Inspirational piano teacher. In three
years that my son Luca was with Brenda he achieved
three distinctions and numerous merits both in
practical and theory exams. Luca, only nine,
reached grade 5 this year with ease, confidence and
joy that is every parents dream to find a good teacher
that will nurture their son's talent and continued
progress. Brenda provides well balanced music
education with regular opportunities for invaluable
experience of public performance and meeting other
pupils including Christmas Concert, video taped
charity fundraising event, attending first festival -
taking home honours. Highly professional teacher
with excellent rapport with her enchanted pupil,
promoting same qualities in this youngster with
firmness and warmth that as a parent I can only highly
recommend Brenda to any parent and Luca says with
delight: "Mrs Odgon is the best, kindest
teacher. I look forward going to piano lessons
with Mrs Odgon".

In a short time Mrs. Ogdon has won my
daughter's respect and admiration. She has furthered
our whole family's interest in piano music, and has
got my daughter the very high examination marks I
wanted. None of this should be very surprising given
who Mrs Ogdon is. (The facts are amply recorded
elsewhere: CV, press cuttings, etc.).
Not one given to extravagance, I
have declined to follow up other, unsolicitied, lower
priced offerings of tuition. Mrs Ogdon's teaching, her
example and her skill are worth every penny. In a word:
outstanding, and completely without fault. A rarity.

May I take this opportunity to say how much
I am enjoying your tuition and guidance. The
improvement of my playing, technique and approach is
far beyond my expectations.
A. Cobb, an adult
student
I wanted to write and tell you how much I am
enjoying and feeling the benefit of my piano lessons.
When I came to you some two years
ago, I had not played for a twenty year period and thought
it would take me a long time to get back to my previous
Grade 8 standard. However, through a combination of
your rigour and inspiration, my confidence and technique
have developed to bring me up to a standard where I can
cope with Grade 8 pieces - and beyond!
Further, given your performance
background, your attention to the detail of performance has
illuminated some of my favourite pieces and increased my
enjoyment in playing them.
So thank you for all the hard
work.
Susan, a diploma
student
