What do students say about our teachers?

Daniel: "My son and I started learning together when he was just four and a half, and I was in my late thirties. Since then, we have both progressed through the ABRSM grades, him having passed grade 5 piano at the age of 11, shortly after I passed grade 4. We have both benefited from Maggie's group theory lessons, and both achieved distinctions in grade 5 theory, preparing us for future practical exams. Maggie has a superbly equipped studio, and was well-prepared for the switch to remote learning in 2020, seamlessly adapting to the circumstances and introducing creative ideas and embracing new technology where suitable. Maggie has a keen sense of how to inspire young students. The annual recitals have been a great motivator throughout our learning, and also help create a community within the student group. If you are looking for a dynamic and progressive piano tutor, with a keen interest in developing skills across all ages, then you have found the right tutor in Maggie."

Natasha: "Our son needed some extra support with GCSE music theory to help him reach his true potential. As a parent I felt that he was in safe hands right from the start; Maggie was incredibly organised and prepared to take him on and face the time constraints around exams. She did everything she possibly could to make sure he was ready. Every moment of every lesson was utilised and I ended up with a child fully prepared and ready for what was ahead. His progress was phenomenal and he is now excelling and ready for his final exam. 
Maggie has been incredible!"

UPDATE:  results out and he got a 9!  

Michelle: "My daughter has been attending online piano lessons for the past two years with Maggie; this has been her first introduction to piano playing.  She is loving every minute of it!  Recently Maggie has also been helping with filling in the gaps for GCSE music which has been really helpful with so many missed lessons at school.  Maggie makes her feel relaxed and gives her such huge encouragement that she is improving week on week.  Maggie has a very calm, soothing manner and to deal with a teenager such as my daughter I really can't recommend her enough!  Also as a novice parent to the world of music lessons, Maggie has given invaluable advice and support above and beyond the lesson times.  Thank you Maggie!"

Adam: "I am really enjoying my guitar lessons with Peter. My progress is coming along rapidly and the lessons are fun but at the same time constructive, helping me to get the most out of my music playing. Thank you Peter for your continued hard work to help me to play guitar (your practical experiences playing in a band are inspiring)!  Thank you".

Joe: "My son loves the online piano lessons with Maggie, which in itself is a vast improvement on the ones from school"...

Alison: "Maggie is great! We have had lessons to help work on both GCSE Music and piano lessons.  She is very knowledgeable and calm.  Another thing I like about Maggie is the fact that she expects good behaviour and manners. No playing the piano while she is speaking etc…!"

Linda: "I have found Maggie to be the consummate professional in her teaching.  She teaches both adults and children as well as children with special needs.  She is kind and compassionate in her dealings with all students, eager for the students to move ahead but only at their own individual pace.  Maggie maintains an energy that is always positive and productive.  Fantastic teacher to meet your needs for music of all kinds."

Ricky: "I have just completed my fourth piano lesson with Maggie and can say I am already looking forward to the next.  With a very adaptive teaching style, Maggie has much patience, especially towards an older learner like myself. I feel like I have come on leaps and bounds even in the first four lessons, though as advised by Maggie - it must be motivated, which she certainly provides.  The first lesson, as described in her bio, was spent finding out my requirements and then we were straight in to the books / basic principles. From then on, the lessons have been structured well in order to push the boundaries, yet keep it entertaining.  I also looked to purchase my own piano for 'free time' practice and Maggie was able to provide some good knowledge on what to look for.   Maggie is pretty much everything I would have asked for in a music teacher and wish I'd had someone of that calibre at school. I would definitely recommend her to other potential students, young or old."
