TESTIMONIALS:

[Terry] is a wonderful teacher with an easy manner & personable approach.  His knowledge & technical ability has always had our son in awe of him, and completely driven to improve & work on whatever Terry suggests.  Much of what [our son] has been inspired by was introduced to him by Terry.  He is now 16 and working on Charlie Parker transcriptions.

We have always found Terry to be punctual, professional and interested in our son's progress.  His experience in improvisation has been really beneficial to our son during Jazz Saxophone exams. 5 stars from us!

Terry was highly recommended to us as a music teacher  just under a year ago from Wessex Music in Sherborne. I have two daughters who are both being taught by Terry. One plays the flute, and the other the clarinet. They both really enjoy their lessons and are progressing well towards grade 1. He is always professional and very understanding.
