Michael's feedback about Robert (Beginner Composition tuition near Edinburgh)

Really good and knowledgeable tutor. Adapts the lessons to your level and your needs.

Paul's feedback about Will (Beginner Composition tuition near Cambridge)

Will has been the answer to a prayer, if I can put it like that. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but also patient and willing to explain everything that must be second nature to him but not to someone like me who has had no formal musical education but is eager to make up for lost time. he is also reliable and excellent with communication so we both know exactly when the next lesson will be and he gives detailed feedback by email when i need it - which is just as important as being there on the day for the lesson. An excellent tutor.

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.

Lorraine's feedback about Adam (Casual Composition tuition near Wantage)

Adam is a conscientious teacher who works methodically in a professional manner. He gave me confidence after just one lesson and really knows his stuff. If you want to learn composition and music theory Adam can make you understand with ease areas of music which previously seems inaccessible.

Michael's feedback about Phillip (Advanced Composition tuition near Peckham)

I have been working with Phillip for around 4 months now. Our sessions focus on the relationship between music and text in theatre. He is very dedicated, with inspiring energy and a wide range of musical styles he draws on for our lessons. His response to my work is perceptive and quick, and he clearly has a comprehensive training behind him. He also has the bonus of fastidious organisation, prompt replies to emails and punctuality. I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to take serious steps forward in musical ability.

Dami's feedback about Phillip (Advanced Composition tuition near Highgate)

Amazing tutor. He makes the lesson very interesting as well as captivating. I am looking forward to more lessons from him as within 2 weeks I have improved vastly.

Matthew's feedback about Richard (Advanced Composition tuition near Southwell)

Richard has been a great help to our daughter in understanding the rules of composition. He has set her useful challenges each week that have supported the theory and improved her overall understanding of the styles and techniques of composition. We have found him to be very knowledgeable but also patient and understanding, so an excellent tutor.
