testimonials
“Harry’s knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for music is evident in every lesson. His upbeat, positive and happy demeanour make him a great role model for our children who enjoy every music lesson that he teaches. His music lessons are engaging, enjoyable, well structured and well resourced. Regular written reports, which are given immediately after each music session, are informative and help us to work in partnership with Harry to know what next steps need to be taken in order for our children to progress. He is an incredibly talented musician that instils a love of music to those that he teaches.”

Sonia Binks
“I am very happy to have found Harry. My son (now 12) had lost interest in electric guitar as not keen on the repertoire taught by his previous teacher. From his very first session with Harry my son seemed more enthusiastic and engaged. Harry takes the time to find songs my son likes, is very patient and encouraging. Harry is very knowledgeable and passionate about music as well as his pupil’s progress. He is also a very nice chap, responsible and accommodating. He’s got our full endorsement.”

Harry worked with the student to obtain a distinction grade in Debut Rockschool Electric Guitar, and together they are currently working towards Grade 1.
“Harry has been teaching our 15 year old son for almost 2 years and is now preparing him for his music GCSE. He’s been fantastic at fuelling our son’s interest in playing guitar by making sessions fun, varied and challenging. Harry enjoys sharing his love of music which has inspired our son to broaden his musical knowledge. We are very happy with the progress made and the fact our son looks forward to his lessons each week. We highly recommend Harry!”
