Testimonials
As an established music teacher with 20 years experience, I have successfully taught many people. Here are some comments from some of my valued students parents:
Jim is professional, committed and approachable music teacher, who combines high standards of teaching skills with an informal teaching style that is very appropriate for the needs of young music students. Over the last two years, he has successfully developed my son's keyboard skills, being particularly supportive in preparing him for his first formal music examination. My son looks forward to his music lesson every week!”

My son has been taught keyboard by Jim for a number of years and describes his teaching qualities as patient, kind and thoughtful. He says "for instance, if I want to learn to play a particular tune, Mr O'Neil will often look for that music or listen to it and bring the score along with him for the next lesson which is great." From my view as a parent, he has engendered my son's enthusiasm for playing whilst ensuring he puts in the work for his grades! Both of us have no hesitation in recommending Jim's work.”
