Who is AL BUCHAN?

TUITION TESTIMONIALS

“My 7yo comes home from his lessons beaming and, in his adorable mind, this is the biggest most amazing thing. So we just want to make sure you know how grateful we are, because you are going above and beyond, for his future love of music!” Angela

 

“Your teaching style has allowed our 14yo to blossom and his weekly sessions with you have become his ‘happy place’. As a Mum, it brings me so much joy to see my child so happy and passionate.” Alison 

 

“I am really impressed with your methods and the care, attention and enthusiasm you have for your teaching.” Matt
