Auckland Piano Lesson Testimonials

Keith Barnett2024-06-11My daughter was seven year old when she started taking piano lessons with Mr. William, and she has made a lot of progress in the past year. I can't recommend Mr. William any more highly; literally, Google only allows a maximum of five stars. Mr. William is kind and patient, and his teaching style focuses on high praise of success and very gentle corrections of mistakes. This approach has kept my child enthusiastic about lessons even after a year in. The typical 30 minute lesson is given to the practice of scales, using a music course book, and a music theory book. As an added benefit, my daughter has enjoyed using her music theory knowledge during her primary school music classes. My daughters opinion of Mr. William, "Mmmyeah, he's a good teacher". Which is a glowing review from a eight year old.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ruby McDowell2024-06-05Tim has been incredibly helpful, encouraging, and supportive ever since I began my journey to learn piano as an adult three years ago. He strikes a perfect balance between humour and academic knowledge, incorporating numerous metaphors and visual aids to help in understanding and retaining new concepts. Many people believe learning new skills later in life is challenging, but with Tim's professionalism and warmth, it has been not only achievable but also one of my life's greatest joys! I wholeheartedly recommend Tim's services to individuals of any age or skill level.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Toby Cartwright2024-05-29Tim is a kind, amazing teacher who truly cares about his students’ development. I started out as an adult student with no musical knowledge or formal training and was able to read and play complex pieces because of Tim’s commitment to getting the best out of his students. Tim is flexible, has a great sense of humour and allows his students to follow the type of music that interests them while instilling the fundamentals that can help them succeed in whatever genre. I would recommend Tim to anyone wanting to learn the piano/keys.
