Adam Simpson Has Some Very Exciting News With
His Teaching Videos
"Adam taught my son grade 4 music theory and continually kept his motivation. He was interested, able to simplify complex exercises to the easiest understanding and elevated his music theory to another stage. Adam is patient and he turns music theory challenges into joyful knowledge gains.''
Mira - Mother
"I began piano lessons with no previous piano or instrumental experience. Adam doesn’t shock you by putting too much pressure on, so I found it easy to learn and was surprised how quickly I was able to play songs. He’s an interactive teacher and he showed me what to do by playing the song first."
Vanessa
"Adam was a great mentor in preparing me for university pre-selection; willing to go an extra mile to make sure I was prepared for every evaluation. Adam helped me meet the criteria to gain entrance into a Bachelor of Applied Music (Composition) at Box Hill Institute."
