Tony Watterson Music Tuition

I found Tony in November via social media recommendations for my 9 year old son to start guitar lessons. Tony was really helpful in accommodating a slot for my busy schedule. Very fair price compared to others I had researched. My son had never played a guitar and has come on leaps and bounds thanks to Tony. He has enjoyed going to his weekly lessons and he describes Tony as patient, fun and kind he’s always excited to see what he’s going to learn next!

My son has been attending piano accordion lessons with Tony for 4 years. From the start Tony struck up a great relationship with him, taking him on a journey from absolute beginner. He is knowledgeable, professional and patient. He is able to challenge Eoin, and also take into account our own request to learn Irish music alongside a wide variety of other styles. He is flexible and has adapted to using Skype/zoom during the pandemic.

I have been having accordion lessons with Tony for around 7 years. When I first bought the instrument I tried to teach myself using a tutorial book, it didn't go very well. I started lessons with Tony and with the one to one tuition and detailed knowledge he has I made real progress. I have found that as you start to become able to play at one level there are always more intricate techniques that Tony introduces to help you progress to another level. Thank you Tony.

My son started lessons with Tony when he was seven, and we've been delighted. Tony is great with kids, patient, encouraging, and just challenging enough. He listens, and he adapts his lessons to what my son has done and what he wants to play. He gives great positive encouragement, and supportive criticism. I don't think my kid is going to become a superstar musician, so Tony's teaching is even more important: he's learning to play music and to love it.

Tony's guitar lessons for my 11 year son are inspiring, fun and professional. My son has improved massively and is looking forward to his weekly lessons. There is a good mix of challenging technical exercises and ,often chosen by my son, relevant musical pieces. Tony's communication is also excellent. He's also super patient when he knows my son hasn't practised enough!
