Concert Pianist with more than 20 years of experience teaches from home

Artur is by far the best teacher any student could ask for. He has unlimited knowledge, patience and kindness. I came to him as an "advanced" student only to realise I was mediocre at best and in the few years I've been with him, I've learned more than in 10 years with other teachers. His quality is a rare find and is second to none. It's hard to condense into words what Artur is capable of as a teacher and also a performer. I travel 2 hours to have my lessons and it's worth every second. If anyone is looking to learn the piano properly, Artur is the teacher for you.

I am happy to recommend Artur (Pereira) to you as an excellent teacher of piano and of Classical music in general. He has a Ph.D in musicology, he has given many piano recitals, and he has wide teaching experience both privately and at Manchester University, where I supervised his dissertation.

I took up piano a couple of years ago and started off self teaching, but ran in to the problem that I could play some pieces all the way through, yet couldn't make them sound good. I tried two other teachers before I met Artur, but some seem happy enough just to draw attention to which parts need more practice, and point out dynamics.

When I first met Artur, I found his teaching to be a revelation. At our first consultation, which was mostly an introduction, and discussion of requirements, I played him "une Comptine d'un autre ete" from Amelie which at the time I thought I could play fairly well. He then showed me how to play it so it sat more comfortably in my hands and how to bring out the melody, and it was already a million times better.

Since then we have attempted much harder pieces, and I wouldn't have reached anywhere near my current skill level without his expertise (even with the amount of practice I put in). He is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable teacher, and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

Artur is an extremely reliable person, an excellent pianist, and an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher.
