"Hi, Just wanted to say again a big thank you! I'm thoroughly enjoying my guitar lessons with your school! I am sure you will go from strength to strength, you certainly deserve to as you have definitely got a great school going there! I would also like to thank my tutor. He is a fantastic teacher and really re-ignited my passion for playing the guitar... His lessons are always fun and the pacing of them is spot on!"

Testimonials
"I am writing to say how pleased we are with the teaching our son is receiving at A to G. He began learning bass guitar a little more than 2 months ago, and although always keen, his interest in his instrument and the desire to master it has really sharpened under your teacher's tutelage. Working with your school has been a bit of an eye-opener for him who has been used to learning in groups. His positive experience led to his asking if he could also have one-to-one teaching on his guitar. In fairness, the school’s group lessons were a brilliant way to start for him but his progress is accelerating now and it’s interesting to see how what he learns on bass is in turn helping him learn the guitar. Please extend our thanks to the tutors. Thank you to you to for your excellent administration and communication!"

"During the twelve months that my daughter has been attending A to G Music School, she has enjoyed excellent tutoring... Her technique, knowledge and enjoyment of lessons have all benefittd from the teacher's attention to detail, wide knowledge and cheery demeanour. My daughter has enjoyed the last twelve months immensely and is very much looking forward to continuing her lessons with the School in the future."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the past year learning the piano at A to G. It is something I had been promising myself I would do for ages but never got around to. My tutor is a great teacher, so enthusiastic and patient. My only regret is I didn't start earlier!"
Sue (Adult Student)
"I have recently finished 1 year being tutored on piano at A to G Music School. In that year I have advanced quicker than I thought possible, mainly due my tutor's patience and enthusiasm for the music we select. We play a lot of songs from artists I enjoy listening to and her ability to translate them to piano, at a level comfortable for me to play, is fantastic. This keeps me interested and each lesson is great fun. I look forward to seeing what we can achieve in my second year."
Mike (Adult Student)
"My flute teacher is wonderfully patient and inspiring. She has excellent teaching skills and has helped me to improve my playing and timing through constant encouragement and using a variety of well thought out pieces. I would certainly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn or improve their flute playing!"
Jules (Adult Student)
"I thought I would only have four singing lessons to give me a little confidence but I enjoy the lessons and have learnt so much and improved so much that, over a year later, I am still having lessons. With my teacher I have progressed to learning to read music and I have grown in confidence with my singing and I now sing in an a cappella choir.
Lesson with her are fun, she changes them slightly from week to week so there is no chance to get bored. Because I want to learn more about music, we spend some time learning more about the notes and the way they are written. I usually sing a song of my choosing, with my teacher providing corrections and pointers to improve my renditions. I can recommend her as a fun, thoughtful, enthusiastic and efficient teacher."

"I'm pleased to have the opportunity to say that I have had an amazing year. Really enjoying every minute of every lesson and learning such a lot in the peace and comfort of your lovely school. Thanks to my teacher. He's always so patient and encouraging and never minds how many times I ask him to explain the same thing. It's great to have got to know you and I'm so looking forward to my next year."
Penny (Adult Student)
"I am very happy with the tuitions provided at A to G. In the last year my daughter had a change of tutor and the handover was very thorough. The teaching is comprehensive and methodical, providing a very good grounding in the technique and good practice. The teacher has also been flexible to take on suggestions and in helping with preparation for aural tests in her second instrument exams. I am really pleased with the quality of teaching provided!"
Philip (Parent)
"I am very happy with the progress I have made thanks to my Piano Teacher, who has been the best teacher I have been with. He encourages me every time I have a lesson and I enjoy them so much. Thank you also to the ladies at the reception for the kind words of support."
John (Adult Student)
"I came to A to G a few months ago lacking confidence in Perfoming and vocal ability. In a short time my vocal coach has built me up in those areas brilliantly and has prepared me for my wedding day to sing to my wife. I am still learning and continue to do so enjoying the lessons and her fun approach to something that's a big part of my life. I would recommend her to all ages as she has a great knowledge of music and let's you be free to develop songs that you love. I shall continue to have lessons with her even after my wedding as I enjoy the time spent with her and at the music school."
Simon (Adult Student)
"My vocal coach at A to G is a brilliant tutor who has really helped me to improve all aspects of my singing. She is encouraging, motivational and has given me confidence, which is vital as a singer, to perform to the best of my abilities when singing at live gigs. Thanks to her I fully understand the importance of correct breathing technique, vowel placements and music theory, which have all enabled me to further my skills greatly as a vocalist. I would highly recommend her as her enthusiasm and upbeat nature never fail to make my singing lessons fun and exciting. You rock!"
Charliy (Teenage Student)
"My granddaughter has a marvellous teacher. She manages to correct her errors without betraying any negative emotions, which is the essence of helping anyone to learn. My granddaughter LOVES her flute - practices at home without being told to - and genuinely wants to please her teacher, that has helped her in other departments as well. I am quite an experienced teacher myself and it is a pleasure to observe such a good one."
Salley (Grandma)
"I have been studying music at A to G for over a year now. During the piano lessons, the tutor gave me detailed feedbacks and also demonstrated to me how to improve the areas that required attention. Explanations often were given that provide me with a deeper understanding of the pieces and reasons for improvement thereby linking practice to theory. At the end of my lessons, I knew what I had to do, to know and to practise in order to play competently and musically. The teacher encouraged and tutored me in the preparation for three performances. Thank you for being on such a journey with me with the aim of playing musically, improving my scales, aural and sight reading. My teacher has made learning fun and a pleasurable experience. He is indeed an inspiring teacher and versatile facilitator." -

"My daughter's tutor has been doing a fantastic job at praising, teaching and guiding her; just the right balance to keep her confidence and enthusiasm going. Couldn't ask for a better tutor. A to G Music School is a warm and well-organised environment in which to learn and progress. Its growth over the last few months is a testimony to its great personnel."
Priscillia (Parent)
"Best tutors! I am really pleased of my daughter’s progress in learning piano with her wonderful teacher. Not only her tutor finds a way for her to learn more and effectively but she also goes out of her limb to help her in many other things. I also wanted to say thank you to my daughter’s violin teacher. Thank you for being patient and thank you for imparting your expertise. Lastly I am so glad I decided to have my children enrolled in your music school. Praises to all of you and all the tutors. My best wishes!"
