Testimonials
"Thank you so much for teaching me my Grade 5 piano. I now have so many more opportunities."
Kim, 16 - Piano
"Our son, aged 6, has been going to Dan for piano lessons for about 8 months and he thoroughly enjoys it. Dan encourages him to learn at his own pace in a friendly environment."
Lucy (on behalf of Oliver, 6) - Piano
"Dan is an excellent piano teacher. He's a very talented pianist and able to tailor lessons to suit my goals. He went out of his way to find exactly the type of music I wanted to learn, at a level I could access. He combines great repertoire with brilliant exercises that help me build good technique and a firm knowledge of music. His feedback is always encouraging and helps me improve."
Robin, 21 - Piano
"Dan is an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher who pitches his instruction at just the right level. He has a patient and positive way of teaching and has passed on his passion for music to our son, who now prefers to play his bass guitar rather than video games!"
Craig and Sharon (on behalf of Callum, 13) - Bass
"I'd never played a musical instrument in my life, and with my 50th birthday looming I had a dream of playing a live gig. After lessons with Dan I'm now looking forward to realising that dream, playing bass with my band. The experienced musicians in the band have been very impressed at my progress whilst under tuition. Dan is a great teacher and has taught me different styles from rock to reggae!"
Tim Harrison, 50 - Bass
"From a list of teachers in my area, Dan sounded the most friendly and approachable on the telephone. Since I started lessons, he has offered encouragement, variety and kept me interested in learning the guitar. I recommend him as a teacher, as you will be taught in a laid back manner, and one that is tailored to your specific musical interest."
Chris, 29 - Guitar
"Dan's approach to teaching is relaxed, enjoyable and rewarding. He is an accomplished musician and frustratingly good on the bass! I am very happy to have found someone who enjoys playing and teaching the music I like. I would recommend him to anyone and my advice is if you have been thinking of learning to play, DO IT! I wish I had started years ago."
Andy, 36 - Bass
In addition to instrumental teaching, I also have experience providing coaching for music theory exams. I am also available for instruction and consultation in professional audio recording and techniques. If this is of interest to you, please don't hesitate to contact me.
