“I loved working with Sinclair. He is professional, personable and talented. He works wonderfully with all students individually and in groups, identifying and nurturing talent in all his students. He communicates beautifully with parents and has excellent attention to detail. Sinclair would arrange entertaining presentation evenings at the end of a semester showcasing the students and their work. These evenings were very much appreciated by the parents.”

“Sinclair is the perfect mix of fun and professional. Piano lessons are one of the highlights of my 15 year old daughter’s week. She has absolute confidence in the way Sinclair has prepared her for exams…taking her from a passing grade to back to back distinctions. Sinclair really listens to her and tailors the lessons to her needs.”

“Sinclair has taught my year six daughter piano since she was she was in year two. She has always enjoyed going to piano lessons with him, as he is very relatable and makes the class fun. She has thrived under his relaxed tutoring and I would highly recommend him.”

“I cannot recommend Sinclair’s singing lessons highly enough. Over the course of four years, singing lessons with Sinclair strengthened my vocal abilities quickly and healthily, and brought my confidence in my singing to a level I never thought I’d have. He approaches his students with the utmost professionalism and musical wisdom, and with incredible warmth and humanity. Like Sinclair, I come from a background of classical musical training through all eight AMEB grades; I am more than able to vouch for his talent for teaching and his deft skill.”

Now his younger brother also enjoys learning piano lessons with Sinclair. He knows how to encourage and support his students, to get the best out of them! Strongly recommend this passionate piano teacher!“

“Sinclair is a great piano teacher as he is not only fun but he works collaboratively with me. He is able to work and teach at my pace and level of learning. I always look forward to having my lessons with Sinclair, they are engaging whilst also improving and expanding my skills.”
– Student (2022)
“Sinclair is a truly wonderful piano teacher. We have lessons for both my son (8yo) and daughter (11yo). Both kids look forward to their lessons with Sinclair and genuinely have fun. They leave with smiles on their faces and my son has asked twice whether he can have multiple lessons a week! Sinclair relates so well with the kids and makes an effort to get to know who they are as people and what makes them tick. He is an incredibly talented pianist and considers carefully what teaching approach he employs. We made the switch to Sinclair after paying for lessons at school. My son had been learning piano for two years prior to Sinclair and was ready to give up. He now plays on the piano daily without being asked – simply because he enjoys ‘tinkling’ away. He loves to show us what he is learning each week and basks in our delight of his ability. His piano playing has improved dramatically and continues to improve. His lessons with Sinclair have undoubtedly been the catalyst for this change. We are really grateful to Sinclair and can’t speak of him highly enough!“
