Testimonials
"Max has developed a love for piano for our three girls, as he balances music that they know and want to learn to play with preparing them for pieces for grading. He finds the right balance between enjoying playing and practicing more formal pieces. He is punctual, reliable, and has a positive attitude to all things. Highly recommend."
"Max is a fantastic piano teacher. I have been learning for a month now and with Max's patient yet attentive teaching I am doing much better now then I imagined. It's also great to know you are learning from someone who is very skilled themselves. I happily and highly recommend Max if you're interested in learning the piano."
"Max has been an absolutely wonderful piano teacher for my two boys (ages 4 and 8). He is incredibly patient. professional and explains concepts in a way that is very clear and easy for them to understand.
Over the past year I've seen a real boost in both of their interest in music and their confidence in playing the piano. What's been especially impressive is that they now practice regularly on their own without any prompting, which really shows how much Max has inspired and engaged them.
He creates a supportive and approachable learning environment, which makes a big difference, especially for younger children. Highly recommend him to any parents looking for a dedicated and engaging piano teacher!
"I started lessons with Max as an adult beginner with no previous musical experience. Max is an accomplished pianist in his own right, but he is also a patient, encouraging and inspiring teacher. He has an ability to explain principles clearly while making sure his students develop good technique and solid fundamentals from the beginning.
I was initially nervous about learning the piano as an adult, but Max has quickly given me confidence and made the lessons enjoyable. I have progressed much further than expected in such a relatively short time. I would highly recommend Max to anyone considering learning the piano."
Max has been teaching my son (10 years old) remotely since last year and has been excellent. My son has developed his technical skills rapidly and has grown in independence and confidence. Max is patient, encouraging and has an amazing ear (no difference to having in-person lessons and much easier for us to manage!) I highly recommend Max for all learners.
I restarted piano with Max in late 2025 after a few years away and he's been excellent. Preparing for a higher AMEB grade, I've found him patient, professional and genuinely supportive, with practical strategies for both technical challenges and musicality. Lessons are always enjoyable. Highly recommend.
