Testimonials
3 years ago
- Iona TNick Redfern was such a fantastic music teacher to me as a youngster. I would always look forward to his composition lessons and often stay behind for a chat. He took extra time with me to listen and help whenever I needed it and he was always fun yet sincere. Perfect teacher for a budding young musician.
