Alison & Ed - Parents of Josie, Rosalind & Isaac (2022)

"My three children have had lessons with Jessica and also recently Eric since April 2019. They have enjoyed their lessons and developed a real love of the piano. They have also made huge progress with the eldest recently achieving a distinction in her grade 8 exam. The elder two have also taken theory exams, and all three have taken part in a variety of music festivals. Jessica and Eric are excellent teachers and I can’t recommend them highly enough."

"Jessica has been a fantastic piano teacher. She has constantly encouraged and inspired me. I have just passed my grade 8 with her and I am now studying music at university. I highly recommend her as a teacher!"

Caithriona & Dan - Parents of Ellie & Harry (2022)"Our kids love their weekly piano lessons with Jessica and Eric. One child is working on grade 6 piano and grade 6 voice, the other on grade 3 piano. The lessons are fun and engaging and the results undeniable. An excellent piano teacher is hard to find, with Jessica and Eric, you've hit the jackpot!"

Natasha - Parent of Megan (2020)

"During these uncertain times, I want to ensure that my daughters continue to experience an element of normality and routine. Both of them are now having piano lessons with Jessica online, which not only means they get to continue to develop their skills but Jessica can continue her excellent tuition."

Comments from Jessica's piano recital as part of the Summer Music on the Hilltop Day at St Martha's on the Hill (May 2017):

"I loved the different groups I managed to get to! We came in during the piano recital - she seemed quite phenomenal."

"Again it was a wonderful variety of musical entertainment. Each one special in its own way but I have to say that the two outstanding ones for me were Jessica on the piano who I thought was totally brilliant and the bagpipes and organ at the end."

"Very impressed with Jessica Gale and her dedication. Spoke to her afterwards, what
a gift!"

Comments in a letter from Jessica and Mark's performance at St Eligius Community Church, Arborfield Green (August 2018):

"Jessica, your performance of The Lark by Glinka/Balakirev, all from memory, was virtuosic! You expressed the tenderness in the piece and one could imagine the soaring lark with its trills and swift descents!"

"Schubert's Fantasy in F minor is indeed a masterpiece and masterfully performed by you both together! You brought out the beautiful melody with its later almost haunting variations and expressed the contrasts between the four movements from lyrical to the dramatic! It really was a most thrilling performance of a very demanding composition. People were fascinated to watch your four hands on the keyboard and amazed at the various finger positions at times!"

Jessica as a singer

"The final song, Life of the Party, had character with a good feel for the style evident with the accent
consistent and the nuances of pitching were most effective. Rhythmic singing and very effective
projection of the essence of the song in this very well communicated and convincing performance.

A very well projected and musically committed performance with the sequencing and pacing of the
programme well managed. Stylistic realisation was strong and character was effectively conveyed. Phrases had shape and dynamics were musically applied.
Diction was very good throughout. A fine sense of performance."
