Leopold Auer Music Academy

Ned is the real deal. He gets down to the root of any musical or technical issue, breaks it apart, systematically explains ways to improve, and then helps put everything back together in a succinct and efficient manner. I would highly recommend his teaching to anyone looking to really take their playing to the next level.

Ned's dedication to musical excellence is something he inspires and instills in every student, and he has the skill to back up his passion! Would highly recommend Leopold Auer Music Academy!

Ned is an inspiring violin teacher who has truly pushed me to be the best musician I can be. As a violin student of more than 10 years, I feel that I improved astronomically under Ned's guidance in the brief yet impactful period he taught me for. He is a very insightful, profound musician with a strong sense of discipline and thoughtful musicality. He is attentive to his students' needs and solid in his teaching principles. Above all, he is a very caring and dedicated teacher, and it has been an absolute privilege to take lessons from him and blossom under his tutelage.

Ned is an excellent violin teacher who exhibits top qualities of a music educator. His immense expertise in violin playing and its relevant literature has facilitated my understanding of my violin repertoire and improved my playing tremendously. I feel motivated to practise after each lesson because I feel well-equipped with the necessary techniques required to cope with the inflated demands of my repertoire. Above all, Ned’s strong passion for music inspires his students to stay persistently motivated. His calm demeanour puts his students at ease and his patience for his students to make progress is invaluable.
