Music graduate with 14 years experience teaches piano, theory, & musicality to pupils from beginners to advanced in their homes in the South Manchester area.

I have been having piano lessons with David for almost 8 years now, and he has taught me so much. Not only does his passion for and knowledge of music of all styles make him a brilliant teacher, but he his also incredibly patient and supportive in lessons. He encourages a holistic approach to learning music, involving theory, history, composition, exercises and pieces of all styles- taught in an engaging and enjoyable way. If you're looking for a piano teacher, no matter your previous skill or future goals, I would recommend David every day of the week! He really has taken me from someone with no musical ability, to being able to pass piano exams, make music with friends, and perform in front of others. His lessons are often the highlight of my week. Thank you David!

I’ve been taking piano lessons with David for the past couple of years, before me he taught my teenage son.

His lessons are structured and varied, he is patient and encouraging and I thoroughly enjoy them and the progress I’m making.

I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

David is a kind, supportive teacher and very encouraging.

My pace is slow... and steady. I have finally learnt to be more patient with myself.

I started my lessons in my 60's so some aspects of my learning have been bit tricky, especially sight reading and tense hands.

I am more relaxed now and David's practice plans that break down my pieces to manageable chunks have been a break though.

As a singer David has also encouraged me to use my voice in my learning.

Thank you David for all the knowledge that you have passed on to me over these years.

David is a wonderful, talented piano teacher. He has been teaching my 8 year old son for over a year now and we are so impressed with the progress he has made. David is very kind and patient and my son really looks forward to lessons with him. Thank you so much for everything!

David has been teaching our 6 year old boy Piano for around a year now and he really enjoys it. David is very patient and makes sure to make the lesson fun.
Our boy loves having his lesson each week and really looks forward to it. He has made great progress during this time and it's been amazing to watch. The highlight so far was his performance at a church in central Manchester.
We can highly recommend David to anyone wishing to teach their child piano.

David is fantastic! He’s tutored our daughter for several years now, and is so patient, kind and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend him to anyone whether they’re looking to start playing piano for the first time, or to improve their skills and progress through the grades.

David is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and kind. His polite and thoughtful approach makes every lesson enjoyable and engaging. Beyond his teaching skills, David has a warm personality that makes him more than just a teacher ,he’s also a great friend. I feel lucky to learn from such a talented and supportive person.
