Summer 2008:

Welcome to my website. If you would like to arrange an informal chat about lessons, or would like advice on piano or singing lessons then please feel free to give me a call.

I am however working pretty much near to capacity at the moment, but I may be able to see new students who have flexible daytime availability. If you need an evening slot, do feel free to get in touch with me, and I can advise you further on future availability.

Thank you for your patience with me if I can't just fit you into your preferred slot at the moment.

Roger.

What The Students Say...

Jo

For the past two or three years I have been having advanced level piano lessons with Roger on a regular basis.

Not having had lessons for a while before this I was unsure of what sort of progress I would make, and have been really pleased with the rate at which my playing has improved.

Roger's clear and direct approach means that I am always absolutely aware of the areas that I need to work on between lessons.

I find that this provides me with the challenges that I need to make good progress, and that Roger is always very affirming of the work that I put in.

I would recommend Roger to anyone as a really good quality teacher, who knows how to get the best he can from his students.

I only started having piano lessons with Roger this year in January but since then I have found that my playing has really improved!

He is encouraging me to take Grade 8, and so I have started working on those pieces, scales and aural tests.

Roger is great in the way he builds your confidence as a performer, and improves your technique. I always enjoy my lessons, even when practising scales!

I'm sure that whatever your ability as a piano player or singer, Roger will help you to progress and have lots of fun along the way!

When I first started singing lessons I had very little confidence, and was afraid to sing in front of anyone.

Grade 5 and a Christmas concert later, I can say that my confidence has grown, and though I still get nervous, I enjoy singing in front of people now.

I spent years wishing I could sing and making excuses to myself for not doing anything about it.

What a waste of time all that was!

Eventually I persuaded myself to give it a go and have been attending lessons with Roger for nearly a year now.

I still have much to learn but I know I can sing.

Roger is patient, helpful and truly professional - in short an excellent teacher.

Kimberley

I have had singing lessons with Roger since March 2007 and my confidence has really grown.

Although I have been involved with performing on stage for a few years, it was always in a group or chorus line. I needed to gain confidence with my singing and Roger has helped me achieve this.

Lessons are always fun, and I can choose the songs I sing with guidance from Roger on suitability and difficulty. It is very relaxed and great fun, and I always look forward to my weekly lesson.

Dave

I have been developing my singing ability with Roger for about a year now.

I have found him to be an excellent singing teacher as well as becoming a friend. He has helped my singing develop in both variety and range.

I intend to continue to learn with him for the foreseeable future and will be taking the diploma in musical theatre in July 2008.

I have no hesitation in recommending him to any budding students looking for singing lessons.

Emma

My singing has improved massivly after having singing lessons with Roger!

I never really had confidence and as all of his singing students will say the lessons have made a huge impact on mine and their performance!

It might seem like half an hour once a week wouldn't make a real difference but it has!

If anyone is thinking about starting i would fully recommend going because rogers lessons have really improved my voice so why not yours...?!

Ellie

I started taking singing lessons with Roger about a year and a half ago, during that time he has helped me to develop my voice from a timid breathy tone, to a tuneful, strong soprano.

Not only that but my confidence of singing in public at concerts, and taking exams has improved vastly!
