Good teacher, listens to questions and helps in areas I struggle with.

Casey is a great tutor, he has a vast knowledge of music theory and skill, any question he’ll always be able to give me an answer which starting from zero and having no musical experience prior to starting lessons is more than I could ask for, he’s very patient and will always try his best to make sure you get the most from his lessons

Our son is 10 and has been having lessons since late last year and has done so well so quickly . He enjoys the lessons and has improved week on week. Casey adapts to whatever works for Our son and his pace etc but keeps it fun too and gives him things to work on in between lessons. Would definitely recommend

I’ve had a go myself at playing bits here and there on the guitar but not with any technical skill or know how, but right from the get go Casey has helped me with so much! He taught me musical theory which has helped me play better and also make sense of what I’m playing. He breaks everything down as much as possible and leaves no stones unturned, he truly cares about you being the best you can be in skills and artistic expression and I can highly recommend him.

Have done a few lessons with Casey now, I had been playing guitar for a while, but started lessons because I wasn’t sure how to progress on guitar further. Since meeting Casey I have started to grasp music theory and my songwriting has become a lot more interesting because of it!

I was quite apprehensive about getting a guitar tutor due to nerves and low self confidence, however after my first lesson with Casey I left with a completely different perspective of the guitar and myself. He didn’t only teach me how to play guitar but he also taught me how to connect with my guitar which made playing for me a lot more personal and a lot more natural. Casey was very patient and taught me at my own pace, highly recommended.
