George , who teaches in SW Cape, is an amazing piano teacher. As a parent, I’m truly impressed by his patient and encouraging manner with my child during their beginner lessons. he emphasizes the importance of proper hand placement and getting comfortable with the grand piano, which has established a strong groundwork. The improvement in both skill and confidence is already apparent. he’s definitely the right choice for young beginners starting their music adventure!
