"Charlotte and James' piano lessons with Natalia have moved online in the last few months and are going extremely well. Being able to continue lessons while visits to the house are not possible is essential and both children continue to make progress. Natalia is even able to keep an eye on scale fingerings - there's no hiding even when she is not in the room!"

Lizzie Calfe

"My son loves his remote recorder lessons. He has made great progress and really looks forward to seeing his teacher on Skype every week." 

Amy D. 

"Both Hume (7) and Loulou (5) have really enjoyed their online lessons with Istvan. They are happy and relaxed to take their lessons beside the iPad and seem as enthusiastic about the lessons as they did when he was coming to the house. They are looking forward to seeing him again in real life but he has done a brilliant job to keep them going during lockdown. They even (occasionally!) go to the piano to practice of their own accord between lessons."

Dolly Sedman

"We feel extremely lucky to have found Istvan to be our children's piano teacher four years ago now. The enthusiasm, fun and caring and flexible approach he brings to every lesson is so important - particularly with our youngest, who has some additional needs. Istvan excels in fostering a love of playing and enthusiasm for practice, skilfully blending working on exam material with other music and keeping it fun. So much so that Dad decided to learn too!

The move to online lessons has worked extremely well. We work with an iPad propped up beside our keyboard, and you soon forget that Istvan isn't physically there in the room. We are more than happy to recommend Istvan and Rondo Music, and have done so to friends already!"

Testimonials for lessons at home and at school 

“Natalia has been a wonderful teacher who has taught both my sons since they started on the recorder at the age of 6. With Natalia's expert guidance, patience and tuition, both my sons now enjoy the challenge of playing brass instruments. They have always loved their lessons and have made excellent progress in their musical ability and understanding. Inspired by Natalia, my oldest son plays the French horn and achieved Grade 4 at the end of primary school. He is now loves playing in the school symphony orchestra at secondary school. My younger son plays the trumpet and has passed his grade 4 exam.”

"My daughters’ piano practice has progressed drastically in a short period of time under the guidance of Istvan. He is an encouraging teacher who wants to achieve the best from his pupils." 

Jo T.

“Natalia at Rondo Music has been teaching my daughter piano since the age of seven. Natalia has always been incredibly patient with her and has made the lessons fun and enjoyable. She is very good at building confidence in young pupils and my daughter has made excellent progress in Grade exams. Twice a year Natalia and Istvan organise concerts at which the students play. This gives them valuable experience of performing in front of an audience.” 

Lynda D.

"Istvan combines a wonderful ability to relate to children; helping them to enjoy playing the piano, while improving their technical ability. Over the last two years, Istvan has been a great piano tutor for our 10 year old daughter. She looks forward to every lesson and we are grateful to Istvan for being such an enthusiastic and absolutely committed tutor."

Mr & Mrs McHugh

“Natalia teaches both my daughters recorder and they love it. I find them playing by themselves without me having to nag them to practice, which can only be a good thing!” 

Isabel D. S.

“Natalia has instilled in my son a real love for music and has given him a fantastic grounding in the subject. She has challenged him to push himself whilst always making lessons fun and enjoyable.”

Mr & Mrs Dawson

"My daughter has been learning piano with Natalia for several years and we couldn't be happier. Now she passed her Grade 6, she has learned to play with confidence and strong technique and has also enjoyed her lesson time with Natalia, who is unfailingly kind, supportive and professional. We heartily recommend her for pupils of any age or level."

Mr & Mrs McInnes

“Natalia is an incredibly supportive, kind and nurturing teacher who has successfully guided my daughter through her piano practical exams and her Grade 5 theory; she is now about to take her Grade 6 piano exam.  Natalia manages to combine professionalism with fun and her lessons are always enjoyable. Thank you!” 

Melanie S.

"My two children have had music lessons with Natalia and her team for the past two years. During that time they have both grown in confidence and ability. 

They really enjoy their lessons and the progress they make.

Natalia is clearly committed to the improvement of each child and gives thorough and helpful feedback on a regular basis"
