I first met Mr. Fletcher when I was lucky enough to be accepted in St. Thomas' men & boys’ choir where he held position of Choir Master. Although having no prior musical training, over the following years I became an enthusiastic chorister with a newly found appreciation for choral music, compiling a large list of all my favourite pieces I encountered during an invaluable musical experience. It is testament to his teaching techniques as well as his dedication, that despite my previous non-musicality I could ultimately be transformed into a Head Chorister. With engrained musical habits which were now second nature, (thanks to the training I received during my time in the choir), I decided to become a Piano student under Mr. Fletcher. His friendly yet professional approach has again instilled a passion and appreciation for something I would not otherwise have been lucky enough to experience. Personal preference with regards to the direction of my tuition is met with enthusiasm and support as are my numerous questions which are always answered with a great knowledge and clarity. This is a key difference between him and lesser teachers who instead peddle a superficial approach through lack of explanation or focus on musical understanding.
