"Patrick started teaching my older son piano when he was six, and has inspired a real love of music and playing. He makes it easy to understand (according to my son), whilst also keeping it interesting and fun. He quickly got to know my son's character and what pieces he would enjoy playing. He challenges him and creates a desire to practice and improve. Patrick has now taken on the little brother too, which is quite the challenge!! For this he demonstrates his good humour and patience. Patrick is a delight to have around and we have recommended him to lots of people.” - Stella M ​ ​ "Having lessons with Patrick makes learning the piano extremely fun and engaging - working on both exam pieces and fun side pieces always keeps things interesting and he is incredibly patient and amiable in every lesson, as well as easy to talk to and learn from. He also taught me theory to prepare for my grade 5 exam, which I got an amazing result in thanks to his help. I have improved vastly since meeting him and would definitely recommend him to anyone playing at any level who is looking for a teacher!” - Cassie T ​ ​ "Daniel has started piano lesson with Patrick since September, he really enjoyed the lessons and Patrick is a very inspirational piano teacher, he is patient and fun. He encouraged Daniel to learn with initiative and to enjoy music through learning. I definitely recommend him." - Erica H "We have had the privilege of working with three incredible piano teachers at this school, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Each teacher has demonstrated amazing patience and a unique ability to connect with children on their level, creating a strong and positive bond that makes learning music a joy. One of the standout qualities of this school is the way the teachers go beyond traditional methods, supporting any musical interests our children express—whether they are in the book or not. This personalized approach has been truly inspiring. We want to give special thanks to Patrick and Nicol, who have gone the extra mile to adjust to our children’s individual personalities, tailoring their teaching styles to suit their needs. Their dedication allows our kids to follow their own musical paths while still building solid skills. Highly recommended to anyone seeking a nurturing and inspiring environment for music education." - Ricardo T
