``The standout feature of the Bach was the elegance of the playing. It really won me over. Taughtly executed, lyrical… and just an inescapable sense that it belonged on the instrument in the space in which we were hearing it. Wonderful`` - Richard Powell, British Organist

Testimonials

"During the two years I had Francesca as a teacher I saw my technique improve immensely thanks to her insightful tips and vast knowledge, to the point where I was able to take on challenging repertoire that would have been out of my reach before. She helped me develop healthier practice habits and a clearer sense of artistic direction that improved my playing significantly. Her lessons were designed to target my weaker points and get me to address the gaps in my technique while still placing expression and artistry at the centre of the process."

Francisca Naranjo, King’s College London graduate student

"Francesca is superb - she is thorough in her approach, works in detail, and has a forensic ear. She brings the language to the music and vice versa, and won over the chorus with her clarity of delivery, gentle persistence and sense of humour."
