My Mission

Lessons Tailored To You

I’ve been playing the guitar since the age of 12 doing my first gigs at 14. I have a BMus which is a degree in Popular Music Performance from The Guitar Institute in London. Also, I am a fully trained secondary music teacher holding a PGCE and I also have years of Live Playing and Private Tuition experience. Currently, I teach privately and also teach in schools around the North East of England. Ideally, for me, it is easy if you come to my studio for a lesson as all resources can be easily accessed.

My Approach to Teaching Guitar for Lifelong Enjoyment

Individualised Learning Plans

At the core of my guitar lessons in Newcastle upon Tyne is a commitment to providing high-quality tuition that suits the individual needs of each student. Whether you're interested in acoustic, electric, or bass guitar, I tailor every lesson to fit your unique learning style, goals, and musical preferences. It's about making each session not just educational but also exciting.

Comprehensive Music Education

My approach to teaching extends beyond merely learning to play songs. You'll receive a well-rounded education that includes music theory, technique, and ear training. Understanding music theory is crucial for any guitarist; whether you're into blues, rock, jazz, pop, or folk, these foundational skills will help you play with confidence and creativity.

Diverse Genres and Styles

From strumming your first chords on an acoustic guitar to mastering electric guitar solos, I've got you covered. My guitar lessons span a wide range of genres and styles to keep your learning experience diverse and engaging. As a professional guitar tutor in Newcastle upon Tyne, I can guide you through the specific techniques and nuances of each style, helping you become a versatile guitarist and play your favourite songs.

My lessons are designed to be fun and rewarding, ensuring you stay engaged each step of the way.

The Joy and Benefits of Playing Guitar

Enhancing Cognitive Abilities

Engaging in guitar lessons can significantly boost your cognitive functions. As you learn music theory and practice different techniques on either acoustic or electric guitar, your brain continually processes and interprets complex patterns. This not only sharpens your memory and concentration but also enhances your problem-solving skills.

Emotional and Mental Wellbeing

Playing the guitar is a fantastic outlet for emotional expression and mental relaxation. Whether strumming an acoustic guitar on a quiet evening or mastering an electric guitar solo, the act of making music can be deeply therapeutic. It provides a healthy way to channel stress and emotions, contributing to overall mental health. In Guitar Lessons Newcastle, I offer a supportive environment where students of all abilities can explore this emotional and mental wellness through music.

Social Connection and Community

Joining group lessons or attending sessions with other students creates a sense of community. Guitar tutors in Newcastle upon Tyne including myself encourage interactions among students, leading to friendships and collaborations. For those interested in online lessons, there are opportunities to connect with a broader community, enhancing your social network through a shared love of playing guitar.

Building Confidence and Performance Skills

Taking guitar lessons, whether in person or online, helps build self-confidence and performance skills. Preparing for music grades or public performances provides structured goals and milestones to work towards. As you progress through your guitar lesson, you'll notice improvements in your performance and public presentation skills. This gained confidence is a profound benefit that extends beyond music into other areas of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best age to start guitar lessons is around 6 to 10 years old. However, it's never too late to learn; adults can also benefit greatly from starting guitar lessons.

A guitar lesson in Newcastle typically costs between £20 to £40 per hour. Prices vary based on the instructor's experience, location, and lesson duration.

Like in learning other instruments such as ukulele or piano, it is recommended to take guitar lessons at least once a week, but you are welcome to increase the amount and duration of your guitar lessons as it suits you.

It is recommended having your own guitar is essential for practice between lessons. Some instructors may provide a guitar for the lesson itself, but personal practice is crucial. In Newcastle, for example, you can purchase a guitar in JG Windows at any budget.

Look for a guitar instructor with experience, positive reviews, and a teaching style that matches your learning preferences. Compatibility and communication are key to a successful learning experience.
