Norfolk Viola and Violin lessons for adults

Mathew is a great teacher for the adult beginner. He shows patience, empathy, and commitment, and is flexible around the student's needs. I would highly recommend Mathew to anyone wanting to learn the violin or viola as a late starter.

Mathew gave me a dantastic grounding in the violin. He taught with immense patience, and made every lesson enjoyable. I still play the violin regularly, and he has enabled me in a skill and enjoyable hobby for life.

I had lessons on the violin while I was at school. Mathew was a fun teacher, and I remember him as always smiling. I made some really good progress with him, so he must have been a great teacher!

Mathew was a really great violin teacher. He taught me throughout my school years, and lessons with him were one of the highlights if my week. Anyone who learns with him is a very lucky person!

Mathew gave me violin lessons for about seven years while I was at school. He took me through grade eight and beyond. He was a fun teacher, and certainly knew what he was doing to achieve the best out of all the students he taught. I still play my violin regularly, and owe that to Mathew.

I began violin lessons with Mathew as an adult beginner a number of years ago. Due to his excellent teaching, my progress was both fast and fulfilling. Since moving away, I have not yet found a teacher of his calibre to continue learning with!

Mathew proved to be a patient and inspiring teacher for my son, particularly the more difficult teenage years. My son is now an adult, and music is still a big part of his life, all thanks to Mathew!

My three children all had lessons with Mathew, at some stage in tgeir musical development. With each, he managed to select the most appropriate style for their learning and managed to ignite enthusiasm for playing their instrument. He also encouraged them to attend local ensembles, and in doing so, gave them performance and social opportunities they would otherwise possibly have never experienced. From our experiences, he was a person who has a generous and caring nature, was highly empathetic to an individuals needs, and a thoroughly nice teacher to be taught by.

I had viola lessons for a number of years with Mathew. The lessons were always fun, well prepared, and gave me motivation to keep improving my playing. I would recommend Mathew highly as a viola teacher!

Mathew was a patient and understanding teacher, who adapted his teaching style very much according to my needs. As a result, my playing and confidence in my ability both improved enormously!
