My goal is to make learning fun, approachable, and tailored to your unique needs, no matter your skill level.

I cover everything from electric guitar to acoustic, and even help students explore other instruments like bass, ukulele, piano, and drums!

For students with busy schedules, I aim to be flexible. Whether you're used to in-person or virtual learning, the door to your musical dreams is swung open from the get-go. As with all cool teachers, I'm passionate about helping students of all ages chase their love of music. If you've been dreaming of playing instruments, writing your own songs, or simply learning for the fun of it, I’d love to be part of your guitar journey. Let's make it happen together!
Apply Music Theory to Your Playing
When I teach the guitar, I always emphasise the importance of music theory. It’s not just about knowing where to put your fingers or memorising chords — music theory is what helps everything truly click. It’s like having a roadmap that guides you through the endless possibilities of music. Whether you're just starting beginner classes or refining your skills on the bass, ukulele, or even drums, understanding the structure behind music will bring your playing to life.
How Music Theory Helps You Achieve Your Goals
Learning music theory allows you to explore songwriting with confidence or even experiment with different instruments like the piano and bass. It’s an essential tool for breaking through creative blocks, helping you chase those moments of discovery that make music so rewarding. Students often tell me how theory opens up their playing, helping them improvise better, write original songs, or even just recognise patterns that make practice more productive.
Electric Guitar Vs Acoustic Guitar
When students ask me about the difference between acoustic and electric guitars, I always say it depends on what you want to achieve and how you want to express yourself. Acoustic guitars have a natural, warm tone that's perfect for genres like folk, classical, or even pop. They’re versatile and don’t require any extra equipment, making them a fantastic choice for beginners starting their guitar lessons. Playing an acoustic guitar is as much about feeling the vibrations of the strings as it is about hearing the music you create. You’ll truly experience the connection between your hands and the sound.
On the other hand, electric guitars bring a whole new world of possibilities. They’re designed to be amplified, which means you can experiment with different tones and effects — from clean, melodic sounds to gritty, distorted rock riffs. Many students who love dynamic and high-energy styles, like rock or metal, lean toward electric guitars. This type of guitar allows for creative freedom as you tweak dials and pedals to craft your unique sound.
Choosing the Right Guitar for You
Whether you're drawn to the raw, unplugged vibe of an acoustic guitar or the electrifying energy of an electric one, there’s no wrong choice. My goal as a music teacher, whether I’m helping pupils with guitar, piano, or even drums, is to guide them toward what excites them most. If you’re unsure which type of guitar suits you.
The best part is that both acoustic and electric guitars teach the same core techniques, so your skills will be adaptable. Helping students chase their passion for music starts with exploration, and I’m here to support you every step of the way!

Learning guitar should be as fulfilling as it is enjoyable, and I'm here to make that a reality for you. My mission is to guide and inspire you as you work toward your personal goals, no matter where you’re starting from. With a personalised approach and a focus on music that excites you, we’ll unlock your potential and make guitar playing a lifelong passion.
