As a senior student I have found Geoffrey to be a very patient, inspiring and knowledgeable piano teacher. He is very supportive, understanding and makes every lesson very enjoyable.
From the very beginning, Mr. Warren's remarkable patience and systematic approach to technique, theory and musicianship, have gently guided Ao into the rich, expressive realm of music. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Warren to anyone with an interest in music, whether driven by ambition or simply by a desire to learn.
As a mature-age learner, I was looking for a teacher who would be sympathetic and encouraging in my quest to learn to play the piano so late in life. Geoffrey Warren of The Piano is exactly that teacher. He is patient, instructive, and sets a pace that allows you to challenge yourself. I'm thrilled with the progress I have made in such a short amount of time.
