Hi, my name is Alan Green and I am a professional guitar player/teacher offering guitar lessons to students of all ages and backgrounds based in the Dunmow area.
Playing an instrument can be frustrating some times and as such I like to try and ensure that my lessons are kept as fun and relaxed as possible to ensure a comfortable learning environment. I believe learning an instrument should be fun and will always try to keep it that way.
My lesson plans are tailored and suited to the individual student. I understand that we all like different bands and artists and as such we all have different musical goals when it comes to learning an instrument.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch for more information on booking your first guitar lesson.
My lessons are tailored and suited to all students no matter what your current playing level is. Whether you're looking to pick up a guitar for the first time, or you're looking to take things to that next level, the lessons provided can cater for all students.
I have experience working with students from aged 6+. I appreciate that the way in which children learn is different to how an adult would learn so the lessons are always adapted accordingly to suit that specific student.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I have been playing the guitar for many years and in that time I have studied and played in a wide range of genres and styles. My lessons include simple Pop songs, all the way through to the more advanced classical guitar songs. I will always select songs and pieces I think are specifically appropriate to you.
Introduction to Guitar and Getting Started
I have been playing the guitar since around 1974 and have been professionally teaching guitar since 2003. In my early days of learning the guitar I played lots of Punk and Metal, whereas now I'm currently performing as a lead guitar player for the Essential Sounds Big Band which primarily consists of dance music and Jazz. I also do perform as a solo act on the Wedding/Functions circuit.
A lot of the students I work with study from the graded exam syllabus published by the London College of Music, Registry of Guitar Tutors or Trinity Rock and RSL (formerly Rockschool). I can also teach my students up to ABRSM standards upon request. There is no pressure to take the exams at all, but they are a popular way of comparing your skillset against a global standard.
Whether you're looking for structured and in depth guidance to become the best guitar player or if you're just looking to play in your bedroom for fun, together we can decide on a selection of songs and exercises to work through together and get you on your way to being the guitar player you've always wanted to be.
I teach guitar in a wide range of styles and genres.
No matter what your tastes are in music, the lessons provided can cater for students from all different backgrounds and styles. I have experience playing and teaching in many genres such as Classical, Pop, Rock, Metal and Punk.
I have graduated with a BA Hons Degree in Humanities with a specialism in Music as well as having a grade 8 distinction award in Classical Guitar. These skills and experiences have proven very useful and I now feel ready to pass and share these skills on to you.
I hold a full and active DBS Certificate so please feel free to approach me with any questions you may have. Overall, I am a passionate musician who loves what I do and loves to talk all things music, so whether you're looking for technical advice, or tips on buying your first guitar, I'm always here and happy to help.
I often get asked where's a good place to buy a new guitar, so below I have listed some nearby places you can try for all things guitar.
Unfortunately, there aren't many music stores in or around Dunmow to try so I have listed a few stores that can be accessed by a short drive or online.
Andertons, based in Guildford (58 Woodbridge Road, GU1 4RF) is well worth a visit for students interested in purchasing guitar equipment. Having supplied me with my main stage electric I can recommend the store.
Allegro Music, located 95 High St, Chelmsford CM1 1DX is a great store that you can try for all things music. They sell a huge range of instruments, specifically guitars and accessories such as amps, pedals etc that suit all budgets and price ranges.
Gig Gear, is located Unit B, St James Centre, East Rd, Temple Fields, Harlow CM20 2SX. This is a great all round music store that as the name suggests sells all things to do with gigging gear, including a huge selection of guitars for you to choose from.
I am a passionate guitar player who loves all things music and loves to share this with others. Together we will create a tailored lesson plan and make sure we are always striving to your own personal guitar goals.

The lessons are £13 for half an hour or £25 for an hour.
The lessons can either be taken at my home teaching space in Dunmow, CM6 3QU or online using services like Zoom, FaceTime or Skype.
I teach students of all ages from 6+.
No, you can take the lessons as and when you please. I would recommend one hour a week for the best results.
If I cancel a lesson for any reason I will make up that lesson at a later date. If you are unable to attend, please let me have 24 hours notice. I will be sympathetic to "leaves on the line" problems but please try not to make them a habit as it will impede your learning.
Feel free to get in touch for more information on booking your first guitar lesson!
