From Bhavna Kapil (/5): Alicia is a very dedicated and conscience teacher. She has a great way of teaching my 2 boys who are currently preparing for their exams. I would highly recommend Alicia.
From Dillis (/5): Graham is a fantastic teacher. He is reliable, easy to get on with and very professional. I would strongly recommend him.
From Julie (/5): He has been very patient and informative. I am a complete beginer. He is encouraging . He has been good at fitting in around my timetable.
From Trish (/5): All good. Lessons going really well for my 12 year old son.
From Iain (/5): Very Patient and understanding. We have had three sessions all via zoom which has had major problems but I can't fault Graham in his encouragement. He has given me some very sound advice and pointed out issues about my playing (or rather attempting to play) which make perfect sense. I am very much looking forward to having sessions "in the flesh" because I am sure there is a lot more I can learn!
From Barbara (/5): Starting to gain confidence and feeling comfortable with new tutor.hopeful that I will be able to play again and looking forward to next lesson
From Michael (/5): Graham is a great teacher. Very knowledgeable and great at conveying ideas.
From Akosua (/5): Graham is very professional patient and friendly. My children are learning a lot from him
From Victor (/5):
From Katelyn (/5): Graham is an amazing teacher and a lovely person. I came away from my first lesson knowing so much and already being able to play a tune, looking forward to my next lesson.
From Patricia (/5): Graham is great, I enjoyed my first lesson very much. I look forward to carrying on learning with his help.
100% recommended.

From Acacia (/5): Picking up a violin again after 33 years was nerve-wracking but Graham was relaxed and put me at ease immediately. He spent the first 20 minutes fixing a few issues with my violin,but allowed my lesson to over run by 20 mins to compensate. Thoroughly looking forward to my next lesson!
From Argyro (/5): Graham is a gentleman, very patient and inspiring. He is also very generous with his time. He is able to mix ways and styles of teaching to keep a busy adult learner interested.
From Patricia (/5): Graham is encouraging and generous with his time.
From Chris (/5): Graham is a great tutor.
Kind and enthusaistic. He is observant and has a keen eye for technique but manages to stay fun and positive.
My wife and I are both adult "musicians" and Graham was great for us!

From Ayesha (/5): My daughter has been having a violin lessons with Graham for a term now and is really enjoying the lessons and making good progress.
From Guy (/5): Only had one lesson as he didn’t seem to show any interest in wanting me to come back. This presumably because I wasn’t intending on learning the traditional grading. He seemed nice just perhaps a waste of both of our times as he didn’t seem too interested in this more informal learnig. (Maybe put this on your profile)
Reply from: Graham: Thanks for the feedback although I'm quite surprised by the comments. We covered the basics of chords and you could attempt half of a song by the end of the lesson, and seemed fine throughout
I do enjoy formal and informal teaching and sorry if you have the perception of me not being interested .
You did say at the end of the lesson, you would be in touch for the next session.

From Helena (/5): Graham is an excellent teacher. He taught well to my son
From Fiona (/5): Graham sets up a relaxing environment to enjoy learning music. He encourages to be creative and experimental while still learning all about music, scales, keys and timing. I am loving my lessons.
Reply from: Graham: Thanks for the feedback. Fiona is making great progress and it is always enjoyable
From Geraldine (/5): Graham appeared for one lesson and then did not return for the next scheduled lesson. We never received an email or phone call as to why he did not show up.
Reply from: Graham: hi Geraldine Thanks for using this space to let me know and I cannot find your contact details. I have been away for the past 3 weeks with family issues. If you can contact me again I can arrange the lesson
Thanks
Graham
Thanks
Graham
I really enjoy the lessons!
