Liam Senior - Guitarist in Thought Explode

"I have always felt like a frustrated rock guitarist and always intended to learn to play. Under the patience and expert musical guidance of Simon at Sound Technique I am slowly realising a life long ambition."

Phil Hilditch - Headteacher of Davenham Primary School

"Since 1997 Si has been teaching me to play keyboard. Undoubtedly, his wit, charm and enormous musical talent have helped me to become the musician I am today. The energetic approach he has to music tuition has made it fun and easy to progress to Grade 8 on the keyboard."

Ed Hunt

"Being retired and the wrong side of fifty I decided to try and fulfill one of my boyhood dreams i.e. play the guitar. As ever, you have the option of teaching yourself or going the professional route. Fortunately when I searched the web I found Sound Technique. I started from zero music knowledge but with the expert professional tuition provided, which has been given in a friendly approachable manner, I have grown in confidence and ability. I still have some way to go, but it will continue to be with Sound Technique. If you want to learn to play a musical instrument, and want friendly, professional tuition, then look no further."

Mike Wright

"I've been playing guitar for eight years now, ever since I took up lessons in primary school. A couple of years later I changed teachers to Simon and started having lessons at Sound Technique once I began high school. Not only are the lessons great fun but you also learn loads at the same time. Playing guitar lets you take part in lots of activities in and out of school as well, and gives you something to talk about with new people. It also looks great on application forms for jobs and college, especially if you take some exams too, which is really easy to do at Sound Technique. I think the best thing about playing guitar is how many new people you get to meet through it, and how much fun it is on your own as well. There's no way I would have met so many people with my interests if it weren't for my lessons. Simon's a great teacher, you can learn new songs and techniques really easily in your lessons. You can also choose exactly what type of music you want to learn, or whether you want to play electric, classical, acoustic or bass. If you want to learn a song you really like, all you have to do is ask."

Rachel Jones

"Our three boys, Sam aged 13, Thomas aged 11, and Matthew aged 11 have had lessons with Simon and Gaz for a couple of years now and have loved every minute of it as well as becoming accomplished young musicians. They are learning guitar, piano and drums respectively, in which all three of them gained distinction in their last exams. This is without doubt down to the relaxed and fun approach which Simon and Gaz adopt in their teaching. As parents we are extremely grateful for what has been achieved."

Steve and Zoe Buckley

"I had always wanted to play a musical instrument and so when I was bequeathed a keyboard I thought now was the time. In many ways I thought I had left it too late, as I am 58 and have multiple sclerosis. However, in just over 18 months I have moved from being an absolute novice to being able to play, with much practice, many of my favourite tunes from Simon and Garfunkel to Frank Sinatra. None of this would have been possible without the help and particularly the patience of Simon Walker at Sound Technique."

Peter Caldwell O.B.E.

"I started keyboard lessons 5 years ago as an optimistic pensioner who thought it would be easy. The patience and encouragement I have received from a very friendly, knowledgeable and talented tutor, Simon, have given me the confidence to persevere and continue to improve. It proves that the right tuition can create a fascinating and interesting pastime."

Dorothy Gibson

"I had always wanted to be able to play the guitar and thanks to Simon and Gaz at Sound Technique I have grown in confidence and ability in every lesson that I've had. I have been helped through frustrating times under the expert musical guidance of both tutors and I am now enjoying playing the guitar more than ever and have progressed to Grade 6 level in only 2 years."
