Student Testimonials

My son Danny has been attending lessons with Simon for about four months now. Before writing this review I asked him for his thoughts. His answer: "Good". High praise indeed from a ten year old. Seriously though, in the time that he's been a student his playing has greatly improved. He practices every day and looks forward to his weekly lessons. Simon is very patient easy going and approachable.

I have been attending lessons with Simon for a couple of months now and I have loved it! I am 25 years old and have 'taught' myself for a few years but have learned more from Simon in the last few months than I ever had or would have myself. Having never had any music tuition before, I find it amazing how Simon stays patient with me and all my bad habits! I would HIGHLY recommend Simon to anyone thinking of taking up the guitar or to people who want to take what they already know to the next level! Cheers! Stewart.

My son has been attending Simon for a few months now and has made definite improvements in his guitar playing. He is already applied to sit his first guitar exams. Simon is very patient and a great teacher. Thanks

Simon has been teaching my daughter Holli for a couple of years now, he is such a fabulous teacher with a lot of patience that makes you feel at ease. Holli has had two distinctions with her exams and feels comfortable with Simon. He will go out his way to fix the guitars and encourage his pupils at the level they are comfortable with, I truly believe his passion for the guitar, helps children and adults alike to appreciate the same. Holli has good confidence when she is at guitar practice and he makes her feel safe. Thanks si, for making my dream come true with guitar lessons, you truly do a wonderful job, hearing Holli playing the guitar brings tears to my eyes. Marcia x

My son recently started one to one lessons with Simon and is really enjoying them. Simon is really encouraging and patient. Explains things well and easy to talk to and ask questions. I would definitely recommend his guitar lessons.

Simon is a great teacher and my son has passed his exams moving up three levels. He is also very flexible to changes which I have to make due to work commitments and accommodates changes to Aaron's lesson times. He also helped Aaron to learn a song for school which went well!

Simon is an awesome teacher, I' ve had more confidence with playing guitar in front of my family and friends since I started lessons with him. He is patient and encouraging and is always asking if I have any questions at all about guitar. I've enjoyed every guitar lesson I have had with him and I am looking forward to having more.

My son and I have been attending guitar lessons with Simon for a few weeks. Simon is an excellent guitar teacher. He is very encouraging and patient, and has a great manner which makes his students feel at ease. He is flexible with lessons and has always accommodated any changes in times which were necessary due to my work commitments. I would highly recommend Simon for anyone thinking of starting lessons. Within a few weeks he had us playing tunes we could recognise.

My son Lewis, tried a group lesson with someone else and learned nothing. The one to one which Simon has given Lewis is fabulous. He is very professional, patient and polite. Lewis is really enjoying his lessons and looks forward to them... Many Thanks Simon..Keep up the good work...

Simon is so calm and patient, he really encourages and inspires Matthew to learn guitar. Getting tuition on a one-to-one basis for Matthew has been great and I don't think he would have enjoyed it or even stuck with it if he had been in a group as the personal attention is what he needs. Simon is really helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.
