Testimonials

WHAT MY STUDENTS SAY

“I'm in my second year of lessons with Mark. Each lesson has been thoroughly enjoyable and my piano playing has improved no end. I would highly recommend."
Carole
"I was somewhat apprehensive about starting piano lessons so late in life (I am 75).

However I have found Mark to be an excellent teacher - exactly the type I need who won't let me get away with being lazy at the piano.

He is patient and extremely knowledgeable and obviously adapts the lessons to each pupils ability. I would very strongly recommend him to anyone."
Terry
“Mark is a great teacher He is enthusiastic, passionate and has a sense of humour to keep things light and engaging. He has so much knowledge and wisdom to share and is a natural teacher, allowing the classes to flow naturally and with variety.

He is able to match the classes and content effortlessly to my level. I feel blessed to have found him."
Anna Louise
What can I say. Mark Stawman is the most talented, encouraging and patient piano teacher. My daughter has had him as her teacher since she was 5 years’ old and she has achieved excellent results and fostered her love of the piano and music more widely through her lessons with Mark.

She began with in-person lessons in England but, with Mark now located in Spain, now has online lessons and that change has worked seamlessly.
Rhiannon
“Mark has been teaching my son Sam for over 10 years, starting when Sam was just 6 years old. When Mark moved to Spain, we continued with lessons via Skype as we could not imagine Sam wanting to continue lessons with anyone else.

I would throughly recommend lessons with Mark, he is patient, friendly, supportive and encouraging. Sam has grown into a very competent pianist under Mark's guidance, a gift for life."
Jan
"My son moved to Mark just a few months ago. He was not confident and considering giving up playing but has been completely turned around

He has rediscovered his enjoyment and is always happy and positive after every lesson he has with Mark and looks forward to the next one. It is lovely to see and we are delighted with the change."
Sarah
“Mark is currently teaching piano to 3 members of our family. My eldest son (10) has been studying with Mark for 4 years – initially in Leeds and now via Skype since Mark moved to Spain. He enjoys his lessons with Mark and we have been delighted by his progress and the high exam marks he has achieved.

My youngest son (7) has been studying piano with Mark for 1.5 years, all lessons via skype, and is also making good progress. Having seen how much the children enjoy their lessons, my husband (45) has now also recently started piano lessons via skype with Mark and has been very impressed with the lessons.

We highly recommend Mark as a piano teacher. He is enthusiastic, extremely patient, readily adapts his lessons to the students needs, and is able to relate and encourage his students across a wide age range.."

Most adult beginners develop basic skills within 3-6 months of consistent practice. The timeline depends on your goals, practice frequency, and commitment.

Absolutely not. It’s never too late to learn piano.

 

Research shows that adults of all ages—including those in their 60s, 70s, and 80s—can learn piano and gain significant cognitive and emotional benefits.

 

Your brain maintains its ability to learn throughout life through neuroplasticity, which is your brain’s ability to form new connections.

Learning piano at any age stimulates this process and keeps your brain active and healthy.
