My Mission

Students of All Ages and Abilities Welcome

I am a professional guitar teacher who has been playing the guitar now for over 12+ years. I am a self taught guitar player and I still enjoy playing the guitar just as much now as I did when I first started all those years ago, if not more. I have a real passion for teaching/playing music and I am happy to work with students of all age groups and ability levels.

I pride myself on offering high quality lessons to suit anyone and feel it's never too early or too late to pick up a guitar. I am very keen to help and support my students on their musical journey to becoming the best guitar player they can be. I work with both young and adult learners and fully appreciate that we all learn differently from each other. As such I will always adapt my teaching style to suit you as best as I can.

My Lessons

Professional and Informative Lessons

I take great pride in offering the highest quality lessons that I can. My main teaching method is by working through your favorite songs and material by the artists that you love most. This ensures that not only do you improve and get better on your instrument but you are also rewarded with being able to play those riffs and solos that you love the most too. I feel more than confident and able to work with any student from any genre or musical walk of life.

I will always do my best to and keep my lessons as relaxed and informative as possible. I want to make sure that my students feel comfortable in the lessons and I want you to go away from our classes feeling excited with what you've just learnt and keen to go away and practice. The lessons will be tailored to suit your specific musical needs and to make sure that we are always progressing at a pace that suits you as an individual.

Beginners & Advanced Students Welcome

Any student is more than welcome to take lessons with me. No matter if you have never played the guitar before, or if you have been playing for years, my lessons are tailored to suit anyone.

My Experience as a Teacher

I’m a guitar teacher who mainly specialises in training beginners and intermediates and helps them get started at playing the guitar and to help them build those all important basic foundations. Over the years of teaching guitar I’ve taught dozens of students and I am constantly learning new and more engaging ways to teach. My aim is for every student of mine to be able to express themselves confidently, passionately and excitingly, no matter what the style of music is.

A few years back I joined a band, and started learning how to play the mandolin. At this time something clicked in my head and I decided I wanted to start taking music more seriously and really strived to improve my skills as a musician. Eventually I started to see learning theory and new techniques more as a hobby rather than a chore. Since then I have dedicated as much free time as I possibly can to learning and improving on my instrument.

Having studied how to play the guitar for such a long time, I am now really pleased to be in a position where I can share my knowledge and the skills that I have developed with my students. Finding my true passion for music and playing the guitar is something that has brought me great joy over the years and I take great pride in being able to offer this experience to others too. Seeing students play their favorite songs for the first time is incredibly rewarding.

More About My Lessons

My lessons can cater for any guitar player, no matter if you are a total beginner or an intermediate player. The lessons will include insight on many of the various musical topics we have such as Scales, Arpeggios, Chord extensions, Chord relationships, Melody + Composition, Artist study as well as a whole other range of musical theory topics and practical elements.

I like to try and offer well rounded lessons that cover such a wide range of information to allow you to not only improve at playing your instrument, but to allow you to grow and develop as an all round musician too. Many of these skills have real world applications and will allow you to start performing and playing live shows or jamming sessions with friends if that is something you want to do.

Most of my students tend to take a regular one hour lesson with me each week. I find that this tends to offer the most consistent development and progress however you are more than welcome to take lessons as and when it suits you. Some younger learners may be more interested in the half hour sessions if keeping the attention span for long periods of time is difficult.
