Simone is an amazing pianist and teacher! Highly recommend! I met Simone a few years ago and today he still keeps inspiring me!

Simone came highly recommended to us and started teaching my daughter since September 2019 when she was 5 years old and an absolute beginner. My daughter is now 7, she has achieved distinction in every ABRSM grade exams including a 148/150 in her grade 5 exam, and is about to take her Grade 7 exam following a distinction in grade 5 music theory. Exam results alone, however, do not do Simone justice as a music teacher. To my daughter, he is more like a musical idol. Her eyes would lit up when ...

I started piano lessons as an adult and for over a year Simone taught me patiently and professionally the basics so i could gradually play on my own. His teaching method was adequately tailored to support my nascent skills and help me progress with my new hobby.

Simone is a excellent teacher as well as a fabulous pianist. I've been having lessons from him almost 3 years as an adult learner. Whether covering basic technique or more advanced pieces Simone manages to teach with a deep sense of musicality and is always encouraging, positive and incredibly patient. Highly recommended.

There are music teachers and then there are exceptional music teachers. Having had several teachers over the years for my kids, I can only say that now my kids truly appreciate when an instrumental teacher is stand out. Simone ensures that they get the basic technical stuff right and then helps them to finesse the musicality of a piece. This is all done in a gentle and positive manner. A real bonus is when we hear him play - he is absolutely brilliant. I can't recommend him highly enough.
