Clarinet, saxophone, recorder and theory teacher

Paul taught me recorder, clarinet, and choral singing between the ages of 7 and 13, and I began learning each of these instruments with him. During his teaching, I achieved merits or distinctions in ABRSM exams, and later went on to reach Grade 8 in clarinet. Paul is highly skilled at these instruments and also encouraged me to perform, both in groups and with piano accompaniment. I feel very fortunate to have had Paul as a teacher. His care for both music and his pupils is evident in his teaching style. He quickly notices when something isn’t quite right and explains things patiently and clearly. I would happily recommend him to anyone starting (or looking to progress in) their musical journey, especially children.

Paul is a very passionate, dedicated teacher, with a gift for imparting knowledge and confidence in a gentle, non-confrontational manner. He is patient and humorous and truly loves people and his subject. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a tutor.

Paul created a warm atmosphere which helped me develop musically. He was patient and kind when I was tough on myself for not getting things right which allowed me to keep working on my technique and ultimately my love of music. When I first met Paul I couldn’t place a full piece of music confidently and now I can. I have the tools to play clarinet fluently and the patience to trust myself.

Paul is highly recommended. An incredible teacher, who quickly sees the strengths and weaknesses with his pupils, creating confidence in their ability and supporting them and encouraging them to develop. He works with all levels and excels in attending their ability, whilst enjoying the experience.

A very good tutor taught All three of my girls youngest now 24 and learning opera .. Paul has endless patience and can interact with all ages even though my girls have moved on in life they still talk of the joy of lessons with mr Engleheart..

I have had music theory lessons with Paul for a few years now and he is very good and patient. He is also very adaptable, encouraging and is great at breaking down any areas I struggle with, adapting the lesson as we go keeping my learning difficulties in mind. I always look forward to the lesson. Would highly recommend.

Genuinely the most patient and knowledgeable of musicians you could hope to learn from. Paul will undoubtedly provide you with as good a breadth of repertoire as he did me, and you will see continuous improvement in your musicality session by session.
