My daughter absolutely loves learning to play the piano with Ross. She looks forward to every lesson and her review after each lesson is that it was 'Amazing!' She is really keen to practise and says that lessons are fun. Ross is an excellent teacher! I would definitely recommend.

Ross is an excellent piano teacher and very welcoming to new students, both young and old. His patient style and friendly manner means you're not afraid to make mistakes and he is able to set the pace exactly how each student requires. I'd highly recommend Ross to anyone who may be even tentatively considering learning piano, no matter your starting level.

I started piano lessons a couple of months ago now after not playing for a few years. Ross has been a fantastic teacher at starting me at the right point in my new journey and is very patient and encouraging. I feel even in a short period i have improved and with help from Ross i will again become a decent piano player. I really like the way he teaches and it pushes me on to get better.

My 13 year old son began his piano lessons with Ross just over a year ago. He has recently passed his grade 1 examination with distinction. What I have been most impressed with is how my sons confidence has grown over the past year. My son always looks forward to his lessons and comes out happy every time. Ross keeps me regularly updated on my sons progress. Can not recommend him enough.

Ross is a very patient and friendly piano teacher. He allows you to go at your own pace and I don’t feel nervous about making mistakes. The room he teaches in is excellent and very comfortable. He explains everything in a way that I can understand and follow easily. I would definitely recommend Ross if you are thinking about learning to play the piano, whether you are young or old.

Ross is a fantastic piano teacher. I have been learning to play the piano for the last 4 years with Ross, and i'm now closer to fulfilling that dream. The piano is beautiful and makes you feel like a professional when playing it. If you are looking for a teacher who is fun, creative, knowledgeable and easy to get along with i would 1000000% recommend Ross! Ross is more than just a teacher, he is now a friend.

Ross is an excellent teacher. He has a very professional manner, is highly organised and efficient whilst at the same time being very friendly and approachable. He has always been extremely flexible with regards to organising lessons and is more than happy to liaise with other students on my behalf in order to rearrange any classes that I am unable to attend. I chose Ross because of his personality but also because of his accreditation with Gloucester university, his high level of experience ( he has been teaching privately for over 8 years) and due to his students achieving superior results, which are available to view on his website. From day one he has been a very patient teacher he is positive and encouraging and I have gained a lot of confidence since starting my lessons with him. He teaches both piano and musical theory and every week he sets us new goals and challenges according to our individual progress. We chart our home practice sessions using a paper log that Ross designed specifically for us. I find this very useful as it enables me to look back and see a visual representation of how I have progressed, and I really feel like I am moving forward each week. His teaching style is professional but hugely fun at the same time. Ross has an extensive knowledge of music and musical theory and that’s very apparent in his teaching, however he is still able to explain things in a very digestible, clear and easy to understand manner. He always listens to any questions or problems that I have, and I feel like he really cares about helping me progress as a student. Any criticism is always constructive, calm and done in a way that motivates me to want to get better and learn more. He prepares students for exams through scheduled mocks which is something that I find highly valuable and helps us to achieve the best result we possibly can on the day.

Although I'm over sixty and have played musical instruments all my life (guitar, violin, flute, cello, viola, ukulele, boran amongst others), the piano has always been my Nemisis. I've been able to play about 6 pieces of music on the piano for the last 50 years (much to the annoyance of my neighbours). My main problem has been an inability to read music for both hands at the same time, and then make them actually work together (it really is true that there are times when the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing). I found Ross after an extensive search for someone to take on an old wrinkly like me - and was delighted when he said he would. Over the last 18 months or so Ross has given me the confidence a) to give it a go, b) to do so in my own time and c) to challenge myself. I look forward to my lessons and practice a lot. I have been introduced to wonderful musicians like Ludovico Einaudi and composers like Bach and Pescetti. I don't chase grades, but use them as a measure of how far I have come. I've gone from hardly any piano to grades 5/6. Ross comes highly recommended. His gentle, fun approach was just what I needed. Thank you Ross! I'll be forever grateful.

My son has been having piano lessons with Mr Hammond for a few months. I am amazed at his progress and he always enjoys every lesson! Ross' enthusiasm and dedication shines through and this has a direct effect on the pupils. The piano fees are incredibly competitive and i am very pleased with the service Ross provides, if you are looking for a warm friendly environment to learn to play the piano, then Ross Hammond is it.

I would highly recommend Ross Hammond as a piano teacher. Being a complete beginner I am making great progress in a friendly, relaxed and professional environment. Communication is excellent and Ross does a great job with rescheduling lessons and keeping you up to date on your progress.

Ross has been teaching my 13 year old daughter for over a year. She has now passed her grade 1 and is currently working on grade 2. Ross is kind, patient and makes her lessons fun. I receive detailed lesson notes on what they have covered during the lesson and what needs to be worked on over the week from home so I can help and encourage too. I would highly recommend Ross!

Ross is an excellent piano teacher. my 11 years old daughter has been learning piano from Ross for the last 12months and she made significant progress and more importantly she developed more interest in her learning. I think Ross helped in that a lot. He is very professional in his teaching at the same time makes lesson a lot of fun according to my little one:) His communication is excellent too, the lesson note helps parents tract the progress and I think that the automated invoicing system is very practical and convenient. I would recommend Ross to anyone wants to learn Piano and I have to mention that Ross made online piano lesson as practical as in person lesson.

