Thank you for your patience and help with my singing. Without it I wouldn't have managed my distinction in grade 7 or grade 8.

Over the years you've really helped me find my voice. I've really enjoyed every singing lesson, you're a great teacher. Thank you also for being patient with me, I wouldn't have passed my grade 8 without you.
DISTINCTION BABEY!
Finty, aged 17
Thankyou very much for all your hard work and for teaching me and I will miss your great and not so great but just as funny jokes! I find practising a lot more appealing now, and that's saying something! Thankyou again.
Bethany, aged 12
Thanks so much for the excellent piano tuition. Somehow you managed to get Mike excited about Grades again and through to a Distinction at Grade 8. We were so pleased for Mike but he couldn't have done it without you...
Parents of Mike, aged 17
Thank you for all your help over the past two years! You've been an absolutely brilliant teacher. I've always really enjoyed our lessons and I feel like I have improved a lot recently. Plus I never thought I'd get a distinction at grade 8!!
Lizzie, aged 18
Thank you so much for everything over the past 4 years. I remember being so nervous in our first lesson, having not sung for years. You helped me to get back to my previous standard, and then improve so much more. Also, thank your believing in me more than I did myself, and asking me to be in the quartet, because without it I certainly wouldn't be as confident as I am now or have joined jazz, which I love. I am really going to miss our lessons next year, and will make a point of finding some opportunities to sing as soon as I go to Uni.
Ellie, aged 18
