I was a bit anxious about how online lessons would work for advanced grades but Max is an amazing teacher. He guided me through grade 7 flute exams. He is incredibly patient and flexible both with time changes for lessons as well as any technical issues I had. He is clearly knowledgeable and helped me explore a number of musical styles and also to understand some theory. He was open to my opinions. I was given detailed practice notes after every lesson. His lessons include a nice balance of some music theory and playing while learning. He even talked me through what to look for when buying a new flute. Overall I have thoroughly enjoyed flute lessons with Max.

I think that Max is an exceptional teacher, who is committed to his music. His great knowledge and support has helped me overcome my inhibitions, and take up the orchestral flute. His extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for all kinds of woodwind instruments has maintained and increased my motivation.

I really enjoy my lessons with Max. He is a great teacher and clearly passionate about folk music. His wide interests across many folk musics and instruments means he's comfortable and enthusiastic showing me how to play a Blugarian or bagpipe tune on my low whistle.
