About Andy Bates

Hi budding musicians,

I am a teacher of guitar and drums in Tavistock (in the UK) and I love helping my students to find their way on their instruments. I teach at three of my local schools (Tavistock College, Tavistock Primary and Whitchurch Primary) and also offer lessons at my home. I like to use the RSL syllabus, enhanced with my own lesson material and try to accommodate all preferences and genres. You can learn what you want to learn and I will guide you with what you need to get where you want to go. I aim to see progress for all, but you get to move at your speed and in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

I look forward to hearing from you!
