My Testimonials

I have known George for about four years and have found him to be totally honest and trustworthy. Over the past few months he has been teaching me to play the Alto Saxophone. He has a great depth of knowledge together with patience and understanding. He corrects my errors and faults in a sympathetic manner and praises and encourages my understanding of music and the playing of the saxophone. I would without hesitation recommend him to others that are looking for a tutor. - Phil Thorns,Colchester philip.thorns@ntlworld.com |
