I welcome both beginner and advanced guitarists in a wide range of styles. I will make a lesson plan that suits your ability level.
I'm an experienced guitarist and have performed in covers and original bands and have recorded my own material.
I'm currently in the process of completing the RSL Rockschool grades myself and perform to a grade 6 level and I've also completed other online guitar courses including Fender Play.
I currently play as lead guitarist and singer with established and a well-respected covers band. I co-founded an alt-country band 'The Black Widows' that played all over the UK and made two albums.
I offer lessons both in-person and online and I'm happy to travel. I have a teaching space at my home which is in Newcastle-under-Lyme close to Stoke-on-Trent and I have all of the equipment necessary.
I realise that every student has their own aspirations and goals. If you're aiming to take a more academic route and learn grades or perhaps you wish to take a more laid back approach and simply want to develop your skills and make music – I will adapt my lessons to your needs! I can accommodate all ages and abilities.
We will always learn in a style and way that you want you. I like all of my students to let me know the styles and genres that they enjoy.
Stoke has a few good options when it comes to music shops. Here are a few I would recommend.
The Rhythm House, is the best option for those looking for an all round music shop that has a good range of guitars. You can find them at 21-23 Hope St, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 5BT.
A Major Music, is another store that stocks a small range of guitars and even ukuleles. You can also find a lot of sheet music here. The store is located at Trentham Shopping Village, Trentham ST4 8AX.
Music Mania, is a great option if you're looking for a locally owned music shop. They don't stock instruments but sell a wide range of music and CD's if you're looking for inspiration then this is the best place to go. You can find them at 3-6, Piccadilly Arcade, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 1DL.
I'm an experienced guitarist with teaching experience and my excellent value lessons offer the perfect place to start for beginners and improvers. If you have any questions about my lessons, feel free to send me an email at any time.
[email protected]My lessons are charged at £16 per 1/2 hour and £25 per 3/4 hour.
I take most of my lessons from my home studio in Stoke, ST5 1DS area.
I have experience teaching both children and adults but currently only offer lessons for students ages 10 and above. I hold a valid enhanced DBS check.
I recommend taking weekly lessons to make sure you get the most out of your lessons.
Lessons cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will still be charged full price.
