Testimonial "Just wanted to say how amazingly well our video lessons are working. Of course it's not the same as face to face lessons, but for me they have been easy to set up and I really appreciate the way I can play you my pieces without the technical difficulties of making a recording. Using video I can get your instant feedback and ask questions straight away as well as see and hear your demonstrations. Thank you for making it possible to really make progress despite the constraints of the Covid19 lockdown!"
