About Chris Hayes

Hello, my name is Chris and I’m a teaching professional based in Nottingham. I have years of experience and in my time I have taught one to one, in groups large and small and at schools and colleges. I teach all styles, ages and abilities. Each lesson is tailored to your needs.

If you would like to go down a guitar grade route I teach the Rockschool and RGT syllabus and have a 100% pass rate on my students’ exams. I cover all aspects of learning from technique, theory, composition, improvisation, sight reading and more.

Music, guitar and teaching are my passion and I always strive to make my lessons as enjoyable, interesting and tailored to individual needs as I can.

I can do home visits or you are welcome to come to my studio in Nottingham city centre. When I’m not teaching guitar I’m an active live musician I play in bands and get the privilege of travelling across the country playing for people.

Music Qualifications & Achievements:

  • RGT Guitar Grade 8 and Associate Diploma with the London College of Music
  • Playing to a few thousand people at gigs across the country, I still play live most weekends, it’s always an honour
  • All my students who take exams have passed, never a fail and I’m incredibly proud of that

Cancelation & Rescheduling Policy

If you need to reschedule it’d be really helpful to have at least 48 hours notice. I reserve the right to charge for any lesson missed by the student with less than 24 hours notice unless otherwise agreed with me. I will also make sure to give you notice if I have to rearrange or cancel a lesson.
