« I met Mae earlier this year . I run inspirational music workshops, and it was my privilege to recently share one of these with Mae. It was incredibly good fun, and everyone in the group loved her ... actually it`s impossible not too !! As a creative musician i am always open to new learning experiences , so i booked a series of lessons with Mae, one for piano and two singing ones. They have been an absolute joy ! Mae is great company. She is warm and welcoming, and makes every effort to plan her lessons to suit individual student needs, by drawing from her extensive repertoire of fun and informative techniques . I highly recommend Mae to your students. »
