What my students (and their parents!) say...

"I have been learning jazz piano with Chris since January 2008 and have learnt so much from him. He has got me through grade 4 jazz piano with Distinction and I`m taking grade 6.  His lessons are superb, always fun and after being classically trained by some really boring teachers, he has been a breath of fresh air."
Ms. C.B. (Shirley)

"His approach to my “adult nerves” disappeared after one lesson and I`ve learnt with confidence and enjoyment.
Chris is a talented, patient teacher who teaches at your own pace and to your own interests and most of all we have fun while we are doing it." 
Ms. J.A.B. (Solihull)

"Piano lessons with Chris are enjoyable and no stage of the learning process is made a daunting prospect."
Mr. D.C. (Solihull)

"I am so glad I decided to learn the piano under Chris's guidance - I am so pleased with what I can play after only a handful of lessons."
Mrs. L.K. (Wythall)

"I have learnt more in 6 weeks with Chris than I did in 12 months with my previous teacher."
Mr. D.C. (Solihull)

"Chris is always extremely patient & despite his own obvious natural talent, possesses an empathy with his pupils which is second to none.   My son (aged 7) always looks forward to his lessons, which demonstrates Chris's relaxed, friendly, yet very productive style.    I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone of any age wishing to learn the piano!" 
Ms. S. H-F. (Olton)

"My daughter (aged 7) has made a fantastic start to playing the piano.  Within 3 weeks, Chris had taught her to read music and play simple tunes.  He combines a light-hearted approach with a very structured approach to learning.  I'm delighted with the progress that my daughter has made.  She loves her lessons, too!"   
Mrs. D.C. (Solihull)

"I restarted piano lessons after a 15 year break having learned for several years whilst at school. Chris's teaching has inspired me to continue playing and he has taught me more than all my previous teachers."
Dr. J.G. (Dickens Heath)

"Chris has been teaching my 12 year old daughter and 7 year old son for many months now. His style of teaching is disciplined with humour, and his method of rewarding with stickers, which leads to prizes, works wonders in ensuring the kids practice at home.  I would not hesitate to recommend Chris as an excellent music teacher."
Mr. J.S.S (Solihull)

"Chris has a very unique and flexible approach towards an adult beginner.  I am very pleased with the progress I have been making." 
Mr. S. A. (Olton)

"Chris's relaxed attitude towards the piano and his philosophy that playing should always be enjoyable make him an ideal teacher"
Mr. D.C. (Solihull)

"I've learned more in 3 weeks than I thought I could ever learn!"
Mr. I.H. (Coleshill)
