At the age of 74yrs I decided to try and learn to read music and play the piano;
a long held ambition! I have been very fortunate to find Emily (Askew) to teach me. She is a very gifted musician, with a lovely sparkly personality, which makes every lesson a real pleasure.Her patience, enthusiasm and never ending encouragement means that I look forward to every lesson. It`s great fun!"
PeterEmily teaches the recorder to my 10 year old son and my 8 year old daughter. She took them on as beginners and having guided through Grades 1 and 2 in less than 2 years, is now preparing them for Grade 3. She is an excellent teacher: kind but firm and very enthusiastic which my children have found infectious. She is always punctual, polite and very flexible in arranging lessons and accompanists for exams. I cannot recommend her highly enough - I found her on the Tutor Pages and she is truly a great find!
Teaching a 4 year old can be difficult, but Emily is very engaging and manages to ensure that our daughter stays focused for the full 30 minute lesson.
The teaching resources she uses are geared to youngsters and Emily makes sure that our daughter revisits what she learned the previous week and then moves on to a new task.
Overall we are very happy and our daughter has already taken a real shine to Emily. Highly recommendedSee more recommendations
