Dean is absolutely brilliant with Oliver. His lessons are in the evening after a long day in school and after school club but Dean makes the session enjoyable. Dean is very appreciative of the effort Oliver puts in and as a result it is never a problem to motivate him to practice. His positive, welcoming persona means that Oliver loves to come back every week for his lessons. The teaching techniques he uses is great for young children and helps them progress quickly. I am glad we chose Dean for Oliver’s first piano lesson. Thank you

An excellent professional who works well with young people, individually and in small groups. Dean uses humour and praise with ease, promoting confidence and skill in the teaching and learning of music. I have never seen an unhappy student under Dean's guidance.

Dean is a fantastic teacher, with excellent communication skills and rapport and a strong focus on learning outcomes. He provides a good balance of support and challenge, able to help students achieve their full potential.

I cannot recommend Dean enough. Dean was my music teacher through secondary school and was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but was engaging and approachable. You can’t help but absorb the same passion he exudes. Dean never fails to support students in whatever way they need, using a variety of educational mediums and has excellent communication skills. He’s a very special individual who invests greatly in your development and is well worth moving forward with.
