TESTIMONIALS
“Natalie has an amazing ability to connect with and calm down my wild-child daughter Charli (6yo) enough to focus on learning the piano and vocals. In just a year, she's progressed so much. Charli loved going to Natalie's classes, which always went too quickly, and she always wanted more time! Natalie is a wonderful teacher with such energy, passion and grace. She's our favorite teacher that we will always remember and talk about. Thank you for inspiring Charli with your talent & passion.”
Fleur, Mother of Charli (aged 6)
"My daughter and I really loved our piano lessons with Natalie. She was able to adapt her style to cater to the needs and interests of both myself (a lapsed adult player) and my four year old (a complete beginner). She made a special connection with my daughter which made the learning fun. We see her replicating the skills in other areas of her play (for example tapping out the rhythm of words), and my daughter frequently takes herself to the piano to practice what she learnt. Natalie reignited my interest in piano through both classical learning styles and more modern approaches to playing the piano which has expanded my playing toolset and confidence."
Elizabeth - adult student, and Mother of Mira (aged 4)
“Natalie is a very happy, positive and caring teacher who is genuinely interested in improving Sabrina’s singing and vocal techniques. She makes singing lessons engaging and fun! Natalie has been a true inspiration and wonderful role model to my daughter as she herself is a talented singer/songwriter musician. I would highly recommend Natalie to any new student to music.”
Maisie, Mother of Sabrina (aged 9)

"Natalie gave our daughter, Catriona, wonderful piano lessons. Thanks to Natalie’s excellent teaching and easy going communication Catriona made fantastic progress in playing ‘Easy’ by the Commodores and ABRSM Grade 1 exam pieces. A highly recommended piano teacher. Thank you Natalie."
