“I started learning piano with Dan as an adult beginner in 2021, a little apprehensive of what to expect of myself and the lessons but on meeting Dan for the 1st time, I instantly felt comfortable and I appreciated being given the opportunity to provide input into how & what I would like to learn. Since then, every lesson has been enjoyable and motivating. He is always patient, always encouraging and the lessons always feel relaxed, that said, he is clear and instructive in his tuition also.
Would gladly recommend him.”
“From the very first session Dan put my daughter at ease. Dan ensured that she developed the knowledge but more importantly the confidence to tackle her GCSE listening exam. Dan listened to her and what she felt she needed to cover too. Dan provided extra resources to support her in between sessions. Thanks to him she achieved an A*. We would highly recommend Dan.”
“As an older student I find Dan extremely patient and always willing to try something different to keep up the enthusiasm – it’s easy to become disheartened when you aren’t progressing as well as you would like. Very professional attitude to teaching.”
“I have been having regular online piano lessons with Dan for several months. Starting as a complete beginner, I have been making steady progress under Dan’s guidance. I have found Dan to be professional, punctual, enthusiastic and, most importantly, an excellent teacher. I highly recommend his online piano lessons.”
