Mark Gutteridge

Mark is a teacher with humour, integrity and obvious skill- both in his mastery of piano and in his ability to teach. I started lessons as an adult and he managed to accommodate lessons around my rather hectic life as a surgeon. Despite a recent hiatus, I plan to return to him. I absolutely love my lessons and he provides an invaluable opportunity to relax and unwind whilst learning. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any future students.

I started lessons with Mark about 4 months ago as an adult beginner (23). I have throughly enjoyed my lessons with him and I can't recommend him highly enough!

I certainly recommend him to any adult wishing to fulfil their dream of being able to play or to improve.

Mark is an outstanding piano teacher to adults and children. He not only offers all the great things you'd expect (reliability, punctuality, quality of teaching and great materials) but he has a real love for music and teaching. My daughter has been going to classes at his home in Pimlico for a couple of years and really enjoys the learning environment. Mark was recommended to us by three different families who are also based in Pimlico with kids in Garden House, Newton Prep and Francis Holl...
