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!

Taking piano lessons with George has changed my whole approach to practicing. he strikes the perfect balance between kindness and discipline and his insights consistently help me get better. I am particularly thankful for his support while I was getting ready for my music school auditions in the Oaks.
