Taking lessons with Simon has been so great! He's really funny and smart and he teaches me ways to practice and think about music that you can't get from most teachers. He's also basically a genius when he plays so it's really inspiring when he shows how do to stuff :D

Simon is a world-class musician with a deep intellect and effortless technique. He has wonderful interpretive ideas and brings his full expertise of the instrument to every detail. Students from the absolute beginner to those more advanced would benefit from his philosophy of playing.

Simon is the best teacher I’ve had so far. I wanted to learn to play some Christmas songs for my family and he adjusted to my needs perfectly. We actually had a lot of fun! He’s not an easy teacher for sure and he pushes me to be better than I thought I could be, but sometimes if I’m busy I let him know and he keeps it low key. He also infuses his lessons with some music theory. It was always boring before and it’s actually really satisfying with him! I would definitely recommend Simon to anyone looking for an inspiring experience.

I started working with Simon on Music Theory a little over a year ago. He turned out to be an amazing personality match for me— he matches the effort I give, and he never seems to get tired of explaining things, even when I feel dumb asking. He’s demanding but positive, and is an incredible musician too! It’s a joy to get to work with him. I feel like I have a much better grasp on how music works thanks to his instruction.

Simon has been of a tremendous help the past two years. I was a little bit scared by music theory in general and my work with him has transformed it in one of my favourite topics! Simon is a very structured teacher. Demanding but very flexible and adaptable to the students needs. 200% recommand it if you want to overcomes your fears of music theory!
