Lessons Tailored To You
I have been a Music teacher for the last 20 years. During this time, I have divided my passion for teaching music between working with young kids in IB schools as a curricular teacher and being also Guitar and Bass instructor. I truly believe that motivation is the primary key and the fuel to start learning a musical instrument or even Music theory. That is why for me as a teacher, relationships with learners are an essential piece of my education journey.

Learn All Styles & Genres
As a guitar teacher, I love helping students explore a wide variety of music styles—it’s one of the most exciting parts of learning to play! Whether you're interested in the rhythmic strumming of acoustic guitar, the electrifying riffs of electric guitar, or even experimenting with folk or pop music, I tailor lessons to suit your goals and interests.
Acoustic, Folk, and Pop
If you're drawn to the warm, natural tones of the acoustic guitar, we can explore folk melodies, singer-songwriter styles, and popular music hits. These genres are perfect for beginners as they provide a strong foundation for many chord progressions and strumming patterns. Guitar tutors like me are here to show you how fun and fulfilling it is to craft beautiful music with just six strings!
The Power of Electric Guitar
For those who want to dig into electric guitar and experience its dynamic range, I teach everything from smooth blues licks to high-energy rock anthems. This is where techniques like bending, slides, and power chords come to life, and it's also a great way to develop your confidence as a guitarist.
Expanding Horizons with Theory
Understanding music theory can empower you to write your own songs and play with more freedom. I incorporate theory into lessons in a way that’s approachable and practical—learning scales, chord construction, and progressions turns into tools you can apply to any style!
Exploring Other Instruments
On top of guitar, I can guide you through learning the ukulele or even the bass guitar. Both of these are great complements to your guitar skills and offer a broader perspective on music. Whether you’re taking this on as a hobby or preparing for a university course, the possibilities are endless!
With my flexible teaching options—like online classes or private lessons—you’ll have the freedom to learn on your schedule. I’m an extremely kind and patient tutor, and I find joy in making music lessons incredibly engaging and fun. Whether you're a beginner or brushing up on your skills, playing music should always be a rewarding experience. Feel free to reach out, and we’ll start this exciting musical adventure together!
Improve Your Technique On Guitar
When it comes to playing the guitar, there are so many exciting techniques to explore that can help you grow as a musician and have more fun with your playing. Whether you're just starting out or looking to build on what you already know, I tailor my lessons to help you master techniques that complement your style and goals.
Fingerpicking and Strumming
Fingerpicking is one of my favourite techniques to teach because it works beautifully in folk and pop music. It brings a softer, melodic touch to your playing and really helps you develop precision and control. On the other hand, strumming focuses on rhythm and energy. It’s especially fun to practice with your favorite pop or rock songs. Together, we can explore how to make each strum or pluck feel natural and expressive.
Lead Guitar and Soloing
If you’re looking to dive into lead guitar, we can explore techniques like bending, slides, and hammer-ons to make your solos shine. With a little music theory, I’ll help you understand scales and how they connect, so you can confidently improvise and create your own solos during a jam session or performance. These lessons aren’t just about learning notes—you’ll start to feel how music flows and experiment with your creativity.
Chord Progressions and Styles
Building a solid foundation in chord transitions and progressions is essential for any guitarist. Whether you love the soulful tones of folk music or upbeat pop hits, I’ll teach you how to approach chords for these styles and make them sound seamless. Once you’re comfortable, we can even tackle more advanced classes on barre chords, alternate tunings, and dynamic strumming patterns.

Teaching guitar is more than just a job to me—it’s a way to connect with people and inspire creativity. Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or you're an experienced player looking to sharpen your skills, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. My lessons are tailored to suit all ages and skill levels, ensuring each student gets a unique and enriching experience. Music is for everyone, and I can't wait to help you discover the joy of playing guitar.
