Marco has been teaching my 15 year old son for a few years now. His teaching methods are extremely effective and he is an inspiring and committed tutor. I highly recommend him as a piano and music production teacher.

Piano and song arrangements 26 06-04-2017
I've been studying piano for many years on and off and always found it hard to progress past a certain level. As a vocalist I was looking for a piano teacher with street knowledge of performance and arrangements to help me reach the next level. After 6 months of lessons I can see a definite improvement in my playing and song arrangements. I see Marco as a coach and mentor not just a piano teacher.

Now I finally get it 3 13-03-2017
As a professional drummer and drum teacher I've always been very comfortable with the concept of rhythm and how music is structured around it. But I never really got around to fully understanding scales, chords etc until I took a music theory course with Marco. Now I finally get it and I never thought it could be so simple. Marco's approach makes things very easy to understand and I actually have a lot of fun working with it now.

Piano 20 09-03-2017
"I started playing the piano at aged 10, taught by my grandmother. I enjoyed learning how to play pop songs, but she often complained that I wasn’t really reading the music. Regrettably as a teenager I dropped the piano as it wasn’t cool with my mates, and only took it up again many years later. I tried to teach myself and found songs and chords off the internet, but I got stuck. My playing sounded much more advanced than my early music training, but it never really sounded good and I didn’t know why. I downloaded some on-line lessons but the lack of practical support and regular face to face lessons meant I didn’t make any progress. I was at a stale mate. I loved to play and knew I needed lessons but I hated the fact that you got into trouble for playing a crochet instead of a semi quaver. I wanted to put my own twist on a song to my taste, not the person who wrote the music. If it sounded good to me, I was happy, but classically trained music teachers usually do not agree. You must do exactly what the music tells you to do. I got discouraged and stopped playing. Then I found Marco. He is exactly the teacher I have always dreamed of. He is happy for me to only learn songs I want to learn, and play them how I want to play them. He also teaches at the pace I learn (slow or fast). There is no set routine of boring stuff. But very importantly he has brought discipline and structure into my playing. As a properly qualified piano teacher, he has helped to get a more professional sound to my playing that I have never had before, and has a great mix of theory, practise exercises (scales etc) and fun songs. A perfect balance. Marco is a great teacher who is very encouraging yet provides constructive and honest feedback, where improvement is needed. He is helping me teach myself so I am not stuck between lessons and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!"
