Feel free to get in touch for more information on my guitar lessons.
Over the years I have worked with students from all different walks of life. Since then I have studied, taught and performed in a wide range of style and genres. I feel confident playing and teaching in many styles such as Pop, Rock, Folk and Blues.
My lesson plans are tailored to each individual students as I understand we all like different music and have different goals with our instruments. Together we can begin learning your most favorite pieces that you've always dreamed of playing, ensuring not only technical progress but a huge reward at the end by being able to play the songs that you love.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
No matter what current playing ability you have; whether you are looking to pick up a guitar for the first time or you are just looking to move up to that next level, my lessons can cater and provides for students of any ability or skill level.
How to Tune The Guitar, How to play simple melodies, How to play chords
I have always loved the guitar and have had a passion for it ever since I was young. I received lessons myself at a young age which allowed me to grow and develop very quickly. I used to watch famous artists and used to dream of being good enough to play them. This was a huge driving force behind my own progression as a guitar player.
I understand that learning the guitar, and really any other instrument, can sometimes be a difficult and frustrating process. Therefore it's my job to help motivate and guide you through the rough patches so we can come out the other side as a better player. Always remember, Practice Practice Practice!.
I enjoy teaching and working with students of all ages. I accept that Children will learn differently to Adults and as such I will always tailor and structure my lesson plans to meet the needs of that individual student. Lessons provided offer an insight in to both the Practicial and Theoretical sides of music.
Complex Chords, Full Songs, Solos, Composition and Harmony
Motivating people to stay focused and to practice on the guitar can be a very difficult task, but with the right guidance and appropriate goal setting, together I feel confident we can get you to be the guitar player you've always wanted to be. Maintaining regular practice in between guitar lessons is crucial for allowing yourself to develop and grow as a musician.
For those more advanced students, my lessons will deeply explore a wide range of musical topics covering both practical and theoretical elements such as Scales, Composition, Harmony etc. I believe having an understanding of the behind the scenes of music is just as important as being able to play your instrument technically well.
I have played and performed Gigs in and around Scarborough for around the last 25 years or so. This means I have many years experience as an active musician within the local scene. I have also graduted with a BA Hons degree in Music. These experiences and qualifications combined have allowed to provide high quality guitar lessons for a wide range of students.
Whether its help learning a song or advice on buying your first guitar, I'm always happy to help in anyway I can.
