Frances Thornton Ltd

Frances Thornton has been teaching my children for 4 years. In that time I have always found her full of energy and enthusiasm. She is a fantastic musician with a wealth of knowledge and has a wonderful rapport with her students. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

My son has had saxophone lessons with Frances for a number of years and I can’t recommend her enough. She is so encouraging, supportive and helpful and makes the lessons so much fun and enjoyment.

Frances has a unique way of teaching children, my 12 year old has been having piano lessons for nearly 5 years and wouldn’t want anyone else teaching her. Frances has taken her from grade 1 to working on grade 5 piano and currently grade 5 theory (during lockdown via Zoom). She is calm and reassuring. Frances believes in her students and never gives up on them and has a strong connection to each one.

Frances wholeheartedly deserves my 5* rating. She has been teaching my daughter (now age 13) for over 3 years, and has tirelessly adapted her lessons to suit my daughter's non-conventional way of learning. These lessons have been delivered in person, and more recently via Zoom through the COVID-19 crisis. Without the constant friendship, guidance and encouragement Frances has offered her, my daughter would have given up within the first 6 months. She is now so passionate about her love of music she is planning to pursue a career in music, and I know Frances will be behind her every step of the way. Thank you Frances!
