Music student testimonials
Feedback from online and local music students
If you’re unsure about learning a new instrument, what is involved, or think it may be too difficult, please read through the following testimonials from the many varied students that I have helped to discover the joy of being able to play a musical instrument. Music student testimonials speak volumes about the music tutor.
Mike Brown
“Wayne Morrison is an excellent music teacher. Over the past five years, I have gone to him for lessons in guitar and ukulele.
Until I was over 70, I had had no musical education whatsoever. But, since then, Wayne has inspired me to keep working at these instruments; and, although at my age I will never be a great musician, my feeling for, and understanding of, the basic essentials has come on by leaps and bounds. I am deeply grateful for this new-found hobby, and for the enjoyment it has given me.
Wayne’s own musical skill is inspiring. He makes the lessons interesting, and the necessary skills attainable. He goes to great lengths to provide the music and the mp3’s needed for practice and development.
Within the past year, I have started going to his fortnightly ukulele sessions where a group of us meet to make music. These are always well-organised, interesting and enjoyable. In the course of these sessions I have discovered many wonderful songs I never knew before.
Without hesitation, I can thoroughly recommend Wayne as a teacher of music.”
Candice Bell
“Wayne’s music lessons are fabulous, tailor made to the individual and allowing you to progress at your own pace. Super value for money with text books and mp3’s all supplied within the cost of the lesson. My daughter has learnt so much over the last year with Wayne, the tuition is lively, upbeat and current. Here’s to many more lessons!”
Ruairidh Ellison
“An excellent tutor who has used innovative approaches to engage and extend my son’s interest in learning the guitar. My son is nine years old and has really enjoyed his first two lessons. Wayne uses humour well – making both the theory and practical side of learning the guitar enjoyable.”
Colin
“I’ve been learning banjo with Wayne for the last four years, and I can highly recommend him. When I started, I was a complete beginner—the banjo was the first instrument I’d ever played. Thanks to Wayne’s patient, encouraging teaching style, I’ve developed into a confident intermediate player.
Every lesson includes a new song, and Wayne takes the time to break it down step by step, making it enjoyable and easy to learn. We’ve explored a range of styles, from Scruggs and bluegrass to clawhammer, which has kept lessons fresh and helped me grow as a player.
Wayne is a fantastic teacher who makes learning fun and gives you the confidence to keep improving. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to build your skills, I’d recommend him without hesitation.”
Rebecca Forster
“Wayne has made guitar lessons fun and I learnt more from him than my 3 previous guitar teachers put together.”
Rosalind Bache
“My daughter’s coming on leaps and bounds. Wayne’s is engaging and clear. Great extra support in terms of mp3s by email.”
Grant
“I have been studying banjo online with Wayne for the past 5 years. I wasn’t sure how online lessons would be but they have worked very well indeed. I was a complete beginner in every sense but with Wayne’s patient guidance I have come a long way and have learned so much. Our lessons together are always relaxed and informative and we have covered a wide variety of music. When I’ve been discouraged Wayne has always been extremely supportive and has kept me going always building up my confidence. Wayne has been a great teacher for me and I would highly recommend him as a teacher.”
Jane Norman
“Have only had 2 lessons and already feel a huge progress. Wayne sends mp3 music to play along with at home and have found this really useful. He also provides sheet music and structured learning.”
Jim Johnston
“I have now had two online lessons with Wayne. He is a patient and encouraging teacher who sends through everything we need before hand so I am ready for the lesson. Learning online through video chat.”
Annie
“Wayne is the real deal – a music teacher who knows music inside out and also knows how to build lessons in a way that maximises all that you can learn while enjoying yourself!
He communicates information clearly and effectively and tailors lessons to meet your needs and likes.
My ability and enjoyment in playing instruments has come on in leaps and bounds since starting lessons with Wayne.
He creates a relaxed and fun environment; is patient and encouraging and very skilled at building new learning into each session without it seeming daunting or a chore.
He clearly prepares for each lesson and also sends tailored tabs; notation, and recordings in different formats by email following each session so that your learning continues in between lesson days.
I have no hesitation in recommending Wayne to anyone of any age or ability. I wished i had signed up sooner – don’t delay!”

“My son Ezra has enjoyed classical guitar lessons with Wayne Morrson. He enjoys the variation in material and has progressed markedly in his classical guitar playing. He helped him pass Grade 3 with distinction and is currently working towards Grade 4.”
Emily Rennie
“My daughter had tuition from Wayne over a few years, going from beginner to grade 1. He was very patient, and she managed to get a distinction at pre grade 1 and high merit at grade one. We enjoyed the lessons and a lovely family environment thanks to his mums hospitality.”
