Testimonials
Emily – Parent of Felix (15)
When we started with Cliff, my son was on the verge of giving up piano having been demoralised by the rigid demands of previous teachers. He has now completed Grade 3 but more importantly enjoys the music he is playing. Cliff is happy to adapt his teaching to the interests of his students. The best thing about Cliff is his cheerful, encouraging and positive demeanour. He gives constructive feedback but always gives my son the self-belief that he can do it.
The Oliver Family
Cliffard has taught all our three sons to play the piano. Three different characters – and three different concentration levels! They have all got on well with him.
The results have been great, all have responded well, our oldest has passed Grade 8 and is now doing a Diploma. They enjoy playing and sound good.
Cliffard has always been cheerful, friendly, patient and competent; we cannot recommend him highly enough.
Mark and Oscar
Oscar (14) – Cliffard is a very fun and effective teacher. He makes learning the piano enjoyable and not boring!
Mark (Dad) – What has impressed me about Cliffard’s teaching is how he focuses on Oscar as an individual, rather than rolling out a blanket teaching plan. He’s made it fun. As well as teaching theory and getting Oscar to bash out the necessary scales, he makes sure Oscar can play recognisable tunes quickly… this keeps Oscar motivated and brings a big smile to those listening (i.e. his long-suffering parents!)