J. S.

It has been a pleasure to return to playing the piano after a ten year break. Ross is encouraging and I always look forward to my lessons. He is patient and professional with a piano I could only dream of owning! I would recommend Ross to anyone looking to return to playing.

Ross has been teaching my 8yr old son Piano for the past 11 months. He is very professional and my son really enjoys his piano lessons. I would highly recommend Ross Hammond.

I cannot recommend Ross highly enough, an excellent piano teacher who is patient, friendly, calm and knowledgable. The music room is fantastic and the piano you learn on is beautiful. If you are looking for a professional piano teacher who makes your lessons fun then look no further.

Ross is an excellent piano teacher. As an adult learner, I found his lessons informative, yet relaxed, and was very pleased with my exam results. Many thanks for you help (and patience!),Ross.

T. C.

First time my son has played piano so a complete beginner, Ross Hammond is great, made my son feel very relaxed and he is thoroughly enjoying it. I feel very happy with location and set up and all handled very professionally but in a relaxed manor.

J. G.

Ross Hammond has helped me immensely. I manged to get 144/150 on my grade one exam after only learning for 6 months with him. He is a wonderful teacher and we always have a good laugh together. The room is very relaxing and Ross is 100% professional. I have no doubt that I will achieve the highest possible mark in every grade to follow thanks to his superb teaching.

A. F.

Ross is an inspiring and supportive teacher who goes above and beyond to tailor lessons to suit each student. I would recommend him to anyone whether starting out, looking to improve their playing or wanting to progress through the grades.

D. S.

Ross is a very patient and encouraging teacher. He has a very relaxed style and the lessons are always fun. He is very knowledgable and explains things well on the theory side. His rates are very reasonable, which is a bonus. I am really happy having lessons with Ross.

M. S.

My shy 11 year old has absolutely thrived in these classes, gaining confidence and ability, with laughter and patience. Ross precision teaches with great patience and skill, finding the best way for students to access their potential. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

P. H.

Having not studied the piano formally for almost 28 years, Ross accepted the challenge to teach me and help me work towards my ABRSM Grade 6. He has taught both myself and my daughter and our unanimous verdict is that if you are looking for a piano teacher then your search stops with Ross 😊

C. D.

My son (10) has been playing the piano for 2 years, he has recently started having lessons with Ross and I cannot recommend him enough. My son was becoming tired of playing the piano and was showing little interest in practicing. From his first lesson with Ross he was more motivated, more confident and more passionate about learning again. My son has enjoyed both lessons in person and online, as Ross offers incredible support and guidance to him.

N. S.

My daughter has been having piano lessons with Mr Hammond for a few months. I am amazed at her progress and how she remains enthusiastic! I have always found Mr Hammond prompt, smart and polite and his fees are very reasonable. We will be sad to leave when we move to another County and we would recommend him fully.

C. R.

Ross is an excellent teacher, he explains everything really well. I look forward to my lessons and the time fly's by. I would definitely recommend Ross Hammond.

Ross has been teaching my son piano for a few weeks now. He is professional and friendly and we are very pleased with his service. Online teaching is especially useful during this lockdown period of time. I would definitely recommend him.

B. M.

I contacted Ross when I was looking for online piano lessons. He responded quickly and it was very easy to get registered to start lessons with his online system. Ross is an excellent teacher, professional but still fun and pushes you just enough to make it challenging but not seem impossible. I have some previous music experience but am a bit rusty with the technicalities and he accounted for this brilliantly. I would 100% recommend Ross and wouldn't go anywhere else.

H. E.

Ross is an excellent teacher. I've started learning piano as an adult and I've found his tailored approach fantastic. He's patient, supportive and knowledgeable. I've felt challenged but not overwhelmed by the pace. I would highly recommend.

E. B.

We cannot rate Ross Hammond highly enough. Our daughter has made so much progress and is much more confident in her ability to play. He is very patient and encouraging. He is also very professional, always punctual and the student portal contains all progress, lessons and invoices. Most importantly, our daughter enjoys her lessons.

M. P.

Ross is a friendly and encouraging teacher providing lessons I look forward to. I have found Ross' lessons very effective, and am learning to play piano and read music much faster than I ever expected to and with correct technique. Ross is a great teacher who has set up the perfect environment to learn piano in and I highly recommend choosing him to be your teacher too.

l. d.

I began my first lessons with Ross Just over three months ago as a mature student. Following retirement some years ago, I felt that I needed a new interest, and the need to follow a long time desire to learn Piano. I felt a little apprehensive and concerned at first that I may not be able learn to read music at my time of life, however I have found Ross to be an excellent teacher, he is patient, very reassuring and is very encouraging when I struggle with certain pieces. Ross is highly qualified and I would recommend Ross to anyone wishing to start Piano, whether they are young or elderly (as myself). I am very much enjoying my new interest and look forward to each lesson and although I have a long way to go, I hope that one day Ross will consider me to be another of his many successful students.

S. R.

My children have recently started piano lessons with Ross after tuition at school didn’t seem to be progressing them in skill or confidence. In a short time they have both improved and have a genuine pride in learning again. They come out of their lessons with big smiles. Ross is very approachable, friendly and it’s evident how talented he is and how hard he works in order for his students to excel.
