Robert Date: September 2019
I've twice started learning piano & given up. Neither teacher inspired me and I didn't get as far as taking any grade exams. When I reached 60 I thought I'd give it one last try and starting taking lessons with Paul. Four years later, with Grades One, Two & Three under my belt, I feel that at long last I am really making real progress. I expect to take Grade Four in the Spring. Paul has introduced me to some useful iPad apps that, together with my weekly lesson, mean my piano playing is developing surprisingly quickly. I look forward to my lessons with Paul and enjoy practicing back at home. He has the knack of sensing when my confidence is waning and introducing something new at just the right time. My only regret is that I didn't start lessons with Paul sooner!

I restarted the piano this year after a gap of 50 years, and have found Paul to be an extremely experienced tutor. He has pushed me harder than I imagined I was capable of, and I’m really enjoying playing again - not just classical pieces, but also popular and jazz. He’s especially keen to help pupils progress faster using technology - such as apps, installed on a tablet or integrated with a digital piano. All new to me, but definitely a welcome teaching advance.

I've been a piano student with Paul for several years now, and have always found his lessons to be a pleasure. Paul is patient, enthusiastic and has an impressive knowledge of apps and software that he's used in order to help me practise and learn more effectively. When I've been working away, Paul would offer lessons over Skype so that I could continue progressing whilst not at home, which was much appreciated. I'd highly recommend Paul to anyone wishing to learn to play the piano.

Paul is a wonderful piano teacher, and I would highly recommend him to both children and adults. My daughter started lessons with him just before COVID, when she was around seven or eight. When lessons moved to Zoom, I was so impressed by how well he taught online that I decided to start learning too!

We built a lovely relationship with Paul and were delighted to return to face-to-face lessons once restrictions lifted. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable and encouraging, while also giving us the gentle push we needed to practise consistently and keep progressing.

I particularly appreciated his emphasis on music theory, which became an important part of learning for both of us. His years of experience really show, and we have both been so pleased with our lessons. Thank you, Paul!
