“Bridget is the most wonderful teacher we could have asked for. I am so thankful that we found her. She is exceptional in terms of her musical experience and knowledge, as well as her professionalism and warmth. Bridget teaches with grace, kindness and patience, and has easily handled any challenges my daughter has thrown at her.
My daughter loves the lessons so much that she requested Bridget teach her singing as well as piano, and asked for extra lessons throughout the school holidays. Bridget is first class. She has a gift for teaching. I could not recommend her more highly! “
