'You've given me lots of new ways to expand my chord knowledge and songwriting abilities. Thankyou so much for taking the time to email me everything we did in the lesson!'
"I've loved every lesson, always fascinated with how much you know (and I know you've only taught me 1% of what you know), every lesson gives me a new challenge..." 'I really appreciate all the thought you put into our lessons and the follow-up music' 'I really enjoyed our session yesterday - came home full of beans and enthusiasm!' 'My son got 131 (Distinction) in his Grade 5, which he is absolutely over the moon with! It's amazing what a good teacher can do! Thanks for giving him the vote of confidence he needed.' |
"You were a really calming presence, all the while pushing me to be better."
"Chris is a great teacher and has taught myself and two of my sons. He helped us all learn in our own styles, with our own learning preferences".
"When I get a piece of music right it is one of the most pleasurable / relaxing / rewarding feelings I have ever had. It's been a real eye opener how difficult doing something physical has been, connecting my brain with actual movements, when all I've done for the last 20 years is work in an office typing away at a computer; it's made me realise how important variation is in life so I don't find it hard to do new things. I wish I had kept it up all those years ago (should have listened to mother...), and if I could play as well as you I would be at the piano 24/7. Thank you."
"Thank you for the super lessons, the progress report and videos sent - all very helpful and will keep my daughter focused over the next week. She is really pleased with all the work you have covered on chords and has said many times how much it has helped her. It's great to see her progressing so well!"
