Testimonials
“Guy brought energy, passion and, of course, bags of expertise to age and talent level appropriate home lessons. He sparked interest and helped my daughter progress quickly in her discovery of the piano, with the right balance of professionalism and friendship needed for a twelve year old. Truly highly recommended.”
Paul Bland, Parent
“Lessons with Guy were great fun. He would always find new musical materials and resources to get me thinking outside the box, keeping me inspired and engaged. Guy is an incredibly patient teacher with an encouraging sense of humour, especially during rehearsal sessions. His endless musical innovation constantly generates improvement, and, as a result, I am a better musician having studied with Guy.”
