Testimonials

If you want to know what my students (or parents) say about me, read on:

"My daughter has learning difficulties (Down's syndrome) but that didn't deter Ceinwen. Not only can my daughter now play some simple tunes, but she is also learning music theory, which I would never have thought possible. She has just passed her pre prep exam with 79% after only one year of lessons and can now read music with confidence. Beware - Ceinwen's enthusiasm is contagious!"
Pat from Solihull

Piano pupil with certificate

"I am 16 years old and music hasn't always been that easy for me - that is until I started getting lessons from Ceinwen. I have improved so much in such a short time and every lesson leaves me with a smile on my face. Ceinwen always looks for ways to make you learn things at your own pace, providing all the additional help you need. I have taken two step exams this year both of which I passed with distinctions. I have had other music teachers before but none of them were as supportive, enthusiastic or as funny as Ceinwen."
Masarat from Shirley aged 16

"Ceinwen teaches both my 8 and 12 year old boys to play and is skilled at keeping them motivated (no easy task!). It must cost her a fortune in stickers alone for my youngest! They like the brain training challenges, she keeps the lessons fun and fast paced and I'm very pleased with the progress they are both making."
Vicky from Shirley

"I couldn't ask for a better piano teacher! Ceinwen's passion for the piano is inspirational; and her friendliness and enthusiasm has made learning the piano most enjoyable. Furthermore, Ceinwen is sympathetic to each individual's learning needs. She has helped me far surpass my own expectations."
Simon from Birmingham aged 31

"Our daughter is 5 years old and has recently started piano lessons using the dogs and birds method. Ceinwen splits the 30 minute lesson into various sections of clapping, singing, playing and note writing. Ceinwen provides a workbook to monitor progress and highlight routines which our daughter practices daily in preparation for her next lesson. Our daughter really looks forward to the lesson and loves collecting the reward stickers Ceinwen uses to encourage her."
Ian from Solihull

"My name is Rob. I am 65 years old and twelve months ago I couldn't read a word of music. Now I look forward to my Thursday morning music lesson. I can't believe I am working towards taking my Step One piano exam. Ceinwen has a very good approach to us 'old folk'. She has lots of patience and makes the lessons fun. Thank you Ceinwen for all your encouragement."
Rob from Shirley

I was forbidden music lessons as a child because I had to do extra maths (crazy I know); and finally at 55 have begun to learn the piano with Ceinwen.  I am unimaginably nervous, but Ceinwen's outgoing personality, encouragement, and the sheer enjoyability of lessons means I am making progress.  I have recently passed my step one piano exam and I am looking forward to working towards grade 1.
