Testimonials

Saltdean Primary School, Saltdean
Thank you for the support and kindness you have shown my children. This is greatly appreciated and they enjoy their music sessions immensely. It has been a joy and a pleasure to watch them progress.

It has been especially lovely watching and listening to them practising together, teaching each other and working as a team whilst improving individually too. They both really love and enjoy learning with you and having you as their teacher. I love seeing how the power of music has helped them, changed them and inspired them.

Your fun and engaging music learning strategies are brilliant from what I hear. Thank you for doing what you do with such passion and care.

St Nicolas CE Primary School, Portslade
My daughter loves her classes with you. She loves how fun you make them. She does a little practice at home and sometimes teaches me how to play some of the songs.

St Nicolas & St Mary Primary School, Shoreham
Thank you for all you are doing – kids love your group and I know some do really well. I think you put that love of music in their hearts!

Elm Grove Primary School, Brighton 
My son is so excited about his lessons. He has already given two ‘concerts’ to cousins over the phone this week.

St Nicolas & St Mary Primary School, Shoreham
You must be great as kids seem to go crazy over this class. I feel like signing up myself. My daughter is very excited about her taster sessions and would love to continue. Fabulous – well done! Best wishes.

St Nicolas & St Mary Primary School, Shoreham
I don’t know what you do at this club, but Amelie is THE most enthusiastic about it. In fact she’s disappointed it’s half term next week and there isn’t harmonica club. So thank you for your patience in helping me sort everything.

Elm Grove Primary School, Brighton 
My son is not very confident, doesn’t like joining in group activities and is not massively musically gifted, and yet he really enjoys harmonica club and I have been so impressed with the tunes he has played for us. Thanks so much.

Steyning CE Primary School
My daughter loves her lessons and it’s such a joy to hear her wonderful playing. The harmonicas were the best part of the summer concert!

Crawley Down Village Primary School
I just wanted to let you know that we attended the school’s Easter performance at Church today. Megan, Bethany and Lilly did a fantastic job with their harmonica parts. I filmed it all to show them afterwards. It was brilliant! Thanks and have a lovely Easter.

Steyning CE Primary School
Thank you! My daughter tried your taster session this week and absolutely LOVED it. She is made up with the harmonica and has been playing it non-stop ever since. She had such a great time, so thank you for introducing her to learning music in such an excellent way!!!

Aldrington CE Primary School, Hove
After a year of harmonica, Edith has decided that she’d like to try another club. She has really enjoyed Harp Academy. She especially loved the Paddle Round the Pier festival and regularly watches the videos of the performances. She may well return in the future. Your communications and website are excellent. Thank you, it’s a really well run club.

“I just wanted to thank you for organising the Paddle Round The Pier event; Edith loved taking part in the harmonica performance.We stayed next to the children’s stage for the rest of the day and both Edith and her sister Nell enjoyed watching, or taking part in, all of the subsequent performances on stage! It was our first time at the festival (despite living in Brighton & Hove for the last fifteen years). We’ll be going every year now!”

Great day on Saturday. And I thought Isla was too shy to do a solo. She loved it!  Isla and, following Saturday, her little sister, Esmeralda, would both like to do Harp Academy in September.

Arunside Primary School, Horsham
Just wanted to tell you that Will came into Arunside last week and two children performed to the school. You could have heard a pin drop – the performance was stunning! It brought tears to my eyes. You are all doing a great job. Thank you.

St Nic and St Mary’s, Shoreham
Just to say, Cooper put on a number of family performances over the Christmas period, with Little Donkey – it lifted his confidence and our relatives were delighted!

St John’s RC Primary School, Horsham
Thank you, you run a very professional, child friendly group.

PRTP 2015 11My son enjoyed his taster session and would really like to carry on with the Harmonica. As a keen musician, I would like to add how pleased I am that he has taken an interest in a musical instrument; I love the way your songs and scales are tabbed! It’s so simple for kids to interpret, they get results fast which in turn gives them such a sense of achievement and encourages them to continue. Hats off to you!

Crawley Down Village Primary School
My daughter had a terrible night with a cold and she only went to school due her harmonica lesson today! She had her first session with Will last week and she is really enjoying her introduction to using a harmonica. We have practised her homework for this week, which was Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and logged onto the website to listen to the C Scale Mother and daughter with tablet 2notes. I have been practicing too; what an enjoyable hobby this is!

After spending all day working on a computer and talking to people, it has been a most relaxing experience – so much so, I’m going to get a harmonica myself. I would encourage people of all ages to give this hobby a try. It’s most enjoyable to hear a tune that you can smile about. I’m trying When The Saints Go Marching In!  Richard was most helpful in discussing the various payment option and detail of my daughter’s taster session. He’s a most accommodating person who certainly has the people skills to manage anyone’s expectations. A superb start to a fascinating musical instrument.

I must say that our son (attending lessons at Portslade Infants School) has really enjoyed learning the harmonica. This is one area of his whole education which he takes great pleasure in learning and seems to be doing really well. It has been very good for his self-confidence too, which we’re delighted about.

Hertford Infants School, Brighton
Thanks for all you have done for our son, who is visually impaired, over the past three years – your gift of music helped him come out of himself and realise that he can create part of his own world through sound! He has thoroughly enjoyed his sessions at Hertford Infants with you.

St Nicolas & St Mary’s CE Primary School, Shoreham
Sammi has really enjoyed playing her harmonica. It made myself, my hubby and also my Dad (Sammi’s Grandpa) very proud when she played Twinkle Twinkle and Little Donkey to us!  Thank you.

It’s been a great experience (4 years) and I just wanted to thank you for teaching Dylan some great tunes and encouraging him so well.

Lindfield Primary School
Our daughter has enjoyed learning harmonica and is now wanting to start the Violin. Although she will be stopping Harp Academy at the end of this term, the harmonica has given her a great grounding in music. She has really enjoyed the lessons and has done some demonstrating at home too! Thank you to Will and Richard for all her tuition.

The performance at Lindfield School this morning was brilliant!  Kain is really enjoying learning the harmonica.

Arunside Primary School, Horsham
Thank you very much for the brilliant organisation and care for our children.
