Some happy parents...
"Tom took his Grade 8 exam and he passed with a distinction. We're delighted! Thank you for your quality teaching to get him to this point."
"Thanks so much for all your teaching and support over the years. Joby's loved it and it's brilliant that he can play the drums now!"
"Mary is really enjoying learning to play! She practises a lot at home on the kit you recommended and clearly gets a lot of pleasure and satisfaction from drumming. We're very grateful to you for encouraging and supporting her, and after a fairly disastrous attempt at violin, it's wonderful to see her enjoying a musical instrument."
"Thank you for Louie’s excellent lessons. They're the highlight of his week."
"Your micro lesson newsletters are really helping Theo to put his drumming skills into a musical framework. It engages me too, and so I talk to him much more about music. Great work."
