Student Testimonial

"Very highly recommend! I have been using the online lessons for the graded pieces. These are invaluable, taking you through the pieces step by step, giving the time to really master the music. I’ve not found anything else close to as good as this online for learning grades. There is a tonne of other content, too, and it all comes at a very competitive price. John will give 1:1 feedback on progress and performance, with a quick turnaround time. Customer service is great.. the one snag I had when signing up (my fault!) was sorted quickly and professionally. A great set up!"
Mark Sage
