”My son Callum started saxophone lessons with Nigel just over a year ago. Callum has really flourished since attending Blue Linnett Music with Nigel, we can see a huge benefit not just in his appreciation for music but other aspects of his development such as his confidence. Nigel has a natural talent of making his students feel at ease and holds no judgement but only support and encouragement. I could not recommend enough”
