About Andrew Sheldon

I’ve been playing the guitar since the age of 12 doing my first gigs at 14. I have a BMus which is a degree in Popular Music Performance from The Guitar Institute in London.

Also, I am a fully trained secondary music teacher holding a PGCE and I also have years of Live Playing and Private Tuition experience.

Currently, I teach privately and also teach in schools around the North East of England. Ideally, for me, it is easy if you come to my studio for a lesson as all resources can be easily accessed. However, if a home visit is required this can also be arranged.

I offer students examinations that are optional. Currently, I am using Rockschool and Trinity mainly however any board can be used.

All age ranges and levels taught.

I believe a guitar lesson should be a fun place to learn and also a supportive learning environment. If you want to have a go at playing the guitar give me a try and I will do my very best to get you playing and enjoying it at the same time.
