Music Lessons Reviews

"Sophie is a skilled, knowledgeable and encouraging teacher. As a beginner saxophonist I have enjoyed our lessons and have made great progress"

Helen, adult saxophone student

 “Our son describes her as “brilliant.” The benefits have not been limited to piano. Sophie has built our son’s confidence with lessons that are structured but fun. Our son looks forward to his Friday lessons. He loves being challenged in a safe and friendly environment. We highly recommend her!!” 

Gariyaki, dad of piano student

"Sophie is reliable, approachable, friendly and professional. My daughter (11-years-old) really looks forward to her lessons each week. I feel extremely lucky to have found her!" 

Julia, mum of clarinet student 

"Our four-year-old daughter always looks forward to her lessons. Without the need for encouragement she jumps straight on the piano stool and is immediately captivated by Sophie’s personable and entertaining approach to teaching the piano. Also, she leaves her the resources to be able to practise on her own between lessons."

Tresa, mum of piano student

"A huge thanks to you for supporting my daughter's progress and unlocking her true ability. I can't remember if I explained before, but this first term with you was really important to see if there was any piano talent within her. It became clear very early on that she had the ability, desire and drive to play. I'm sure that as she gets to harder pieces she will need to lean on her determination, but that's one of her key strengths. She also loves to practice! And that's what I love the most. Big thanks for all your first class effort and attainment!!"

Claire, mum of piano student

"Sophie is a great  and talented music teacher for my teenager. We've found it so important to find a music teacher who is inspiring, enthusiastic and a great role model and mentor. Sophie is all of these and always arrives on time with a friendly smile."

Jane, mum of clarinet student

"She has taught me, a very 'mature' student as beginner on the bassoon, and has endless patience and encouragement when I find things a bit tricky!"

Wendy, adult bassoon student

"Sophie is an incredible teacher -  so engaging and encouraging and enthusiastic.  My son loves his lessons with her and is making great progress."

Lucy, mum of piano student
