Experienced piano Tutor at Sutton Music Centre with 15 years of playing experience.

Under Marcus, I got distinction grades in both ABRSM grade 5 and 6 in under 8months. He can very clearly teach advanced techniques, in very simple ways that are so easy for me as a student to learn, and I have been able to improve faster than ever.
He has a super fun approach to learning, which has been contagious and made me enjoy practising, which has never been the case before.
I have also learnt lots of finger techniques for help with practising my articulation and ways to use my body to help with dynamics. He really has so many different tips and tricks to learning the piano that other teachers I have had don't teach.

Marcus is such an amazing teacher. He helped improved my 7 year old son, Daniel from grade 1-3 in only 4 months, and has a wonderful approach to teaching. Marcus helped my son fix his incorrect, old technique, which old teachers did not address properly.

Marcus also implements a unique technique where he requires parents to watch lessons, to ensure that the parent will have an active role in your child's practise at home. During the lessons, Marcus will outline any problems, and clearly detail the problem to both child and parent, and then address how to practise at home, and importantly, quickly teach the parent how to help your child practise the problem at home, whilst hardly taking any time out of the lessons. This is something I have not seen other tutors do, and has truly made a difference in how my son has improved, but also has helped strengthen my bond with Daniel, as we spend more time with each other.

He brings stickers and soft toys and made my son have so much fun during the lesson by making him march on the spot and play catch with toys to learn the right rhythm. He truly helped my son learn so much faster than any other piano teacher in the past.

Marcus clearly has lots of experience in playing and teaching, and is evident in how much fun my son has had whilst learning in the last 4 months.
