I began teaching guitar at the age of 18, just before going to study at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I honed my teaching skills whilst still a student myself and have since had many pupils, from children to middle-aged people, with various interests and abilities. Coming from a classical background and having studied more contemporary styles including jazz, I can cater to whatever genre a student is interested in, whilst emphasising key fundamentals such as reading notation and basic harmonic understanding. Many of my older students have wanted to develop their technique just enough to be able to play through some pop songs, so I now consider myself quite adept at identifying aspects of a person’s playing which when fixed can really elevate their playing. It’s important to me that I make learning the guitar enjoyable as well as informative, so I try to make lessons as interactive and as fun as possible.

Hi! I’m a student at the Royal Northern College of Music studying singing and composition. I have a very flexible teaching style, I know all too well how important it is that your teacher is adapting to the way that you work best! I have experience teaching people of all ages and am happy to take on any students! Alongside my speciality in singing and composition, I have extensive training in classical piano and can teach at all levels. I truly believe that it is never too late to start learning an instrument or to sing (one of the most amazing singers I know started when he was in his fifties!). I’m happy to travel to teach or can teach in the facilities of the RNCM. Don’t hesitate to send me a message to find out more! I am in demand as a singer across the country and have sung with the Dorset Opera Festival and the Oxford Opera Festival recently. I finished my undergraduate degree at the Univeristy of Manchester with first class honours and am currently finishing the prestigious Graduate Diploma at the RNCM.

Hi I’m Charlie! I teach piano, guitar, bass and ukulele and have counted to over 10,000 hours of music lessons throughout my career. After obtaining my music degree (BMus Hons) in 2014, I began teaching music in multiple schools and private institutions, gradually building up to a personal network of private students. Having been in so many different musical interactions has kept me agile as a teacher and be aware of the versatility required to master the art of tuition. I began doing one-to-one lessons online at the start of lockdown in 2020, realising it was the only way to progress as a teacher and for also students to progress. During this time I discovered the advantage of learning an instrument in the comfort of your own home, whilst having the same quality as a face to face lesson, which led to rapid developments of my students! For many aspiring musicians, the thought of learning to play can be daunting; therefore as a tutor I provide an engaging and supportive learning environment that helps students build confidence and improve their playing ability. When I am not teaching, I perform in multiple bands and compose and release solo music. One of my favourite aspects of music is the aspect of composition; taking your own musical influences and toying around with them to create something unique is a thrilling experience! Since teaching in 2016, I have had a 100 percent pass rate with students entered in Guitar, Bass and Piano grades, from 1-8, mainly achieving the highest credentials! Qualifications: B (Mus) Hons degree , University of Huddersfield
Qualifications: BA (Hons) Popular Music & Recording, Grade 8 Guitar, Diploma in Advanced Studio Techniques & Mastering
