Name of the person who provided this testimonial: Tommy
Barry has been extremely helpful in giving our son Ryan the confidence and capability to sit and subsequently pass with distinction, his recent RGT Preliminary examination. Barry's positive attitude, encouragement and patience, along with his obvious knowledge and technical ability had a huge influence on Ryan's positive examination result. Ryan thoroughly enjoys each and every one of his lessons with Barry and we are extremely grateful for his continual time and excellent teaching. With Barry's ongoing support we are sure that Ryan will continue to enjoy his lessons, and maintain the confidence to reach higher levels of technical competence.

I found Barry’s teaching style exactly right for me. He gets you into playing real tunes quickly and makes the theory side fun and understandable. He is also a very accomplished player himself which I found inspired me to want to get that 'next level'.
