Reviews

Here are some testimonials from just some of our students that will help to give you a basic idea of what it is like to be a CNMS student -





"I always look forward to going to each lesson that I have with Carrie, as she doesn't make you feel uncomfortable and the lessons are always so fun. Carrie is down to earth and due to this, you never feel under pressure. When I had my first exam, I thought it was going to turn out bad and was very nervous, however, I had full support from a great teacher"

Silan - Violin Student



"I have always wanted to learn to play an instrument and chose the clarinet because it has such a beautiful sound. However, when I turned up to my first lesson, I couldn't make a sound! After half an hour, not only was I making sounds, I was also playing little tunes. I was thrilled. Since then, I have made lots of progress and it's all down to Carrie. You're challenged but in a relaxed and friendly environment. My lesson is on a Friday evening and after a week at work, it's 30 minutes of joy!"

Kate - Mature Clarinet Student



"My nine-year old daughter thoroughly enjoys her lessons with Carrie and is responding well to excellent and patient tuition."

Tanya - Parent of a Flute Student



"I have been taught violin by Carrie for over a year, during this time I have improved my skills at playing the violin, my confidence and my ability to sight-read music. Carrie is very approachable and encouraging, I enjoy the lessons and have learnt a lot."

Tom - Violin Student



"Carrie is a lovely inspirational lady who always makes you feel welcome, she is kind and caring"

Sara - Clarinet Student



"Having picked up an instrument as part of my "bucket list of things to do now I'm 40" I'm glad that my daughter and I have a shared enthusiasm for music. Carrie has made our lessons fun and always makes us feel welcome and like we are her sole priority"
