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

Louise's feedback about Andromachi (Beginner Composition tuition near Manchester)

Maggie is a wonderful teacher and works in detail with me so that the theory really sticks in my mind and I will be able to apply it to my own composition work. Takes her subject very seriously, which is a necessity for any good teacher, and is very passionate about it too. Lessons are great fun!

Carole's feedback about Elizabeth (Beginner Composition tuition near Woking)

Very organised. Prompt replies to questions via email. Very friendly. My son is very happy with his new tutor

Joseph's feedback about David (Intermediate Composition tuition near Oxford)

Great teacher! Good focus on teaching a more abstract and deep understanding of composition. Better than any book can provide.

Adam's feedback about Daniel (Intermediate Composition tuition near Derby)

Daniel is excellent. Simple as that. He is friendly, approachable and very professional. He knows exactly what he is talking about regarding composition. I am an electronic music producer, and he catered to my needs perfectly and gave me a solid foundation to progress. I would recommend anyone writing electronic music to have lessons with Daniel. Although he will still be able to help with any genre.

Ileana's feedback about Phillip (Beginner Composition tuition near Croydon)

I've been studying composition with Phillip for about 10 months now. He is ***extremely*** knowledgable, good at explaining things (including answering random off-topic questions, complete with musical examples!), well-prepared, patient, encouraging, and any other quality you might wish for in a music teacher (imo)!

Clara's feedback about Ann Caroline (Beginner Composition tuition near Hampstead)

I had my first lesson with Caroline and it was absolutely awesome! She helped me SO much and I can’t wait to see her again! She is incredibly knowledgeable and kind and has a very wholistic way of teaching that will help a student in so many ways. I can recommend her to everyone because she is excellent and opened so many doors for me in just one lesson. I feel in extremely good hands and I’m looking forward to my next lesson with her!

Lef was very helpful with tutoring my son for an IB Music composition at short notice.
