Welcome to
Hi everyone! My name is Cruz Arnold & I'm a professional banjo and guitar teacher based in London. My lessons are always enjoyable and built around the music you love.
I'm an experienced music teacher and player who can help you supercharge your playing in no time.
I'm happy to work with students of all levels and abilities and covers a lot of “ground” in the first lessons.

Get in touch today to find out more about my banjo lessons.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginners and advanced players & will always make a lesson plan that works for you & is in a direction that you want to learn in.
I am a professional musician offering high-quality remote guitar lessons direct from my recording studio, appropriate for students young and old. I am very experienced working with children and I am fully DBS checked, with an advanced certificate as part of my volunteer training at King's College Hospital.
After years of experience in the London live music scene I then gainged a degree in musical performance, and I have been teaching guitar and performing as a session guitar player and singer ever since.
I pride myself on offering the best tuition for my students. I make sure they learn in a way that appeals to them.
My lessons are always built around the styles and genres that you love to learn as a listener. I like to make sure we learn in a direction you feel comfortable with and that you enjoy. Sadly, due to Covid, most of my lessons are now being taken online.
I broadcast my lessons live from my professional recording studio, with my equipment and instruments on the show and always available. Personal lesson reviews, practice tasks, and supplementary audio/video materials follow each lesson.
Once Covid-19 lockdown is lifted and everyone's safety is assured, I will be pleased to offer in-person lessons again, at the students' house or at my studio.
London has a great range of music stores as you probably know. Here are a few I would recommend checking out if you play the banjo.
Hobgoblin London, is a great option if you are looking for an all round music store that caters to both banjo and guitar players. You can find them at 24 Rathbone Place, London, W1T 1JA.
John Alvey Turner, is the place to go if you are looking for a banjo specialist that also offer repair services. You can find them at 8, 43 Carol St, Camden Town, London NW1 0HT.
Wunjo Guitars, stocks a wide range of both banjos for all playing levels and price ranges. they are located at 5 Denmark St, West End, London WC2H 8LU.
I'm a professional guitar player and banjo teacher offering high quality banjo lessons for students of all ages in a wide range of styles. I will make sure you learn the styles and genres that you both love and enjoy. We will learn in a direction that you feel comfortable learning in.
[email protected]My lessons are charged at £20 per half hour and £30 per hour for all students.
My lessons are often held in my studio located in central London. However, I also offer online banjo lessons via Zoom and Skype.
I teach students of all ages and recommend starting from age 6.
Weekly lessons are the best way to improve over a short period of time. Keep in mind, you also have to practice plenty at home.
Should the pupil/parent/guardian inform me that they are not able to attend a scheduled lesson at least 48 hours before the scheduled lesson time, they will not be charged for the missed lesson, and a new lesson time may be arranged.
Banjo lessons for all ages in London!
