My son has just started lessons with Hugh and has had a renewed enthusiasm for learning trumpet. Hugh is a dynamic and encouraging teacher who has chosen music my son enjoys to play rather than just working through the pieces in a book. I would highly recommend him.

Hugh has been working with my daughter (10 years old) to pass her grade one for trombone. So far I have noticed she plays more fluently and practices a lot more than she used to. Hugh is very organised and punctual. He logs all of the weekly homework on a spreadsheet and also records music pieces so she can use the recordings to practice, in which she uses often. Most of all Hugh is fun and very passionate about music and that really comes across when he is teaching. My daughter really likes his way of explaining.

Hugh is a great teacher. His breath of musical knowledge and experience is extensive. He is super passionate and finds great ways of explaining complex topics in a way that’s easily understood. He’s a really nice guy and the lessons have been both engaging and enjoyable!

Hugh has been teaching me the trumpet for the last 2 years and I have made much faster progress than I ever expected. Hugh has been a motivating and inspirational teacher while keeping things fun and letting me work at a pace I'm happy with. I very much feel that he tailors his approach to each individual student and I would highly recommend him as a teacher.

Hugh has taught music to my children and to me, from absolute beginners all the way through to Grade 8. He's an excellent teacher both in terms of technical instruction, and also in motivating, and finding ways to make practise and performance enjoyable.
