Fergus teaches piano to the Associated Board syllabus. His students are all ages - from eight-year-old children to adults - all have an enthusiasm to learn, which Fergus finds infectious. Fergus also teaches Singing and Organ.

He has extensive teaching experience, and has trained both children and adults for competition, music exams, auditions, secondary school music entrance exams and performances.

Fergus himself, knows how to pass piano exams successfully: he took his letters in music in 1999. Longer ago, when he was at school, he was awarded the Sheila Mossman Prize for the highest marks in the UK for his piano Grade VIII exam.

In early 2006 he undetook a week of training with the Associated Board, focussing on how grade exams are administered and marked, and how examiners assess the performances they hear.

The Peterborough Evening Telegraph described him as an 'inspirational teacher' when he was nominated for a 'Pride in Peterborough' Award in the autumn of 2003.

As a member of the Private Teachers’ Section of the Incorporated Society of Musicians, the professional body for private music teachers in the UK, Fergus had to demonstrate qualifications, experience and a professional approach.
