I have known Caroline for fifteen years and have followed her career through all of that time. I am a classically-trained pianist myself and have been a full-time musician for much of the last forty years.

As a formidable pianist herself, Caroline displays great sensitivity and insight.  She has carried out with great success, a number of demanding recitals, both as a soloist and accompanist, alongside artists with an international operatic and orchestral reputation.

As a teacher, Caroline has a combination of patience, approachability, calmness and sensitivity to the needs of children and young people and great communication skills all round. I feel strongly that she is the right teacher for the student who wants a sound and correct approach.  Her methods would endear her to the elites of the United States, Eastern Europe and Asia.  I have myself attended music festivals in which her more advanced pupils, many of whom were taught by her from scratch, have achieved wonderful results.

Caroline has a thorough knowledge of not only classical music but also other genres, including jazz and pop music.

I myself have turned to her for advice on the finer points of virtuoso technique.  I cannot imagine there being a piano teacher whom I would recommend more highly.

Caroline has taught me piano for 8 years, she taught me how to play the piano beautifully and under her guidance, I managed to get great exam results as as competing in piano competitions.  She has always been patient with me and granted me many opportunities which I’m very grateful for.  I highly recommend her piano lessons for pianists of any level!

JOSHUA JUNG-SOLLEY

Caroline is a lovely, kind and patient piano teacher.  I am an adult working at around Grade 7 level and have had lessons over the past 2-3 years.  Caroline has been very reliable and well organised and has helped me a great deal.  I have no hesitation in recommending her.

NICK JACKMAN

Caroline was recommended to me by friends, whose children she has taught for 2 years.
From the outset she was very patient and encouraging with me.

She has a caring teaching ability.

RICHARD MADDOCK

Caroline is a brilliant piano tutor to my daughter.  She has been going to Caroline the past two years.  She is fantastically flexible, especially through the Covid pandemic.  And she has a real enthusiasm for my daughter’s success in music, which was always lovely to see.  Caroline guided my daughter really gently through the stages and has given her skills that will hopefully last a lifetime with a good foundational knowledge of piano.  Thank you Caroline!

What an incredible evening of piano music at Westlands Entertainment Centre we all experienced.  Caroline’s dedication to music is definitely unique.  The sounds she brought out of the grand piano and the different musical arrangements kept our interest going throughout.  We really loved the songs she interpreted, it was a wide spectrum including jazz, pop and classical melodies.  Her body language up and down the keyboard is impressive, many were videoing her performance.  I can’t wait to hear more of this.  Well done Caroline, Yeovil needs you.

YIANNIS TSENKOS

Caroline  has been teaching me piano for five years now.  I have never played or read music in my life (I am retired).  Caroline is so patient, so encouraging and so professional that she gives me great confidence that I can progress.  It takes me an hour to get to her, which shows how much I value her.

I have been a pupil of Caroline for 6 years. I had a 40 year absence from the piano before joining her. She has brought me up to beyond grade 8 standard in a relatively short time. It has been a pleasure to work with her. She is highly professional, hard working, digging deep on my playing technique, accuracy and musicality. I could not have asked for a better teacher and I know her other pupils are equally appreciative of her unstinting efforts.

My sincere thanks to her. Highly recommended for any age of pupil.

Caroline has been a wonderful piano teacher for my daughter over the past 3 years, helping her exams and competitions.  I would highly recommend Caroline if you are considering lessons.

THERESA PRICE

I have been learning piano with Caroline for a little over a year now. She is kind, patient and an excellent teacher. I would definitely recommend.

LESLEY CLARK

Caroline is an excellent piano teacher, with many experiences!

Caroline is a brilliant piano teacher of children and adults. I have studied the piano and music theory with her for five years and during that time I have learnt a lot. She has so much enthusiasm and endless patience and always goes the extra mile for her students. I can recommend Caroline without hesitation – she is the best piano teacher in the area.

Been pootling about on the piano for a few years before I started having lessons, and I’m so glad I have! Caroline has really given me direction and motivation, just passed grade 1 with flying colours which I never thought I’d even want to do, and now working towards grade 2. Caroline is an absolutely excellent teacher, endless patience and kind, whilst somehow making me push myself but not feeling under pressure to do so. Not sure how that happens…

​​​​​​​Anyway, big recommend.
