My weekly lesson is something I always look forward to - leaving the sometimes mad frenzy of daily life behind and focussing on the music is a joy. Ed provides a calm learning environment and challenges me to tackle music I would not have thought possible for me and he is always positive and encouraging. 10/10! More...

Ed is a brilliant teacher, I have been having lessons for 12 months and after years of being frustrated with my lack of progress I have at last broken through the mental barrier and developed my ability to play, just wonderful, love it.

Ed has been teaching me piano for almost 18 months and has always been patient and he gives me lots of encouragement every week, helping me to believe in myself. Ed has been the ideal teacher for me. More...
Barbara Osborne
Ed is a very patient teacher. I am certainly not what you would describe as ‘natural’ when it comes to music and piano but I am always encouraged by Ed in a way that has seen me progress to a level that I never thought I would reach 12 months ago. Highly recommended.
Pamela Parker
I am so lucky to have found such a fantastic piano teacher.
As a once nervous adult learner, I am amazed at my progress in just a year.
Thanks to Ed’s patience, understanding and expert tuition. I thoroughly enjoy my piano lessons and highly recommend Ed.

Ed texted me and advised me on what to purchase-which I did. Haven’t started lessons as my mother was taken into hospital.

Ed is a great teacher, endlessly patient and makes every lesson interesting. Ed has taught me for over a year now - I was a complete beginner and Ed has kept me motivated to keep learning. Finding Ed was one of the best things I did in lockdown! More...
Lynne Brannigan
I am an adult pupil. Ed has been teaching me to play piano for nearly two years ( Remote lessons)
He is professional, reliable and is clearly passionate about his music and has the talent to pass this enthusiasm to the pupil.
I find him to be patient, helpful and encouraging, tailoring my practice to my specific needs. I enjoy my lessons immensely.
Whilst entirely committed and serious in his role he is also able to add a light, easy atmosphere.
I am very happy to have him as my teacher and would thoroughly recommend him as a teacher. I would anticipate that his gentle encouraging approach would also be very positive/productive with children.
Thank you Ed.

I returned to the piano after over 50 years of no playing, not even owning a piano. My children bought me my piano for my 70th birthday.
Ed is a patient and encouraging teacher who always has helpful and well-targeted comments to help me make progress. I've been learning with Ed for several months now and I always look forward to our weekly lessons.

Ed is tutoring my two kids on piano and he's great with them. He's always encouraging them and praising them for their work, even sent them a postcard which was unexpected but they were pleased to get. Thank you Ed. Ivy
Harriet Lowe
Ed Temple is an amazing teacher who is patient, understanding and passionate about his work. Without his help and guidance, I can safely say that I would not be the confident musician I am today and would therefore have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Sue Bussey
Committed, caring professional who brings music alive for all of his students. Creates a love of music and helps young people achieve to the best of their abilities. Highly recommended.

What do you love most about your job?
I started learning the piano aged 3, and there’s been no looking back since! I’ve been a music teacher for over twenty years and it’s never felt like a chore! I love the variety of helping people of different ages and ablities. Most of all, teaching (especially music) is fun!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’ve worked in schools and music centres and I am now enjoying the detailed work of being able to work one-to-one with students.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am calm, patient, dedicated, hard-working and determined to do my best and go the extra mile for my students. When it comes to exams, my students always acheive high results, but more importantly, find a life-long love of music!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes! Most of my teaching is online via Zoom! It works extremely well and I have a link which is sent out to students for hassle free connection to the lessons.
