Frequently Asked Questions

TESTIMONIALS

"Our son has been learning piano with Barry for over a year. The lessons are well planned and follow a clear structure progressing gradually from easier to more challenging pieces. Each week there is a different piece to practice. Barry is a calm and fun teacher. He’s also great at giving feedback.
Lessons have been easy to arrange, our son goes by himself after school. We have even arranged occasional online lessons which have also gone smoothly. Our son enjoys the lessons and enjoys playing piano, and we think Barry’s approach is a big reason for this. We’re very happy to recommend Barry’s lessons."

Barry managed to find a good balance between study pieces and my personal music taste, which made our study process enjoyable.
Barry’s advice and methods to improve my technic were remarkable, understandable and easy to practice. Also Barry was encouraging and inspirational. Overall we made excellent progress and I would recommend Barry as a piano teacher!"
