Testimonials

My son & I have lessons with Myles on a Sunday - we are both beginners, started in 2025. He is an absolutely fantastic teacher. Lessons are well structured to cover all the areas needed, and Myles uses modern science based teaching methods to help us get the best out of our practice time at home.

I'm so glad I chose to go to Seán at the Birmingham Piano and Music Studio when returning to piano playing after a gap of 45 years. He has inspired me to re-enter the exam system, which is challenging in itself. By combining importance for correct technique with praise for work well done alongside enthusiasm and fun, I've become a much better player and I am enjoying my practice immensely.
