Testimonials

"Phillip feels like a rare and special find. I have been a "musician" for years in the capacity of playing guitar and bass in bands, but have shied away from musical tuition primarily due to worries (and probably early experiences at school!) regarding the difficulties in being able to find the right music teacher. I received multiple recommendations for Phillip on local Facebook groups when I asked about cello lessons and after exchanging some short messages with Phillip, I had a good feeling based on his manner and thought I'd go for it. I am so glad I did: I'm right at the beginning of my journey of becoming a more serious musician and learning a classical instrument, but Phillip has been nothing short of excellent on every count. The level of professionalism and passion, his friendly and patient manner, clear depth of knowledge and ability to find the way to best impart that to another person make for an absolutely wonderful full package and any of my worries around finding the right teacher quickly melted away. I feel that the lessons are the perfect balance of a highly productive but enjoyable slice of time and I walk away from every one excited to practise the material we covered and looking forward to the next lesson too. If you are considering music tuition with Phillip for yourself or for your kids, I'd say there's absolutely no reason to hesitate and I give every recommendation I can."

"Phillip is the best music tutor. He has supported me through my A levels and given me the confidence that I needed. He is professional and knowledgeable, and it is clear that his ultimate goal is to share his passion for music with his students. Nothing is too much trouble and he was able to cover all aspects of my course. Alongside this he provides excellent singing lessons, piano tuition and even helps with compositions and song writing. I would recommend Phillip to anyone who needs a dedicated music tutor."

"I had the absolute pleasure in attending Phillip's students' first Christmas concert. Yes, Phillip is my nephew which is why I went but I was blown away by the children and adults who performed. If a mistake was made (rarely) they just carried on. They were beaming when they finished and every single act entertained. I am so looking forward to the next one and this time not just because it's Phillip. Well done."
