Testimonials

I cannot praise Sue highly enough as an older lady who wanted to learn to play the piano again after giving it up in my early teens, I found an entry on Facebook from Sue saying she had lessons available. Now over 2 years later I am still learning but have covered so much that I never believed I could do. I can sight read a piece of music, I am learning all the theory whilst learning to play many different tunes (not just scales which was my previous experience) and am currently, with Sue's help, composing my own piece. Lessons with her are fun but don't be fooled she does work me hard and helps me to achieve more than I ever thought I could. So if you want a teacher who makes the learning interesting and satisfying then I recommend you speak to Sue.

Sue is an amazing piano teacher. She worked with my son from the age of 5 . She recognised his gift for music. He has ASD and doesn't learn like most children. Sue took the time to understand him and would change lesson plans to get the most out of him. One lesson they were both led on the floor to recognise the beats of music. She is an incredible teacher and a wonderful human being.

I've recently re-started playing piano with Sue after a 25 + year gap, so feel like a beginner again. Sue is enthusiastic, patient and encouraging. Provides good teaching methods to make learning to play piano enjoyable. I am learning so much from her and enjoying learning to play again. Sue provides you with practice material to take home to further consolidate the work we do together and ensures each week I am making progress. Sue provides an excellent service at very reasonable hourly rates. Highly recommend Sue and looking forward to finally becoming a competent pianist under her tuition.

I'm really enjoying my piano lessons and it's all down to Sue. She makes learning fun,  whilst motivating me to practice and explore the more tricky elements of playing. Sue is very patient and takes the time to explain how the various exercises will help me to get where I want to be.

I've not been taking lessons for very long, but my playing is improving in leaps and bounds.

I cannot recommend Sue enough! I played piano as a child and felt I’d lost all my ability, however in such a short space of time Sue managed to tune into my way of learning and helped me to achieve what I never imagined I could. Through creative ways she managed to access the knowledge I already had and transfer this back into my playing. She has an incredible ability to understand a persons unique way of learning and also makes lesson time fun. She is warm, patient and authentic. Thanks Sue!

In 2021 at the age of 84 it was a lifelong ambition to learn to play the piano. Thanks to Covid I found Sue who has guided me through the technical challenges of online lessons and Zoom with ease. Her teaching style is imaginative, incredibly patient and encouraging. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for any age and any ability … I look forward to my lesson each week.

I can’t recommend sue enough.

Sue is an amazing teacher.

A year ago I purchased an electric piano not knowing quite what I wanted to learn. Sue was patient and listened to me and adapted my lessons as my knowledge grew or I found a piece of music that took my interest (even when I sprang it on her at the beginning of the lesson). Under Sue's guidance and encouragement I have even composed a short and simple piece, something I never thought I would do in my wildest dreams when I started.

The lessons are always fun and enjoyable and I always look forward to them each week.

Having been a musician for many many years playing guitar, paradoxically I have never been able to read music

I had also wanted to learn piano but figured I would not be able to do that without learning to read music.

On mentioning this to a friend they immediately loaned me a keyboard and I felt that I should take up the challenge

From my first lesson with Sue I realised that I might just be able to grasp what had evaded me for such a long time.

Sue is kind, patient, and explains the logic of learning in a way that gives confidence.

Sue also has a delightful and gentle sense of humour so that even when you get it quite wrong she is on your side and explains in easy terms what the problem was.

I am a mature student and honestly thought my little dream would never become a reality.

I am now on page 79 of my 2nd book reading music that at one time just looked like a foreign language to me, also playing with both hands !!!.

I would truly recommend Sue to anyone young or old, she has managed to teach me something I never ever thought possible and I thank her wholeheartedly.

Ps I now have upgraded to a proper portable piano in just 6 months !!
