Ford Barker Piano Studio

I highly recommend Ford Barker. I started learning piano last year. I'm 28 and Ford was able to accommodate to my work schedule. It's been a year now and I saw a great progress in my learning process. Ford has also the full setup for online lesson if needed. He is following the Royal Conservatory of Music method. He will ensure you build up the fundamental skills if you are a starter to make sure your continuous progress.

Ford is a wonderful teacher and makes learning the piano fun! His lessons are tailored and accordingly paced for each student, building on their strengths and paying extra attention to areas where they need help. He is extremely patient and encouraging, and can put even the most nervous student completely at ease. I recommend him highly to anyone looking to learn to play the piano!

Ford is a wonderful teacher, I am an adult student. Even I had learned to play piano for past 17 years on and off with different teachers, my performance is still not good and had some bad habits. Since I started to take lesson from Ford, he corrected that which I found really helpful in my daily practice. I love Ford’s teaching style, he is amazing patient.

Ford is an excellent piano instructor - kind, patient and knowledgable. As a beginner who try to squeeze time from busy working days to learn piano, Ford worked out a schedule and pace for me. I have been taking lessons since last year and really appreciate his teaching and interesting stories behind each music piece we practice.

As a retired music teacher ,I have returned to playing after a 20 year hiatus. I feel that Ford is a professional and knowledgeable teacher who is thorough and able to communicate exactly what is needed to help me return to the piano in my later years. Teaching on Zoom" must be incredibly difficult

Ford Barker is an Outstanding Piano Teacher. He has an easy going and unassuming manner, but behind that is a depth of Musical knowledge and Piano Technique. I started with Ford one year ago and am amazed at how much I have learnt in that time. I attribute this to his Natural teaching ability. He brings structure and direction but also inspiration to continue. Ford engages with his students guiding you through / around obstacles. This is why Ford is the right teacher for me and the right teacher for anyone with an interest at learning to play Piano.

After not having taken lessons since I was a child, as a mature student, I was initially apprehensive about whether I could acquire and develop new skills. I then learned about Ford Barker and decided to give it a go. I have been taking lessons with Ford for the last few months. I like his approach. He follows a structured approach, astute, kind, patient, and most importantly, has motivated me to want to learn to be more proficient at playing the piano. In just a few short months, I have been able to pick up new skills and have greater playing confidence. I'm really enjoying this process and am glad that I met a teacher who could instil a desire for me to want to learn.

I've had a couple of piano teachers in the past but Ford has been the only one I've felt comfortable with. His lessons are always a relaxed atmosphere but totally focused on the lesson. He's very patient and explains technique clearly with good instruction how to practice at home. Over all, I'm delighted with my progress so far. I highly recommend Ford if you're looking for solid piano tutoring

Ford is a great teacher. He's patient and knowledgeable abut piano techniques, repetoire and styles. I am an adult student and he is encouraging and positive. Under his guidance, I have improved tremendously. He is excellent on the classics: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin. I recommend Ford Barker as a teacher of piano.

I took piano lessons with Ford for 7 years and cannot speak more highly of a piano teacher. He helped me learn classical piano to the best of my abilities and prepare and succeed in my Grade 7, 8, and 9 RCM piano exams. What also stands out to me about my experience with Ford is what he taught me about perseverance and dedication and the skills I developed through piano have stuck with me. I could not reflect better on my experience taking lessons with Ford.
