I didn't quite know whether violin lessons were going to be fun or a struggle, especially starting as an adult learner. After the first lesson with John I knew it was going to be fun and I felt relaxed! John keeps explaining instructions in different ways until the penny drops! I think John is especially good at changing the sound of the student's playing by analysing the student's movements and correcting when necessary – within 5 minutes the sound that comes out of your fiddle could change a lot!
John has taught me regularly over the last 10 years, culminating in lessons as part of my music degree at Goldsmiths University. His lessons are always extremely insightful and fulfilling. I owe an awful lot of my technique and repertoire to John's brilliant teaching and playing.
John is an amazing fiddle player and inspirational teacher. He not only has a deep understanding of the music, but is incredibly skilled at bringing out the best of a musician, on a personal expressive and creative level, whilst improving technique and musicality.
A great workshop! Your easy style of teaching and tips on how to enhance the basic tunes made them accessible for the range of players who attended.
John is engaging and knowledgeable, with a great easy to follow teaching style. Above all though he is great fun!
John had listened to me, and taken me seriously, and that really, really mattered. His response to my question has changed the course of my playing.
