Gemma's feedback about Patrick (Advanced Composition tuition near Bristol)

Patrick has been outstanding in the support he offered my 15 year old son. An extremely talented individual who went above and beyond with the utmost patience in helping my son understand more about composition for piano and guitar. Would highly recommend.

Sara's feedback about Derek (Advanced Composition tuition near Milton Keynes)

Amazing teacher, very knowledgeable and nice.

Alistair's feedback about Nicholas Alan (Advanced Composition tuition near Otley)

It is rather early don't you think for feedback, as I have only had 2 or 3 lessons. I have given a "rating" for what it's worth

Demi's feedback about Abigail (Advanced Composition tuition near Putney)

Abigail is very professional music tutor. I’m lucky to find her.

Neil's feedback about Frances (Advanced Composition tuition near Highbury)

I'm an older person who has been studying grade music 6-8 theory, and wanted some support in developing small complete compositions to embed the theory, move beyond the fragments of composition in the grades, and enjoy developing my own pieces and style. Frances is professional, highly knowledgeable and competent, very encouraging, and has created a programme that adapts to my abilities and wishes. I like the idea of learning within the traditions of different historical periods, and she has embraced that with me, and I gather other people have very different aims, and so have a different programme. We have online lessons which work very well (I live the other side of the country), after which she offers me a mix of short and open-ended exercises, that I can adapt to my interests and time available. She's introduced me to ideas and genres that were completely new to me and a lot of fun. My sense is that she is keeping an eye on what I find easy and hard, and adapting to that. I like that she pushes me to tidy up and finish pieces. It's all immensely enjoyable, and I've produced things that I wouldn't have imagined when I started.

Jacob's feedback about Ignacio (Advanced Composition tuition near Norwich)

Very knowledgeable, kind and flexible teacher based on my experience with him so far. Immediately Ignacio realised and understood my desire to progress and learn as much as possible as quick as possible, being an older student who has been pursuing a career in music for a long time. Ignacio has quickly identified areas I've been lacking during my studies that other teachers haven't ever addressed or covered and has offered me a combined teaching approach that, for the first time in my life, is seeing me taught my instrument (piano), composition actually at the instrument (instead of just on a computer software) and composition that is much more focused on the bringing the creative, practical side up to the knowledge side that I have been taught. Add in that Ignacio has been extremely welcoming with both his time and home and that he has been very understandable and flexible during a stressful time in my life that sees me often requesting changes of days and I am most happy that I kept looking until I found his profile. Would highly recommend.

Bettina's feedback about Phillip (Advanced Composition tuition near Kensington)

Very inspirational and knowledge teacher. He was able to make my daughter improve dramatically in her composition skills till achieving the best mark in GCSE. I would definitely recommend him.

Daniel's feedback about Andrew (Advanced Composition tuition near Sunbury-on-Thames)

Andrew is a pleasure to work with. He is reliable, friendly and very professional in his trade. I would personally review him highly to any interested parties.

Amanda's feedback about Matthew (Advanced Composition tuition near Henley-on-Thames)

Matt is really super. He was so helpful with GCSE music composition, and very reassuring and kind. The sessions went really well and I can’t rate him highly enough

Peter's feedback about Elizabeth (Advanced Composition tuition near Aldershot)

I have been delighted with the support given to me by Elizabeth in developing my skills in music composition. Not only has she made me think about a wide range of issues that I had not previously considered, but she has also given me the motivation and confidence to explore new areas. As well as her face to face assistance, her email support has been invaluable.
