Dominique's feedback about Phillip (Beginner Composition tuition near Paddington)

Phillip is a great teacher who takes the time to explain each concept. He created a bespoke lesson based on what I needed and was searching for. After only a few weeks, I could see significant results. I will continue with our lessons every week.

Margaret's feedback about Anna (Beginner Composition tuition near Monmouth)

Really enjoying my theory and composition lessons with Anna. She is friendly, approachable and explains things well. She is going at a comfortable pace to suit me. Anna is set up for teaching on zoom with music related apps which allow her to show me and demonstrate during our lesson. I highly recommend her.

Ian's feedback about Robert (Beginner Composition tuition near Edinburgh)

Robert is an excellent musician and understands the needs of his students regardless of their level.

Louise's feedback about Andromachi (Beginner Composition tuition near Manchester)

Maggie is a wonderful teacher and works in detail with me so that the theory really sticks in my mind and I will be able to apply it to my own composition work. Takes her subject very seriously, which is a necessity for any good teacher, and is very passionate about it too. Lessons are great fun!

Carole's feedback about Elizabeth (Beginner Composition tuition near Woking)

Very organised. Prompt replies to questions via email. Very friendly. My son is very happy with his new tutor

Ileana's feedback about Phillip (Beginner Composition tuition near Croydon)

I've been studying composition with Phillip for about 10 months now. He is ***extremely*** knowledgable, good at explaining things (including answering random off-topic questions, complete with musical examples!), well-prepared, patient, encouraging, and any other quality you might wish for in a music teacher (imo)!

Clara's feedback about Ann Caroline (Beginner Composition tuition near Hampstead)

I had my first lesson with Caroline and it was absolutely awesome! She helped me SO much and I can’t wait to see her again! She is incredibly knowledgeable and kind and has a very wholistic way of teaching that will help a student in so many ways. I can recommend her to everyone because she is excellent and opened so many doors for me in just one lesson. I feel in extremely good hands and I’m looking forward to my next lesson with her!

James's feedback about Lef (Beginner Composition tuition near Virginia Water)

Lef was very helpful with tutoring my son for an IB Music composition at short notice.

Michael's feedback about Robert (Beginner Composition tuition near Edinburgh)

Really good and knowledgeable tutor. Adapts the lessons to your level and your needs.

Paul's feedback about Will (Beginner Composition tuition near Cambridge)

Will has been the answer to a prayer, if I can put it like that. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but also patient and willing to explain everything that must be second nature to him but not to someone like me who has had no formal musical education but is eager to make up for lost time. he is also reliable and excellent with communication so we both know exactly when the next lesson will be and he gives detailed feedback by email when i need it - which is just as important as being there on the day for the lesson. An excellent tutor.
