Katy has been my piano and singing teacher for 5 years. She has helped me progress through the grades in both from starting at grade 5 and in just a short time we have worked up to grade 7 in piano and grade 8 in singing. But her biggest strength is her commitment to making her students the best they can possibly be.
She looks for every angle to further technique and encourage improvement with more exercises than one could possibly imagine so that together in your lessons you always feel that sense of achievement. She’s never short of a kind and encouraging word but doesn’t hesitate to push you further than you could believe. In our time together, Katy has built up my confidence in my abilities helping push my performance capabilities far beyond where I could see them going.
Katy has improved my ability for the better and I look forward to every lesson knowing they will be fun and informative week after week.

Katy has been a brilliant teacher and has guided me on my singing journey. Over the years I have noticed a lot of positive changes with my singing, some subtle and some bigger shifts. Katy always puts me at ease, makes me laugh and our lessons are lots of fun and she even manages to make music theory fun! With her help I got a grade 4 merit and am now working towards grade 5. Katy loves to explore different genres and together we have worked on musical theatre, pop and even some opera!

Katy is my fourth piano teacher and she is by far the best. She motivates me to want to do better but somehow manages to challenge me in such a gentle and kind way. I look forward to every lesson.
With Katy's help I got my grade 1 but our recent progress has meant I am now preparing for grade 3. I have really enjoyed improving in my technique and my performance and have been exploring playing fast scale passages and more expressive phrases.

Katy is a very helpful teacher who always pushes and encourages me to do my best and her lessons are very intuitive. She helps me with my posture, hand and finger positions and how to adapt the feeling and sensitivity of each piece. I have been having piano lessons with Katy for 3 years now.
When I started with her, I hadn’t taken any grade exams and with her tuition and guidance she has helped me pass grade 2 in piano and now I am working towards grade 3. I feel that now, I can play more confidently and with more emotion.
From here, I have really developed a passion for music and I really enjoy looking forward to playing piano rather than it being like a chore. I love playing piano and that is down to Miss Huntley. I am really thankful to Katy as she brings out the best in me and my performance.
