ABERDEEN MUSIC TUITION

TESTIMONIALS

“I have been a pupil of Yvonne’s for piano lessons for some time.  I have found her to be a very competent teacher, who explains things in an easily-understood manner.  She has boundless patience!  Yvonne has a very pleasant manner and makes you feel relaxed at the keyboard.”  J.Webster

“At the age of 40 I decided that I’d take up Bass. I took lessons from Rod and he helped me achieve my Grade 1 through 3 on the Rockschool exam syllabus. His knowledge and expertise on the Bass was invaluable in helping me to achieve this. I would go back to him for grade 4 lessons in a heartbeat providing I had more time to commit to the correct amount of practice. His knowledge aside he’s an exceedingly pleasant and helpful bloke who will spend a lot of effort encouraging his students. Very highly recommended.” Chris D

“I began piano lessons with Yvonne with some trepidation as it had been years since I had last played and I was a bit nervous about starting up again as a twenty something! Straight away, Yvonne made me feel at ease and tailored the lessons to my level. She was really accommodating with any music that I wanted to learn, whether it be exam pieces or music I was interested in, and was encouraging and patient. Yvonne helped me pass two exams over two years and was always there to offer me extra lessons or support when I needed it. A great teacher!” Francesca S

“As a former student of Rod (bass tutor) and Yvonne (piano) I highly recommend them for their excellent teaching skills and professionalism. It is very clear by their teaching that they are both incredibly passionate and talented. I received bass lessons from Rod for 3 years and his expertise and years of playing and teaching experience guided me to an A grade in my advanced higher music alongside instilling a passion for funk and Motown music and improvising.” Connor H

“Rod taught me bass for several years from when I first started to Grade 6. He’s easily the best musician I’ve had the pleasure of playing with and his teaching style really reflects this, would highly recommend to anyone starting bass lessons at any level.” T. Fraser

“We would wholeheartedly recommend Rod Stewart as a tutor for the bass guitar. Our teenage son took lessons with him for two years before we had to leave Aberdeen. Rod was always professional, enthusiastic and encouraging. He achieved a good balance in his lessons, improving technique whilst also working on songs which our son wanted to play, as well as introducing him to a wide range of styles of music. As a result, our son was always motivated and keen to improve!” C. Nolan

“Having mucked about on bass for 20 years with no formal lessons I contacted Rod to try and unpick my bad habits and help me move from playing along with tabs to being able to properly play and improvise myself. Rod’s patience and support were key to giving me the confidence to jam with friends and create rather than stick to the music that others had written. I could not have asked for a more friendly and helpful tutor to let me find my own pace to learn and keep me constantly interested by mixing up technical skills practice with learning different basslines across 70 years of musical history.” Andrew M

“Rod is a really motivational, patient and professional bass guitar instructor who worked with my son Nick to prepare him for his Higher Music Performing Exam. Rod used feedback from Nick’s Prelim Exam to help him improve his technical skills and confidence, ensuring that he was well-equipped for the final exam.” Gail

“A wonderful music school where nothing is ever too much trouble.  Yvonne always goes above and beyond and is totally approachable for both parent and pupil, would highly recommend.” J. Rennie

“Although I have a musical background, I am just starting out to learn piano for the first as I approach retirement! Having started with a few YouTube videos, I felt I needed some face to face lessons to make sure I didn’t develop bad habits, and hopefully learn some good ones - and I am so glad I took the plunge! Yvonne came highly recommended by a local music store and it’s easy to see why. She is super helpful and encouraging and was able to make the lessons relevant to what I was wanting to do, which in my case was to work out accompaniments for my own musical compositions, which until now have been mainly guitar and voice based. Whatever level or indeed age you are, I would say that a course of lessons from Aberdeen Music Tuition is a great investment.” Bill
