"I started my lessons with Sam two years ago and it was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. As an adult student I was unsure of what I would be getting out of it but in a short time I could see my skills evolve and was much more confident taking on more complex pieces. Sam's best trait is his high adaptable style of teaching. Which makes a world of difference when you are having a 1-to-1 lesson and come with very little experience. He will tailor the lesson to your needs and doesn't back down from getting you to nail those technical areas you might be struggling with.
I think the best feedback I had so far, was when I was a year into my lessons with Sam and my partner remarked how good I had become. Sam is very accommodating and respectful and will be happy to go at your rhythm. Your potential for growth is really up to you in the end."

"I have been learning piano with Sam for two years and have made huge progress during this time. The lessons are productive, fun and I always come away feeling highly motivated to keep putting in the practice. Sam teaches you a technique/method to apply when learning every new song, this has meant my rate of progress has been amazing. Sam is so talented and shares his passion with his students, I find him an encouraging and inspirational teacher. So if like me, you have always wanted to learnt to play the piano, why not give Sam a whirl?
A huge thank you to Sam."

"Sam is inspirational. Sam was a music instructor at ARRCC which was a day centre for young disabled adults, where I was the centre manager. Sam has a unique way of bringing the best out of people and has taught adults with Autism who went on to perform concerts with other adults in front of audiences, which was truly remarkable. Sam's own talent is unbelievable he lights up a room and his skills are pure brilliance"

"A fun, modern approach to teaching!
I started learning the piano with Sam via Zoom a few months ago and I am thoroughly enjoying it. The lessons fit in well around my work and it's so easy to learn without leaving the house! He explains everything really well and makes it interesting and fun to learn - I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a teacher!"
