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.
