Testimonials


"Mrs Hardy's unfailing encouragement and calm positive guidance make for thoroughly enjoyable piano lessons. The grade 6 ABRSM pass with distinction was just the icing on the cake!" (Mrs S Rawski)


"In the 4 years that Janet has taught my daughter she has taken a genuine interest in the progress that she makes. She shows support in areas that need extra focus." (Beth Clerkin)


"Mrs Hardy taught my daughter Jessica via school for three years. The lessons weren't long, only half an hour, but she managed to guide Jessica successfully through Grade 1 and are now working towards Grade 2.  My son Finley is in Year 2 and started lessons a few months ago -  he's always proud to demonstrate what he's learnt and he even enjoys practising. Jessica and Finley really enjoyed her lessons with Mrs Hardy and will miss her." (Denise Cow)


"I have really enjoyed my piano lessons with Janet. I have come to piano lessons finally, after many years thinking about it and am so glad I did! Janet has given me the confidence and skills that I needed to get me going. She also has lots of patience - which is good, particularly with me! She is so encouraging and I am desperately sad that she is leaving. Her next pupils are in for a treat, I cannot recommend her highly enough." (Di Kennedy)
