About

About

If you decide to learn guitar with Aidan, not only will you get a great teacher and a tailored learning path, but you also gain access to a library of video resources that you can use in between lessons. As an added bonus, Aidan offers 2-for-1 discounts for parent/child lessons.

Following your FREE first lesson, Aidan will create a custom learning path that covers the first 10 topics of your journey. These topics may take more than one lesson each to get through, but if you practice you will be surprised at how fast you improve!

Learning the guitar is all about learning songs, they are the driving factor behind any real progress. The first thing Aidan will do is talk about your goals and what you hope to achieve by learning guitar. It could be as simple as learning your favourite song to play at a wedding or just for fun, all the way through to attaining your guitar grades, to being the biggest rock star in the world. The most important thing is that you enjoy the experience we provide, so playing guitar doesn’t feel intimidating.

After 25 years of playing guitar and teaching in other sectors, Aidan decided to open my own guitar teaching school in Southampton. I’m your cliche tech-to-musician story. Having spent years working in entertainment logistics, audio visual services, and IT, Aidan ditched it all for music and built a professional studio here in Southampton.

Other Lesson Prices

The Songwriting & Recording experience starts at £30 per hour for songwriting/coaching and the recording/mixing/mastering side can range from £300 up to £1000 and beyond per track, depending on the complexity of the song.

For example, if you have one song, with 4 main instruments and some vocals, then that will be at the very lower end of cost. However, if you want a 60-track orchestral arrangement for a 10-minute song that has 30 time signature changes and 17 key changes, then that will obviously cost at the higher end.

Either way, with me you get a more affordable, fun, and enjoyable experience without being intimidated by professional studios and session players. All of which can get very expensive, very fast.

  • Qualifications: Verify the teacher’s qualifications and experience. Check if they have relevant music degrees, certifications, or professional experience in music education.
  • Professionalism: Consider whether a teacher holds a recent safeguarding certificate, public/general liability insurance and is a member of a professional music organizations or associations. These are important for ensuring a safe and professional learning environment.
