Beginners and advanced players are welcome to take my lessons. I will always make a lesson plan that is based around your needs as a learner.
I welcome everyone!
I am a Darlington based guitar tutor and have played the guitar for over 30 years. I have a wealth of experience in music having gained a BaHons in music from Brunel University and more recently a Level 3 Award in Education and Training (QCF).
I have taught in the school system both in London and the Midlands for the Richmond Music Trust, Richmond Adult College, Arts in Education and privately for my own company DAJ Music Production. I have a passion for teaching guitar to all abilities, to help students across Darlington to develop their guitar playing ability and to give people a fun learning experience.
I've taught students at all levels and helped many advanced players get out of a rut. Please don't ever feel like something isn't achievable because together it is.
Electric & Acoustic Lessons
Alongside my experience as a guitar teacher, I have around 20 years experience in the music industry, gigging and touring during the 1990s “Britpop” era. Playing as a session musician and in my own bands writing, producing and recording.
More recently I have been composing for the TV and film industry from my studios firstly in London and now the Midlands where I write/produce and records for all forms of media specialising in TV theme and incidental music packages for production companies.
Published through Connexion Media Group and Universal Music Publishing with credits all over the world I have gained a reputation as a versatile musician and composer.
