Alistair is enthusiastic, patient and is committed to providing top quality teaching. As an absolute beginner in learning the cello, I have learned a lot already from holding the bow correctly to producing the correct sounds. I am an older pupil so I greatly appreciate his patience and his professionalism.

We employ Alistair as Principal cello with the Nonesuch Orchestra. Our most important work is giving workshop/concerts to primary and secondary schools in London. Alistair's technical and artistic skills are of a high order. He provides insightful coaching to the amateur cellists in the orchestra and demonstrates the capabilities of the cello to our young listeners.

Alistair is an excellent, committed and highly professional cello tutor. I have been thoroughly impressed with the depth and breadth of his knowledge of music, and his ability to make lessons engaging and enjoyable.
