“I have known Brian for 15 years. We first came into contact when I was unequivocally recommended to him as a piano teacher for my then young son. That recommendation proved to be well made. On top of that, whilst Brian has always been very professional in his dealings he has also combined this with a personal, friendly and caring approach plus a willingness to go 'the extra mile'. Based on my experience with Brian, I have recommended him to others who have been looking for music teachers.”
