Matthew is an outstanding teacher. He is brilliant at inspiring my ten and fourteen year old sons to love the piano. Lessons are tailored to the learner and Matthew is excellent at teaching technique and improvisation skills. He is also patient, kind, friendly and has a good rapport with students and parents alike. I highly recommend him.

I’m probably a beginner/intermediate standard player, and Matthew has steered me into some more advanced playing as well as tidying up some holes in my technique. Also, his breadth of musical know-how means there’s a good variety of pieces to work on. All been very enjoyable so far.

I’m so glad I started lessons with Matthew. I’d been trying to learn by myself from an online course for 8 months and was so frustrated. I made more progress with Matthew in my first 4 lessons than I had in the whole 8 months! On top of that he’s friendly and supportive and has a very gentle teaching style that has really helped me build confidence as well as new skill. I tend to arrive a bit early so I’ve also seen him teach other students and, as a teacher myself, I’ve been so impressed with the way he adapts for everyone from young children to skilled adults - I am very comfortable recommending Matthew as an excellent teacher for students of all skills and ages
