Recommendations

"Glen is a fantastic teacher and has helped both my children achieve ABRSM certifications (level 1 to 3) in very short time. His teaching techniques for preparation are perfect for achieving these difficult certifications in one shot without stress. We are already onto preparing for the next level!"

"Glen is such an amazing piano teacher! He’s not only super talented and experienced, but also so kind and patient. He really listens to my son, goes at his pace, and makes learning the piano fun. My son always looks forward to his lessons, and it’s amazing to see his progress. We feel so lucky to have found Glen!" 

My two kids (11 and 14) and I are students of Mr Glen for 3.5 years. Our skills on Piano have skyrocketed since we joined him. We have started acing different levels of the very prestigious ABRSM certifications thanks to his hard work with us! Mr Glen is an amazing teacher with ~30 years of experience with several renowned accreditations having achieved some of the highest highs in music playing, teaching and using it as a tool for therapy for special needs students. It reflects in the way he adapts his teaching style to a beginner, intermediate or advanced student. Some of his students are 7 years old while some others are aged 50+.

Mr Glen is detailed oriented in all aspects of teaching piano - with equal focus on notes reading, rhythm, finger practice, music history and theory but most importantly having fun (in making songs your own by adding original creative variations). He guides himself by students interests and is always receptive to teaching popular songs of our choice. His own Piano and violin playing skills are par excellence and we get goosebumps every time he gets on these instruments! Its inspiring to watch him play and understand what "good" actually looks like.

​In general, Mr Glen is a fantastic human being, very welcoming, caring and flexible. We all enjoy his company and at times hearing anecdotes from his colorful past of a life well lived (not everyone gets to play for the Pope, especially when they are a teenager!) and how "life is a negotiation!". We are honored to have a teacher like him and hope to continue stretching the boundaries of our limits with his support! -
