Welcome to
Hello my name is Patrick and I am guitar teacher based in Hanwell, West London. I have many years of experience in teaching electric, classical and bass guitar across a range of styles and abilities to both children and adults.
I am equally comfortable in teaching children and adults from beginner to advanced. I am a highly experienced gigging musician and can prepare students for exams, performances, or just for fun or own personal creativity. I can teach playing styles in different genres such as Rock, Metal, Jazz, Classical and others.
I am highly knowledgable in teaching TAB, notation and music theory. I have successfully guided countless students through graded exams from different boards including Trinity, LCM, Rockschool and others. I am a patient, friendly and knowledgeable teacher and am happy to cater my teaching approach to meet my individual students needs.

Get in touch today and start learning to play the guitar in Ealing.
I welcome students of all ages and abilities. For beginner children I tend to teach an all rounded programme of sight reading, music theory and playing technique as a foundation before moving on to a more specialist genre or playing style.
For adults I can cater my approach to what the student specifically wants to take from guitar lessons, although I am equally happy to guide the student with my own approach to guitar tuition. I regularly use technology to assist and enhance my teaching, and have a full studio setup from my base in Hanwell.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginners and advanced players to take my lessons. I will always make a lesson plan that suits your needs as a player and learner & we will work towards your goals.
I welcome beginner students.
I am the Lead Guitar Teacher for Tri-Borough Music Hub. I have years of experience teaching in schools across London as well as private tuition and gigging. As previously stated I like to use technology to enhance my teaching, I use programmes such as Guitar Pro and Logic Pro X frequently during lessons for various reasons.
I have years of experience in playing live and am able to use this to teach my students so that they are equipped to handle realistic live playing situations, including improvisation, and setting up and knowing how to work amplifiers and pedal boards.
Aside from the guitar I am competent on several other instruments including piano, drums, mandolin, banjo and others. I am a proficient music producer and expert in Logic Pro X and many other music production software programmes.
I also offer lessons for advanced students
For intermediate and advanced students I am able to expand repertoire and advise on and teach a number of challenging pieces across many genres. I am able to teach my own approach to fretboard knowledge, which will allow the student to become comfortable playing in different modes and scales in all positions across the neck.
I use a range of resources to improve right hand picking technique and left hand posture. I regularly enter students for exams from grades 5-8 in both classical and rock exam boards. I have also prepared many students for GCSE and A-Level music performances.
I am able to teach students how to record their own performance so that they can reflect on their playing and use this as a reference to improve their playing tone and technique.
I'm a professional player and performer who can help you improve all aspects of your playing. I will make sure your lessons are always of a high standard. My lessons will be built around the genres and styles that inspire you and we will work at a pace that you can feel comfortable with.

My lessons are charged at £25 per half hour and £40 per hour for all students.
I take my lessons from my home teaching space in the local area.
I teach both young learners and adults how to play the guitar.
Weekly lessons are by far the best way to improve your playing. This has to be combined with plenty of home practice as well.
Lessons cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will still be charged full price.
