Testimonials

What students say.

"My son is having music theory lessons to support his applications to music conservatoires. He keeps telling me what an excellent teacher Hugh is — super high levels of expertise and really calm and kind too. He comes highly recommended."

— Sarah E.

"Hugh is a brilliant teacher, patient and makes the lessons fun. As a relative piano beginner and slightly older learner he's been great at finding my level and guiding me to learn in a fun but challenging manner. One of the best hours of my week, every week."

— Rob L.

"He's a wonderful teacher: patient, knowledgeable, and able to make learning the piano truly joyful."

— Kira P.
