Sasha accompanied my son for his Grade 8 ABRSM Singing exam. They had a rehearsal a few days before the exam where they ran through the pieces together to make final adjustments etc. He was helpful and friendly at all stages. Sasha is an accomplished player and was highly professional and reliable. I would certainly recommend him to other students.

Sasha is very dedicated tutor who makes your own goals his personal goal.

I had approached Sasha to accompany my daughter on her ARSM Diploma exam, not just in the capacity of an accompanist, but also as a coach who can guide her performance and correct as necessary. Sasha did an exemplary job of this, and in a short span of time, my daughter was able to progress to the level needed for the exam.

Sasha is always so generous with his time in giving feedback. He explains in a lot of detail what the student needs to do, to improve and I find this a very respectable, rare and unique quality as I have had accompanists in the past who have been so hasty to leave and giving some form of feedback was an inconvenience.

Sasha also immensely helped out with the kit for the recording as well as an unbelievable amount of post-recording support in terms of submitting the clip to ABRSM.
We are forever grateful for this support.

Sasha also teaches Maths - i only found this out quite late or I would have enrolled Maths classes for my daughter with Sasha too, which I have no doubt would be a very productive experience.

Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience. Sasha truly is one in a million and to work with his is simply an absolute pleasure.

I highly recommend Sasha - he is in a league of his own!
Thank you so much Sasha x

Sasha was warm and energetic in providing guidance and piano accompaniment to my son in preparation for his grade 1 saxophone exam, which we are pleased to say resulted in a Merit outcome.

Sasha has provided expert, tailored and exceptional music aural training to my children. His up to date knowledge of each syllabus, plus the ability to create bespoke sessions, has ensured success in exams and auditions over a number of years, and no doubt many more to come.
