Welcome to
Hello! My name is Simon Stephenson and I am a professional guitar tutor located in Hanoi. I offer personalised guitar lessons in the Hanoi area.
I like to make sure every lesson you take is of the highest quality. I teach a wide range of genres & like to make sure I am always open to all genres that you would like to learn on the acoustic and electric guitars.
I currently specialise in teaching teenagers and adults & I have vast experience in doing so. The most important thing when learning the guitar is to enjoy yourself. Because of this, I like to make sure all of my lessons are really enjoyable for all of my students.

I have had experience performing and teaching guitar in a variety of styles, however I specialise in Folk, Acoustic, Singer/Songwriter, Pop and Rock music. Whatever your tastes, I am sure I can teach you to play your favourite songs on the guitar.
I like to create a plan of lessons that is personalised to each student. I understand no two students learn the same way, so we can create a plan of lessons based on your individual goals and learning needs.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I teach students of all ages and abilities to play the guitar from 13+.
Since graduating from the Folk and Traditional Music Degree at Newcastle in 2010 I have worked as a professional musician as a performer with different ensembles (Birze, Five Men No Dog, Solo) and as a peripatetic guitar teacher, this has greatly influenced my style of teaching.
I have performed all over the UK and Europe and are an exponent of the acoustic finger-style guitar technique as well as other styles.
I am an experienced guitarist who has been achieved a PGCE in Secondary Education Music and have worked as a secondary school music teacher. Previously I also achieved a BMUS in Folk and Traditional Music.
I like to provide a tailored lesson plan for each student based on your individual goals. If you would like to learn your favourite songs, pass grade exams or even perform on stage, I can help you on your musical journey.
I am experienced in teaching strumming, chords, scales and even how to improvise and create melodies with the guitar. I specialise in fingerstyle technique which makes me a very unique musician.
As I am an active performer, I try to apply all this experience and skills during my lessons so my students are able to see how it is relevant to the musical experiences they look for in context.
Hanoi has a bustling music scene with many things always going on in the area. With this comes a wide selection of music stores. Here are the ones I would recommend.
Hoang Huy Music One of the first stops should always be Hoang Huy Music. They have a wide range of different musical instruments on offer as well as some great selections of sheet music and accessories. You can find then on 46 Hào Nam, Chợ Dừa, Đống Đa, Hà Nội.
GuitarPlus If you are looking for a shop that specialises in guitar sales then your best option would be GuitarPlus Hanoi. This is a great store that specialises in a wide range of acoustic and electric guitars. The staff are always helpful. You can find then on 14b Hào Nam, Chợ Dừa, Đống Đa, Hà Nội.
TYGY Lastly I would recommend TYGY Music Store which always has some great deals on a wide range of different instruments.
Whether you are a complete beginner or more advanced player looking to play as a hobby, learn your favourite songs, pass an audition or even perform professionally on stage, I am confident I can assist you on your guitar playing journey.
[email protected]Lessons cost £25 for an hour of one-to-one tuition.
Lessons take place at my dedicated teaching studio in Hanoi. This contains all the resources we need for great guitar lessons in a comfortable and relaxing environment.
I specialise in teaching students of 13+.
I recommend all my students take lessons weekly for maximum progess in a shorter space of time, however I will acommodate fortnightly lessons.
At Guitar Lessons Hanoi I operate a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel a lesson that is fine, but please let me know 48 hours in advance. If a lesson is cancelled within 48 hours of the start date it will be charged at £10 with no exceptions.
