Freelance Classical Musician offering Music Theory and History tuition to all ages/abilities (experience includes Music Staff jobs at ENO and the Berlin Philharmonic Easter Festival)

Adam is a passionate and highly skilled teacher who takes the time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each student, communicate these to parents, and tailor his teaching accordingly. He is warm and inviting, and his lessons maintain a good balance of discipline and fun. He goes out of his way to recommend music and local concerts and he doesn’t hesitate to provide extra advice whenever appropriate. We highly recommend him, just as he came highly recommended to us through our local community.

I'm delighted to write this recommendation for Adam who has been my piano teacher for the past year. As an adult student returning to the piano after many years, I'm glad that I found a teacher who is encouraging, patient and excellent at teaching piano techniques.
Adam always gives good advice on how to best practice when I'm on my own and also offers insightful guidance on artistic expression encouraging me to think more about how to interpret music. One of the aspects I also like is that Adam is helping me to find pieces that resonate with my musical taste.
I'm fairly new to music theory and Adam's in-depth knowledge and methods of teaching music theory have helped me to better understand chord progression and to experiment with chords to enhance some of the pieces I'm playing. Understanding the underlying structure of the pieces also helped with learning how to play them.
Adam has a genuine passion for music and I also enjoy our conversations about the history of music. In summary, he is a pleasure to work with and I warmly recommend him.

He is always very kind and is never mean and he is very supportive of my learning needs.
