Paul K
Paul is a wonderful tutor match if, like me, you need someone who is not only passionate about playing music with feeling, but is also kind, compassionate and confidence building! I'm an adult student (in Ireland) who played violin until age 16 then let it go for over 40 years...until now! Although my playing is back to beginner level, Paul is giving me the encouragement and appropriate challenges to build my ability and confidence up. His positivity and lightness make this a joyful learning exploration rather than a hard or heavy lesson, and I am very grateful for his intuitive understanding of what is needed. Highly recommend!

Marie C
It was a very lovely inspiring session. Son’s confidence and determination to playing the piece was reassured by Marie, as she she showed him he could deliver areas in the piece he had felt was too difficult.
Marie wasn’t about the the time booked, but the comfort of knowing her student was comfortable and understood the lesson. This wasn’t a pressured teaching method, rather ensuring the students love for music continued.
I was so pleased with the session, and hearing my son’s feedback, on how enjoyed the lesson so much, that I booked the next lesson immediately.
I will highly recommend her as a tutor to any student.
