I'm an experienced guitar player and performer and I've taught students of all ages during my time teaching. I would recommend starting no younger than 6 though.
I teach a wide array of genres and styles including Rock, Blues, Metal, Jazz, Pop, Electronic, Classical & many more.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginners and advanced players alike. I will always make a lesson plan that suits your skill level.
I started studying classical guitar when he was eleven years old and, after a few years, the study of modern music such as blues, rock, and jazz, totally captured me. During these years I gained a deep knowledge of these styles studying under the guidance of the well-known Italian teacher, composer, and arranger Giancarlo Perna with whom I also studied arranging and composing.
My love and devotion for music even took me to New York City where I spent few months playing for local artists and attending lessons with some of the top international players and teachers ( Jonathan Kreisberg, Adam Rogers).
I play different music styles, mostly rock, blues, and jazz. I've enjoyed playing in different bands and for different kinds of artists in the studio and at many venues. In 2015, holding a BMus in Jazz Guitar from the Conservatory of Music San Pietro a Majella, I decided to move to London where I also work as a session musician and composer, collaborating with studios based in London and Los Angeles to write music for movie trailers.
I deeply enjoy teaching students of all ages and in different styles, doing guitar masterclasses regarding my favourite music genres and writing arrangements for my band classes. I'm always committed to sharing my passion for the guitar.
I feel that my experience allows me to really create personalised lesson plans that can suit any kind of player and learner. We will always learn the music that you love and learn about the genres that you are interested in.
Above all else, I just want my students to enjoy themselves & I will always make sure my lessons are personalised around my students. I think that when a student enjoys something they will always make great progress.

I'm an eclectic guitarist, a passionate teacher and a music producer with a creative and dynamic approach across a vast range of music styles. I've been teaching for years, working with students of different ages and musical styles. My lessons are intended to develop skills as improvisation, performance, theory, reading, technique and to study in deep different styles such as blues, rock, jazz and pop, expanding the student's own potentiality. I help students through their grades with international exam boards (Trinity College London; RockSchool; RGT; ABRSM).
[email protected]My lessons are charged at £25 per half hur and £40 per hour for all students.
I teach from my music studio in South East London, SE26 4SD.
I teach both beginners and advanced players but I recommend starting no younger than aged 6.
In my opinion, weekly lessons and plenty of practice at home is the best and only way to improve your playing.
Lessons cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will still be charged full price.
