“Learning with Tony has been a game changer. Having someone explain everything from the correct set-up to getting my posture and finger positions right has made my playing experience so much better.”

“Tony has a music degree and gigs in two bands. He spotted things I was doing wrong straight away—bass too low, bad wrist position, poor setup. Fixing those changed everything.”
— Graeme Bowman
