I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Dunnington as a professional piano/violin/music theory teacher. He has been our sons' piano teacher for the past 6 years. They have moved schools twice in that time and despite opportunities to receive lessons at school we have declined as we strongly feel that the rapport they have developed, together with his teaching style is invaluable. We travel 47 miles to bring our sons from school to their piano lessons! They have steadily progressed up the ABRSM grades in both piano and music theory gaining constantly high marks. One of our sons has also started playing the violin which Mr Dunnington teaches. We always sit in the lessons had have first hand experience of the manner he directs, instructs, inspires, and motivates our sons demonstrating compassion, patience, flexibility, and humour. He imparts the qualities of music appreciation, the joy of learning, and the drive and desire to progress and perfect. We have observed his teaching style adapt as our sons grow up and improve their musical ability and knowledge. He makes use of digital recording, providing us with a record of the first pieces they learnt at the age of six up to present by producing a CD every Christmas. Inspired, my husband has also been receiving lessons for the last two years. Mr Dunnington is an extremely talented musician, pianist and violinist with very effective and adaptive teaching methods. He is an outstanding teacher. Mrs G.B.
Mark Dunnington is an extremely accomplished, versatile and knowledgeable musician and an excellent teacher. He imparts his knowledge in a calm, patient and encouraging manner using stimulating, innovative methods. Our daughter has flourished under his inspirational tuition. I would, highly, recommend him.
