Marycliff Piano Lessons

Review of Skype piano Lessons 22/8/20 Piano lessons using Skype have exceeded my expectations After Covid 19 lockdown I was thrilled to able to resume lessons with Clifford using the newly developed Skype Studio. I have been having traditional lessons at Marycliff Piano Lessons since October 2017 where the standard of teaching is of very high quality. Initially I was a little sceptical about Skype lessons, thinking they could never be as effective and enjoyable as traditional face-to face lessons. I am delighted to say that my progress has continued at the same rate. In fact I have found that this format helps you to concentrate better, and you seem to get more done in the lesson. When Clifford is demonstrating a technique or playing a piece of music, the cameras focuses in very closely on the keyboard so that you can see and understand very clearly. A floating camera also gives me a birds-eye view of the keyboard and it can zoom in closely on the hands or on the musical score. The picture and the sound quality is surprisingly good, as if I am there in the music room. The opportunity to continue with the lessons is a huge bonus for me and I can recommend this facility to any potential pupils. Charlotte ( Adult learner since October 2017)

As a mature aged student in my 80s I never thought I will ever be able to learn to play Piano and find someone who has patience to teach an old fellow. During COVID lockdown I approach Clifford Evans in Ipswich UK he was delighted to give me lessons online on ZOOM, although we are miles apart I live in Sydney Australia with a time difference of 10 hours doesnt matter. Clifford is very polite with patience of Jonah he is very methodical. His approach is simple; lessons are tailor made for each student. I am immensely satisfied and thoroughly enjoy the lessons. I am fulfilling a lifetime dream to learn to read music and play. I am an Accountant working from home; it means I can work at my own pace and in my own home without interrupting other commitments.

My 9 year old son was extremely keen to learn the piano and has been having lessons with Maryvonne for over 2 years . She has a wonderful ,gentle and inspiring way of teaching . Maryvonne has taken his initial enthusiasm and developed it into a real love of music. This is so important at this young age and means that he will continue to play as he gets older . What a wonderful teacher ,my son loves his lessons !

My 10 year old son has been having piano lessons with Maryvonne for almost a year now. He was quite nervous to begin with but Maryvonne put him at ease with a reassuring and calm approach. He is now reading music and really enjoying playing, especially the Christmas carols. I would definitely recommend.
