Testimonials

"As a senior returning to the piano after more than 40 years I felt very nervous about going for lessons again. Andrew was really nice and his encouragement gave me confidence. I now enjoy regular lessons and working towards grade 6. I feel so pleased that I took the step 4 years ago,"  June Dickinson.

"In one year my 5 and 7 year old daughters went from knowing zero about music to playing their keyboard with both hands and reading the notes," Muna.

"Andrew has been teaching our son, Matthew, how to play the piano for more than 7 years. Matthew has Down syndrome with associated learning difficulties and it was not easy to find a teacher with the necessary patience, enthusiasm and willingness to adapt to Matthew's pace. Andrew has all these skills and has proven to be an excellent teacher adapting to Matthew's learning strengths. Matthew loves his lessons and enjoys the quizzes Andrew often adds at the end of each session.

Matthew struggles to read music. Andrew uses technology to overcome this, using a memory stick with lots of favourite tunes which Matthew plays the melody to recorded backgrounds from Andrew.

During lockdown lessons have continued using Facetime, this is a highlight in Matthew's week, we too love to listen to him playing and feel very proud of what he has achieved all thanks to the dedication of Andrew.

We would very much recommend Andrew as a music teacher whatever your ability, he will make learning fun and instil you with confidence,"  Mark, Melanie and Matthew Atkinson.

"Jess has been great with our 10 year old son. We have weekly Skype lessons and she really takes his interests into account and tailors the lessons to him. She has provided music for Star Wars (as he is a fan) and provided theory exercises when he showed an interest in music theory."

"Andrew is a skillful teacher who makes piano lessons very informative, enjoyable and interesting. From not being able to read or play a note of music, I have learnt such a lot in the three years I have been having lessons with him," Anonymous, Adult Learner.

"Jessica is very professional, friendly and kind. She has continously supported my son since the lockdown and this was very important for my child's development. The lessons are such good value for money and I definitely recommend her."

"I like Andrew because he is kind and a great piano teacher. He is knowledgable , always helps me and I love learning new things from him!" Olivia Birch. Age 9.
