My Mission

Electric, Acoustic & Bass Lessons

I offer lessons in electric, acoustic, classical and bass guitar as well as various other stringed instruments including banjo, mandolin and ukelele. Building my skills on multiple instruments has helped me become adept at many styles that I now teach regularly.

Having taught instrumental lessons for 30 years, I have picked up several qualifications along the way. I am an examiner for the London College of Music, a writer for the Banjo, Mandolin And Guitar Society Magazine, quality ensured through the BwD Music Group, DBS checked and a proud recipient of the 'Experienced Exam Tutor' status by the RGT.
