Testimonials
"This online course from Fiona is the essential guide in how to become a successful self-employed Musician/ teacher. I've recently started in the world of self employment and I wish I'd had a course like this to prepare me for the challenges it can bring!"
Ben Cockburn, Piano Teacher and Leeds College of Music Graduate

"Fiona's online course is a must to any musician wanting to begin their teaching journey. After graduating 2 years ago, I would have really benefitted from this type of support. The course has a fantastic balance of the facts and practicalities of being a freelance musician and teacher as well as advice on how to become a successful business person. A lot of the information on the course comes from Fiona's own experience as a working professional in the industry and cannot be learnt in a classroom. I would recommend this course highly to anyone."
Helen Goldsmith, Woodwind Teacher and Leeds College of Music Graduate

I pride myself in the positive testimonials I've received from my own students over the years. It really shows that the knowledge and information I bring to this course is the result of a professional, profitable and passionate teaching practice.
Oliver, Piano Lessons Harrogate
Fiona does weekly piano lessons with our 16 year old, 8 year old and 4 year old and they all love their lessons with her. Fiona has done a great job helping our 16 year old daughter to pass her Grade 5 exam, she lacks confidence but Fiona was reassuring and took extra steps to build her confidence, so much so that our daughter passed and would now like to take Grade 6! She is fantastic with our two younger children and pitches the lessons at the perfect level and always makes them fun and rewarding with sticker charts and little prizes for effort. We look forward to Fiona teaching the girls for years to come.
Ian, Piano Lessons Leeds
Fiona is an excellent teacher. For someone like me who has lived for 55 years without any understanding of music except knowing what I like, she has been very encouraging, patient and instructive. Fiona is clearly a very talented musician herself and is able to work with complete novices (such as me) and more accomplished musicians too. I strongly recommend her.
