About

Hello, my name is Marcela and I am a patient and enthusiastic guitar (acoustic/electric) and ukulele tutor. I have taught guitar for three years, which includes individuals and small groups, both children and adults.

We work on songs/pieces that you feel passionate about. Music theory, technique, scales, etc. happen as we work on THE SONGS. I believe that learning should be fun and making mistakes is a part of all learning. The lessons can be very flexible, depending on your needs.

I provide all the materials for the lessons but we can use a handbook if you prefer. For online lessons, we can use an interactive platform to make the lesson time fun and efficient.

You may want to learn guitar for enjoyment but if you are more technique and grades driven, please note that I’m most familiar with RGT exams (under London College of Music).

Now, a few songs that are frequently requested by my students: Thunder by Imagine Dragons, Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen, Hello by Adele, Yellow Submarine by Beatles, Wonderwall by Oasis.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

I am 47 years old and decided to have a couple of lessons to see how I got on. Marcela made me fall in love with guitar. She is so patient, explained everything well, made me feel comfortable even when I was terrible. She doesn’t waste time in getting the lesson started which made you get your full 45mins of learning. She is such a lovely person and would be great teaching anyone. I really enjoyed all my lessons and am hoping to play rhythm guitar in my band which I sing up front.

Marcela is not only a talented musician, she is also a very patient and imaginative teacher. I can thoroughly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn guitar or ukulele.
