Hello, My name is Cristina. I am Portuguese, living in London since 2020, also with other living experiences in London, especially as a Music and Instrument Teacher at the Students. I can teach speaking in English or Portuguese or French. If the Students prefer, I can also rent a Music room for the Lessons, with a Piano. The Students chose the Programs they wish to follow. It can be with preparation for ABRSM or TRINITY Exams, in Instrument and Music Theory, etc. Or a free Program that I will adapt related to each Student. If wished, I also prepare the Students for Concerts for the end of each School Term: Christmas, Easter and end of School Year, for the Students to perform with me for their families and friends. I also teach and support on Composition / Music Theory. If wished, I can also get books or instruments and other Music Material for the Students with my ISM discount, as a member of the Independent Society of Musicians. With public liability Certificate of Insurance. And an updated DBS from April 2026. I will be looking forward to working with you. My best wishes. Cristina Martins.
I have been a passionate musician for 15 years, specialising in guitar. I have been composing music and performing professionally for 7 years, have experience teaching one to one guitar lessons and have led music workshops in primary and secondary schools. I am currently in Year 2 studying at Trinity Laban Conservatoire. I teach beginners and intermediate students, guiding and challenging them towards their musical goals. Lessons are designed in a bespoke way to incorporate theory and practice, taking student preferences into account to ensure lessons are relevant, fun and exciting.
In my online guitar lessons I teach classical guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and 12-string guitar. My guitar lessons cover chord, scale and arpeggio vocabulary, rhythm & lead playing, improvisation, technique, relevant music theory and much more. I teach most styles of music including rock, pop, blues, jazz, folk and a little bit of metal and flamenco. I have a degree in classical music and have been giving guitar lessons for over 25 years. In my online ukulele lessons, I teach soprano, concert and tenor ukulele and most styles of music. I am a classically trained guitarist, and apply that knowledge to the ukulele. I enjoy teaching classical music on the ukulele as well as rock, pop and blues etc. In my online music theory lessons, I teach music reading, analysis, harmony, rhythm, scale/chord/arpeggio/key relationships, songwriting and much more. I also cover relevant music theory in my ukulele and guitar lessons. I am based in Kennington, London, and I teach online. My online lessons are delivered via Zoom. I have a state of the art teaching setup: high definition video, broadcast quality microphone and studio quality guitar processing. This is all professionally mixed so that you get the best experience possible during your online lesson. My Zoom lessons are available to pupils anywhere in the world – I have many international pupils. Please contact me or visit my website to see my current fees and teaching hours.

I am a professional secondary school music teacher offering 1-on-1 Rock School and Trinity Rock and Pop guitar lessons for pupils of all ages. Lessons are typically 30 mins to 1 hour in length. These can be delivered in person or online, whatever suits you. We review the curriculum together and tailor lessons to suit your learning style. We set up realistic targets and you will be supported every step of the way to help take your guitar playing to the next level. A stereotypical lesson would consist of: 1) Warm up exercises and technical skills 2) A play through of material learnt in the previous lesson/home practice, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. 3) Addressing these areas and polishing your technique. 4) Pushing forward and learning new content. 5) Setting targets to be completed for the next lesson in your own home practice. My skills and expertise include playing the electric guitar, acoustic guitars, bass guitar and piano. I have an eclectic musical taste but my main influences derive from rock and metal music. I am based in the Elephant and Castle area located very close to train, underground and bus stops for easy access for students. I am willing to travel to the students property but this needs to be discussed prior to agreeing lessons. Online lessons available also. You will find that I am a very supportive teacher and I am able to get the best out of my students by scaffolding their learning to suit their individual needs so that they can achieve the highest results possible. I look forward to working with you! Qualifications: PGCE Secondary Music, BAjointHons Music & Sonic Arts
The point of learning an instrument, it seems to me, is to be free to do what you like, express what you wish and travel as far in fulfilling that quest as you can. Obviously there are some hurdles in the way but if you benefit from a proper explanation of some the more abstruse aspects of musicianship and how they might assist you in your quest you're likely to be a lot happier about it. This I try to do. Adult learners can have some concerns about their abilities and may suffer a degree of discomfort at being a novice in a field they have little knowledge of that younger types are untroubled by. Don't let this stop you. Difficulties will be overcome in no time and once you realise that music is not some arcane field that only the mysteriously gifted can have access to you'll have a lot of fun.

Hi, I’m Leo, an instrumental teacher and professional musician based in South London. I’m really excited to help you experience the infinite joy of making music! Learning with me, you will find that training yourself to play an instrument is simpler than you thought possible. Not only will I give you the technical and musical knowledge required to become a great musician, I will also show you how to build healthy and productive practice and performance habits so that you can enjoy improving and playing consistently on your instrument of choice. Lessons with me are entirely student-centric, taking into account your current skill level, goals, musical interests, and learning style. I understand that there can be many mental and physical barriers to learning music, and over my many years of experience as a teacher, I have always found a way around them for my students. I have a very deep understanding of technique and theory, having spent half my life practicing guitar. I have spent years researching how to play guitar and bass using the least possible physical effort, employing musculature and gravity efficiently. I can show you how good tone is produced and how to build coordination. I am familiar with a huge range of music and can show you songs and pieces to learn that are not only suited to your interests and skill level, but will also give you foundational skills that will make the next songs you learn easier. Above all, if there’s any music you want to learn, I will find a way to get you playing it as soon as possible. For those students interested in doing grades, I am experienced with getting students prepared for exams, and am familiar with the repertoire in most of the grade books including Trinity Classical and Rock/Pop, ABRSM Classical and Plectrum, as well as Rockschool and RGT grades.

Guitar lessons: what to expect
Guitar lessons near you
The best guitar lessons near you aren’t just about distance — they’re about a teacher who helps you progress with clarity. Search by location to find in-person guitar lessons, or choose online lessons to access specialist teachers for acoustic, electric, fingerstyle, rock, or grades.
Who guitar lessons are for
Guitar lessons work for complete beginners, intermediate players, and advanced students. Lessons can be tailored for children, teenagers, or adults returning to guitar — with a focus on the styles and songs you actually want to play.
What you’ll learn in guitar lessons
Most students work on chord fluency, rhythm, strumming feel, scales, finger placement, and repertoire. A good teacher will also structure your practice so you build confidence and technique without getting stuck.
Online vs in-person guitar lessons
Online guitar lessons can be highly effective, especially for busy schedules and specialist tuition. In-person lessons can feel more hands-on and are great if you prefer local support and face-to-face feedback.
A simple learning path for guitar
A good teacher will tailor lessons to your goals — but here’s what progress often looks like.
Learn posture, tuning, chord changes, strumming patterns, and how to practise without building bad habits.
Build a steady sense of timing, expand chord vocabulary (including barre chords), and play full songs with confidence.
Develop picking, fingerstyle, lead basics, improvisation foundations, or exam preparation — depending on your goals.
Getting started: what you need
Keep it simple at first — your teacher can help you choose the right setup.
- Acoustic vs electric: your teacher can recommend what fits your music taste and comfort.
- A tuner + a few picks is enough to start — then add a capo or strap as you progress.
- A simple practice routine beats long sessions: aim for consistency, not intensity.
Styles & goals your teacher can support
Choose a direction — lessons can be tailored around what you actually want to play.
Chord progressions, strumming feel, accompaniment patterns, and building a set of songs.
Riffs, power chords, pentatonic shapes, bends, vibrato, and solo phrasing.
Right-hand patterns, independence, tone control, and arranging songs for solo guitar.
Technique, repertoire, sight-reading or musicianship skills, and a clear practice plan.
