River Music School London Reviews 

I love a goal and recently set a personal goal to start on an exam route with my Sax. With the support of my tutor for about 18 months, we landed on the Improv route. 2 songs in with a few decent Improv bars. I still can't believe how far I have progressed. With the right encouragement and belief, it's never too late to learn. Thank you Aidan, thank you River Music School for turning 1 of my dreams into reality. So much more to learn, fuelled by the joy and enjoyment to keep going. I recommend this team to anyone who has thought of learning to play.

River School Music is excellent. Nicol has an amazing energy and style of teaching. She fosters creativity, imagination and individuality in her teaching. As well as progressing through the grades, she teachers in a unique way creating a deep understanding and love of music. She is always happy, upbeat and positive. It really reflects when teaching as wants her pupils to be self motivated and interested in what they are learning. The lessons are varied and allow for pupils to also choose their own pieces they wish to learn. She is flexible in her approach and she brings out the best in her pupils. She takes the time to learn what you like and happy to teach a wide range of styles. I would recommend her to anyone. She is professional, young and energetic and if you are keen to progress, genuinely love music you can't find anyone better. Outstanding and a highlight of the week. Feel lucky to have found her. Highly recommend.

Nicol is an amazing piano tutor. She is currently teaching my 17yr old daughter who has made significant progress in her piano skills since starting here. I would highly recommend students of any age to attend here. Nicol is patient, welcoming and gently encouraging with my daughter and her musical knowledge is absolutly brilliant.

Communications with Nicol are efficient and professional. I felt very welcome to starting lessons and all the information Nicol gave me was very clear. Luciano is a great teacher and is very patient. He takes interest in what I’m working towards and what I like and creates lessons going between the different things I’d need to progress but also have fun.

Nicol is the best teacher when it comes to piano. My 11 year old son recently passed the ABRSM Grade 1 Piano exam and would have been extremely hard, if not unachievable, without Nicol's supportive encouragement and brilliant help. My son's progress in piano has improved dramatically over the course of the 7 months that we've been with Nicol. Would highly recommend her!

I would highly recommend the River Music School, I've been having Piano lessons with Nicol for a few months and it's brilliant. A very structured and rewarding way of learning. I've noticed lots of improvement in my ability.

My 7 year old daughter has been having weekly online piano lessons for a few months and is now enjoying playing the piano everyday. It’s great to see how much she is learning and how much she has progressed. Her teacher Nicol is so patient, kind and also flexible with availability. Would highly recommend!

Having a great time. Huw is a really committed and diligent teacher. He is always prepared, knows what he's talking about and is flexible to what I prefer to learn. As a professional who learns in the evenings after work, the arrangement I have with RMS and Huw is very convenient and I learn a lot!

Nicol is an excellent teacher, she’s very friendly, patient and professional.
My 07 year old is very happy, she’s really enjoying her lessons. I’m so glad how much my daughter has progressed .
I really recommend Nicol!!

My son has started piano lessons with Nicol couple of months ago.
Nicol is an excellent teacher, she’s very patient, professional and a highly skilled music teacher with a variety of musical experience.
I am amazed how much my son has progressed in such a short time and his confidence has grown too.
I highly recommend Nicol!!!

Nicole is an excellent teacher. My 6 year old daughter really enjoys her lessons and has already learned so much. Nicol has a patient and calm yet fun manner which really helps my daughter to engage and learn.

Two of my sons are taught by Natalie. I stumbled across River Music School London in a frantic search online and I cannot believe how lucky I got! Nicol runs a superb school with great teachers. Natalie is patient driven and firm with my boys and their progress is consistent. They are encouraged and challenged during every lesson and their enthusiasm to practice in between lessons is remarkable. I cannot recommend the school enough. There is constant communication and a hand over after each lesson so you as a parent can be fully involved and help your child's progress even if you are not musical.

Nicole is very encouraging to my son and has been able to tailor the lessons to my son's needs. He's already made a lot of progress since she started teaching him.

Nicol is a brilliant piano teacher for young children. My daughter enjoys her lessons once a week and has advanced a lot since practicing with Nicol. She is very child friendly and nurturing which is really inviting for my daughter.

Nicol is lovely and a very gifted guitar teacher. She has great patience with young children and adapts her lesson to suit my child’s pace of learning. She is always calm and happy to answer any question. I’m amazed to see how far my 6year old has come in only a few months.

I have started to take piano lessons with Nicol and I am very happy with the decision I made. She is for sure an experienced musician who knows what she is doing. She motivates me, challenges me, and has many different ways to help me understand. She also has great patience and great customer care. Very happy will continue with her after my 10 classes.

I have piano lessons at River Music School. I'm a beginner and a mature student (I'm 65), which is surely the most difficult combination to teach. My teacher is Nicol, and in the few weeks I've been attending, she has helped me learn faster than I'd thought possible. She's very patient and knows just how hard to push me so that I always leave the lesson with a sense of achievement and enthusiasm to go and practise. I now believe I will soon be able to call myself a pianist. I can't wait.

Our son started piano lessons at the beginning of February with the River Music school, and during this short period he has made significant progress and is enjoying playing the piano again! The lessons are undertaken via zoom which works well, and specific thanks to Nicol who is an excellent teacher.

My son (11 years old) attends Bass lessons and my daughter (9 years old) electric guitar lessons and both love it. Nicole is a very talented musician and a very good teacher.

Alessandro is a real gem, I can not think of a better guitar teacher for my 6-year-old son. Not only does he have age-appropriate techniques to ensure that the kid learns the fundamentals, but he also manages to make the lessons extremely engaging.

PS: Halloween song was a big hit.
