Guitar lessons in Welwyn Garden City

I’m an enthusiastic and well-established guitar tutor with over ten years of experience. I have taught people from the ages of 5 to 75 and am available to any student, although I mostly teach young beginners. I have taught in three different established music schools as well as having many private students over the years. This has allowed me to really hone my abilities as a tutor and develop the early stages of learning guitar into a streamlined but enjoyable process. I know that results are important in order to keep a student engaged and to provide value for money so I like to get my students up and running straight away. I take a practical approach to teach guitar and encourage students to advance by learning songs they are familiar with and explaining the musical ideas behind them rather than weighing them down early on with theory and repetitive playing. This is a method that works particularly well with children in my experience – I believe it to be the right balance of fun and education. I can teach acoustic, electric and bass guitar from beginner to intermediate ability and I take great pleasure in doing so. Being a multi-instrumentalist, I’m also happy to teach keyboard/piano and ukulele at the beginner level. As a career musician, I compose music and play in a band alongside my tutoring. I’ve written music that has appeared on all the major UK TV channels and I play about 75 gigs a year ranging from weddings to professional corporate functions. I’ve also written educational material for a degree course on composition and arrangement. I’d like to think that the fact that I live and breathe music in this way gives me certain credibility as a guitar tutor and is a reflection of my enthusiasm for the instrument.

The Number Seven Music Academy brings together years of teaching and real-world experience of carefully chosen musicians to create a new and exciting way for children to learn contemporary music skills. Each of us is passionate about inspiring a new generation of musicians. We aim to motivate our students to explore their potential… as future performers, writers, session artists or, ultimately, just for the confidence and fun that comes from developing a skill that they can enjoy for the rest of their lives. We believe children learn best when high quality teaching is combined with the regular opportunity to play together in a band and to perform live in front of an audience. Our school gigs give you and their friends a regular chance to come and watch them play and to appreciate what they have achieved. A rounded (and employable!) musician can play in any genre and therefore we draw upon a wide variety of styles throughout our courses, introducing influential artists throughout the decades to help our students to understand the ancestry behind what they are listening to today and what they might create in the future. Between us, we have many years of teaching experience giving us a wealth of knowledge about how children learn… Good habits and accurate technique builds a much better platform for success than learning fast and muddling through, so we teach extensively around the Rockschool syllabus, focusing on demonstration followed by fun and varied exercises during which our tutors give tailored guidance to each and every student.
