Rebekah's feedback about Robert (Beginner Piano tuition near Edinburgh)

Contact was easy, getting a date that worked for everyone was quick and very pleased with our lessons so far. Pitched well for the two different ages of my children and would highly recommend.

Sofia's feedback about Andy (Beginner Piano tuition near Edinburgh)

Really helpful teacher and good tips given every week.

Joan's feedback about Stewart (Beginner Saxophone tuition near Edinburgh)

Stewart is an excellent tutor and we feel very fortunate to have him teach our grandson. They are getting along famously and have a very good rapport. Stewart has a brilliant way of teaching that engages and makes learning fun. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Dan's feedback about Roxanne (Beginner Saxophone tuition near Edinburgh)

2 lessons with Roxanne and she is definitely inspiring me to "do better". Lovely person as well.

Andrew's feedback about Jean (Expert Flute tuition near Edinburgh)

Jean was amazing in helping me prepare for an audition, thank you!!

Mark's feedback about Keisuke (Beginner Bass Guitar tuition near Edinburgh)

I'm really enjoying Keisuke’s lessons. As a total beginner I appreciate his style of teaching - methodical and well rounded. He blends theory with practice but also incorporates songs you like into the lessons, which I didn't expect learning at my level. Another great thing is that he collates and shares teaching materials online and sends me reminders about the lessons. We're trying to do a blend of online and in person lessons and his patience and help in getting the bass set and PC audio setup have been invaluable. He's also made me a playlist of songs I might like, which was very sweet (and did have cool songs on it)! I'm looking forward to learning more.

Vera's feedback about Julian (Intermediate Piano tuition near Edinburgh)

Julian is a kind and very helpful music teacher for my teenage son. According to my son, Julian has an excellent attention to detail, both in the music and on technique, and helped him to correct old habits in his play. The practice pieces he recommends are very good fit to his level and fun to play.

Maitri's feedback about Violetta (Beginner Cello tuition near Edinburgh)

I have had a few lessons now with Violetta. She is teaching me both piano and cello and I am really enjoying our lessons. Online works really well and she is very responsive in between lessons for any queries or questions. I would highly recommend her. Maitri

Carolina's feedback about Georgia (Beginner Saxophone tuition near Edinburgh)

She is amazing as a teacher, patient and methodic.

Deborah's feedback about Pete (Beginner Piano tuition near Edinburgh)

I have been having piano lessons with Pete for a few weeks now and have enjoyed every one of them. I started as a novice and appreciate that Pete takes time to explain things in a variety of ways that makes things very clear. He is very patient and makes the lessons fun so that its unbelievable how quickly the time passes. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a piano tutor.
