Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Eloise is a wonderful teacher. She is professional and passionate about the bass, and while she has high expectations of her students, she is also caring, encouraging and supportive in equal measure. Eloise has a natural charm and is very good at picking up on her student's weaknesses as well as strengths. Eloise is an inspiration to my daughter, and I would recommend Eloise without question.
Eloise has a very warm and fun personality and her enthusiasm and attention to detail is very infectious. She has a very natural way of connecting with her students and is not afraid to challenge them to get the best out of them. She is an excellent communicator and very approachable. We also found that she picks up any problems with technique immediately and has a strong sense for getting the basics right first. She has a great way in encouraging her students that they can do anything if they want to. Eloise runs fantastic workshops too and you can tell that she truly loves the double bass and music in general.
Eloise is an excellent teacher who has helped our daughter to achieve a very standard of playing. She has exacting standards, a passion for excellence and great attention to detail as well as being a supportive teacher. She is highly recommended.
My daughter has benefited enormously from having Eloise as her double bass teacher. Eloise's knowledge of the instrument is superb and her teaching rigorous. She spends a lot of time thinking about how to help her students and goes to the extra trouble of arranging pupil concerts to give them an opportunity to perform. She is an excellent teacher.
