Lakeside Piano Studio

I wholeheartedly recommend Julian to anyone who wants to play the piano. Having not played for a long time I started lessons with Julian last year. His patience, encouragement, extensive musical expertise and wonderful sense of humour make my piano lessons a highlight of my week. My confidence in playing has grown and technical skill is returning under Julian's guidance. More importantly, my love of playing has been rekindled. Julian has a way of understanding what each individual pupil ...

Julian is a very professional, gifted piano teacher, his teaching technique is brilliant and communication is great, he is also very encouraging to his student.

Julian is a wonderful teacher!

Not only this, he was able to guide me through my academic music studies at school - helping me through GCSE’s and also A Level music. He has impeccable attention to detail and always strived for me to achieve the best. I can only recommend Julian with the highest praise as he is such a gift...
