Review Centre: Accompanists

"Gareth - thank you for preparing me for my grade 8 singing exam. You have me so many performing enhancing tips and gave me the confidence to sing out and get through the aural. This man is an amazing musician and lovely man as well. He plays in any style and key and makes you feel relaxed and special when you perform. I thoroughly recommend Gareth for any vocal or instrumental support - he is TRULY AMAZING !! "

"Gareth accompanied my son for his recent violin exam He makes the whole experience fun and had my nervous and grumpy son relaxed and laughing within minutes during the rehearsal I was stunned at what this GENIUS and gifted, talented accompanist and teacher was able to draw out of my son in so short a space of time. He even did work on the aural tests which had been previously refused at home or in lessons and my son achieved FULL marks in that section and a distinction overall !!! What more can I say ?!!! He was only predicted a pass and it was Gareth's skills and encouragement that brought out the BEST in the student. As an ex teacher I recognise Gareth's innate gift for enthusing and engaging the young mind and his accompaniment and musicianship skills are simply amazing. He was kind, helpful and exceptionally generous with his time staying for over DOUBLE the time for which we had paid to make sure my son was at ease with every aspect of the exam My son now wants to continue the violin, has been practising and has remembered all the performance techniques and nuances that Gareth has embued. ANY PARENT reading this looking for a superb and kind accompanist should look no further. Gareth thank you from Shawn and all of us. You are a genius !!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Alex play piano at our wedding, and he was fantastic from start to finish. He was so easy and relaxed to work with—completely stress-free. He quietly set up in the room and just did his thing, creating a beautiful atmosphere without needing any direction. Before the day, he asked us for a few of our favorite songs and thoughtfully included them in his playlist, which made everything feel so personal. The sound of the piano was stunning and added such a special touch to the whole day. We absolutely loved having Alex as part of our celebration and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for live music at their wedding. Book him—you won’t regret it!"

"Loved working with James. He's very professional and experienced. He'll easily handle pretty much anything you ask of him. He's played church services, weddings, funerals, classical and more contemporary concert material. Fabulous accompanist but also very talented conductor, orchestra and choir leader. Deep dark sense of humour! If you've read this far - he's your musician, book him."
