward to her visits. She always brought chocolate, which made piano lessons fun for them.

They now appreciate her hard work more. She took a long train to teach them piano, then returned early the next morning. Her dedication to them was extraordinary. No one could find a better teacher.

Her other grandchildren also shared memories. They knew she was a remarkable person who helped them succeed in music. They cherished time spent with her. She even encouraged their horse riding. Everyone knew her at the school, since she drove a cool car, and her generosity always inspired them.
