taught by harry Thank you for your splendid recital at Canford last Friday. The first half of the concert certainly opened the eyes and ears of our specialist musicians who were lapping it all up, and the second half jazz session was truly inspirational.

David Warwick, Director of Music, Canford School


Harry’s approach is all embracing, making everyone who works with him feel not only his support, but also his respect. Confidence building is Harry’s credo, and his conviction and sheer love of music making and piano playing never fail to inspire his students.

Murray Mclachlan - head of Chethams International Summer School


Harry has been sharing his talent with us for over ten years now and it’s always a joy to witness his remarkable impact he has on musicians of every ability. It is not only the children that are inspired by Harry. He is good for the soul!

John Thwaites, Former Head of Piano, Christ's Hospital School


It is so humbling that such a fantastically talented musician should come and share his abilities in this way. The children responded to him instantly; his incredible prowess and understated charisma were so inspirational that I wanted to learn too!

Amanda Harman, Head of Education - Clonter Opera Trust


Harry’s concerts are a great inspiration to our students. He has an excellent rapport with the audience and his talent leaves the children spellbound. He has become a favourite with our pupils and teachers alike, so much so that our teachers went up to London and joined a long queue to attend another of his concerts.

Brenda Mendelssohn, Director of Music, Rikkyo Japanese School


Thank you for your breathtaking contribution to what was a simply unforgettable evening. When we were planning the concert John (Wilson) told us about who was going to be there and said that the evening as he wanted it to happen would not have been complete without you. I now understand exactly what he meant.
