From Fiona (/5): After playing the fiddle for four years I felt I needed help with my technique, so far I've had two lessons with Scott and I notice an improvement in my playing already. He has an enormous amount of patience and takes time to explain in detail different ways to improve tone, timing etc. He totally understands the difficulties I have and explains thoroughly how to overcome them. The emails he sends after each lesson are really helpful reminders of what we have covered and again, every detail is explained thoroughly.
I can highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a violin/fiddle teacher! :-)

From Will (/5): Scott has the three necessary attributes to qualify for being described as a Tutor/Instructor.
Firstly, it may seem as though this is stating the obvious but Scott knows his subject. Not all who set-up as tutors in various fields have the advanced level of knowledge to instruct others. Secondly, he has the 'consultant' approach in that he doesn't have the 'one size fits all' mentality. He treats people as individuals and 'prescribes', in the manner of a consultant, the appropriate course of action to help the student to achieve his goals. Thirdly, he is an effective 'transceiver' in that he has good listening skills to receive information and good communication skills to transmit to the student his thoughts and instructions.
Oh, and he has a pretty good sense of humour. Who was it that said Canadians don't laugh?

From Gayle (/5): Iām really happy that we have found a tutor like Scott. My first impression of him was that he was very pleasant, easy to talk to and quite relaxed. My daughter really enjoys her weekly lessons and is learning new tunes almost every week. I think that if you have a good teacher, it makes learning easier and really enjoyable, which I believe is key. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone wanting to learn violin.
From Yasemin (/5): Scott is the best violin tutor I could possibly have asked for - I learn a new song every lesson, and can progress even without knowing how to read sheet music! Learning how to play by ear has allowed me to improve the quality of my playing, meaning I improve faster! The emails sent after each lesson are awesome, and serve as a recap of what was taught, goals to meet in time for the next lesson (i.e. practicing a new song), and critique to help improve playing! DEFINITELY recommend, you won't be sorry!
From Sarah (/5): I love Scott's teaching style, how he really helps you explore the instrument and develop an ear, and his passion for music. Great teacher, highly recommend anyone to book their first lesson with him.
From Collette (/5): Scott has inspired my 14 yr old teen to play violin again. Boys tend to shy away from music at this stage of development but thankfully Scott is a natural. He has made progress with my 11 yr old boy also. He is for sure the best teacher they have had. A gem of a find. Lucky me!
