Tony Watterson Music Tuition

So I started playing in February and thought I would teach myself, but after a couple of months I would find someone to help with the theory aspect of it. Along came Tony and in the 4 or 5 lessons (weekly) I have had since he's made the process a lot smoother and gave me a lot of handy hints and ways to improve as well as a more structured idea of where to go next along the process of learning guitar. As well as a good experienced teacher and someone to smoothen out the process, he's also a gent and couldn't be a nicer person, couldn't recommend him anymore.

I started taking Accordion lessons with Tony just under a year ago and the progress I have made is amazing. He isn't scary like alot of teachers can be and keeps you motivated to keep working hard. He also tailors your lessons to what you want to achieve. I'm a studying actor and am wanting to play my instrument on stage. Therefore my lessons have been focused on passing my exams for my CV and learning to play traditional music from different nations! He has tailored my lessons to my goals and he will do the same for yours. I can't recommend him enough.

I found Tony in November via social media recommendations for my 9 year old son to start guitar lessons. Tony was really helpful in accommodating a slot for my busy schedule. Very fair price compared to others I had researched. My son had never played a guitar and has come on leaps and bounds thanks to Tony. He has enjoyed going to his weekly lessons and he describes Tony as patient, fun and kind hes always excited to see what hes going to learn next!

My son started lessons with Tony when he was seven, and we've been delighted. Tony is great with kids, patient, encouraging, and just challenging enough. He listens, and he adapts his lessons to what my son has done and what he wants to play. He gives great positive encouragement, and supportive criticism. I don't think my kid is going to become a superstar musician, so Tony's teaching is even more important: he's learning to play music and to love it.

Having seen Tony perform at the North Staffs Accordion Club he was my first choice of teacher. I had been playing the accordion for about 2 years and was keen to learn how to accompany a singer, improve my bass playing and develop performance confidence. Tony has excellent technical ability with a range of instruments and a lifetime of performance and entertainment expertise. His teaching is modelled according to my needs which I regard as an important skill for the teaching of adults. He delights in helping to progress my personal choice of music and aspirations. He has patience, is generous with his time, instils confidence and puts me at ease. He gives clear instruction and provides interesting pieces for improving skills. I very much enjoy his lessons which are good fun as well as effective instruction. I feel I have made progress and have started to perform on a regular basis. I have no hesitation in recommending Tony as a teacher of a range of instruments to all ages. His Skype lessons have been invaluable during lockdown and are an enjoyable highlight of the week. Thank you Tony!
