Guitar Lessons Brighton

My Experience as a Teacher

After 3 years of being self-taught I began my professional career at the age of 17, playing in covers bands and committing hours of non stop focus to my musical development. Given my shared enthusiasm to playing and performing, I quickly began to realise that there was a real drive to construct, write and execute compositions whilst demonstrating a true passion for emotive storytelling.

Over the past 17 years I have been fortunate to tour the UK, work with internationally renowned producers and musicians, played on several of the UK’s music festivals stages and multiple projects I have worked on and have received international radio broadcasts including national UK stations such as BBC Radio ONE and BBC Radio 6 Music.

Since 2018 I have been teaching and mentoring students of all levels. From beginners to intermediate teachers finding their feet within another musical medium. I’ve helped develop students on a range of instruments including; Guitar, Bass Guitar, Piano as well as helping singers and producers to develop their musicality and evolve their unique musical voice.

More About My Lessons

I was inspired to start teaching shortly after realising a gap within the tutor market. There wasn’t enough diversity across theoretical and practical knowledge. Two of the main requirements to keep up with a fast paced and forever changing landscape of the modern music world.

My lessons are developed in collaboration with my students to produce bespoke content to enhance a more enjoyable learning experience. A creative life does need structure and a willingness to commit as well as a mentor that is patient and nurturing. I consult and collaborate with my students in order to help them reach their goals, whilst understanding that personal objectives may shift, or their latest band/project/student demands a new skill from them. As an example, a singing teacher may find that they need to up their piano skills to keep up with their students.

Perhaps you are classically trained and can sight read, but you would like to develop your improvisational abilities… Or maybe you just decided that you lugging your keyboard to every show is too much and you want to learn your songs on guitar… These are the things that I excel at and inspire me to share my unique and modern approach to advancing your musical skills.
