My 7 year old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Frazer for 5 months now and she really enjoys it. Frazer is patient and encouraging, and his method of teaching appears to be working as my daughter always looking forward to her lessons. She also loves practicing when she's at home and it's great to see and hear her play a variety of songs. I'm very impressed with how quickly she has progressed.

My daughter has been taking piano classes for the pas two years.She's been feeling encouraged and supported all this time. During the lockdown ,classes never stopped and Alice did not miss even one lesson. Everything was done online with easy access and still on a professional level. Now my daughter has been chosen to do one to one program and feels appreciated. I am very proud of her and the progress she has made since taking classes with Frazer. Highly recommended.

I would recommend Livingston Piano Lessons to anyone wishing to learn. Frazer has been teaching my daughter for 4 years, in person and more recently online. He put her at ease right from the start, and we were surprised at how quickly she learned to read music and play the piano.

My son aged 11 has only been going to group lessons with Frazer for less than than a year and is flying through the books. The progress he has made in such a short time has been amazing. Frazer is a very patient teacher and most importantly my son loves going to his piano lessons.

Frazer is a wonderful piano teacher and has been our family's tutor for years. He is very patient and kind and the lessons are engaging and enjoyable. The students progress steadily, gaining confidence, and with the encouragement and teaching method of Frazer one of our children passed the ABRSM Grade 8 examination a while ago.
