Simon has a way of making piano lessons both fun and focused. My teen, who had lost interest, is now genuinely enjoying playing again. It’s refreshing to see his excited about lessons once more.

Finding the ideal fit for my teenage son was a concern of mine after moving to the West Side. Simon utilises a hybrid digital piano to educate him, emphasising artistic components such as pedal use and phrasing. Now, he makes his own covers.

My recital pieces benefited greatly from Simon lessons of how to time my pieces and understand my dynamics. he really helped me grasp the methods for the cresendos and decrescendos as I practiced on my upright piano. I can honestly say that he has taught me a lot!

With each of his piano lesson, my daughter’s confidence in performing has grown. It’s been amazing to watch his steady progress with Simon and he now plays with a sense of ease and assurance.
