Just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks for all your efforts during the course of you teaching me. Thank you for inspiring and encouraging me.

After leaving my previous teacher due to unforeseen circumstances, I joined Piano-Forte with Manishka Bhogal as my teacher, in May 2018. My first piece was “Clouds” by Pam Wedgwood, after a few of lessons Manishka said that it would be great to have that piece played at the end of the year recital. I was very doubtful; I had not mastered any of the pieces that I had previously worked on. One of my difficulties was timing, but she said that my timing would be good in 2 to 3 months. She gave me easier pieces so that I could build a solid foundation, I feel that I made great progress throughout the year. It is specially gratifying to have developed fairly good timing. Before the end of the … Read more

I have really enjoyed my time with Manishka. Her constantly encouraging manner made all the difference and helped to give me more confidence with my playing. She always went the extra mile to try help me reach where I wanted to be with my playing and enabled me to do my Trinity Grade 3 exam which I will be forever grateful for. This is not something I had thought I would be able to do. Even now that she has moved away she is still trying to help me improve through sending me sheet music. I admire how she is also constantly working to improve herself so that she may help her students and keep the passion of her own progress going. Her sincerity and patience makes her a really wonderf… Read more

My 8 year old son started piano lessons with Manishka at the beginning of last year (2018). Manishka is a wonderful teacher for children and for adults, she individualizes her approach for each student. Manishka is kind but firm; patient but has expectations. My son had taken two years of piano lessons prior to his year with Manishka but had not learnt to read music or play pieces. Under Manishka’s tutelage however, I would say he has learnt a few pieces and played beautifully and with confidence at his recital. I was deeply pleased with my sons progress over the last year and highly recommend Manishka as a teacher.

My daughter (aged 13) has attended lessons with Manishka for about a year. Manishka’s professionalism, patience and amazing talent is the reason for my daughter’s confidence and growth in playing the piano/keyboard. I would highly recommend Piano-Forte.

Manishka has been very helpful to me, a student who started a little later in life, and as someone who has never played the piano or read music before. Lessons are interesting, paced, and very accommodating to my personal taste in music. My progress over my first year has been better than I could have ever imagined which only motivates me further. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who has always wanted to start classes but never got around to it.

Aneska

My daughter having no background to playing the piano or reading music started at Piano Forte in February 2017 – she can now read music from the prescribed books and convert that to beautiful melodic music on her keyboard. Manishka developed her self confidence by encouraging her students, instills patience in them to learn a piece and appreciate the essence of music as a whole.

So I started my lessons with the school in June 17 at the age of 30. I didn’t think I would catch on and learn to play so many songs by the end of the year. I can play “My heart will go on” by Celine Dion. Wow! Manishka is a great teacher, she’s also very patient. Thanks for being patient with me and encouraging me to keep playing. I’m looking forward to another year of growing and improving my playing. If you think you’re too old to play …it’s a lie ..I recommend Piano-forte to anyone who wants to play piano …young and old!
