About
| About | Hi, I’m Billy, a guitarist from South East London who’s been performing live since I was eighteen. I was trained at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance and have over five years of private teaching experience. Having begun as a self-taught musician, I believe it is fundamental for students to first find their passion, as this will provide the necessary motivation to advance. Whether you’ve just got your first guitar, or you wish to build upon your existing skills and advance your playing – I will make sure to tailor my lessons to you. With more than seventeen years of playing, over five years experience teaching privately, and two and half years spent in primary schools, I am well versed in teaching both young and old, new and advanced students. As a versatile musician, I am accomplished in many genres and playing styles, including rock, blues, jazz, metal, funk, disco, country, pop, soul, punk and many more. Having helped students learn their first song, while also helping others improve their improvisation and soloing skills, I am confident and happy to teach students of all ages and abilities. As a songwriter and performer in my own band, I have performed across the country for many years, showcasing my own compositions. I also have experience working with singer songwriters, function bands and session work. I have six years of musical education, having studied at Access To Music in Stratford, before studying music at degree level at The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in Kilburn, where I achieved First Class |

| Cancelation & Rescheduling Policy | I operate a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel a lesson within 24 hours of the agreed lesson time, I will have to charge the full price for the missed lesson. If you provide more than 24 hours’ for your cancellation, then no payment is required. However, if cancellation with sufficient notice is occurring more frequently than expected, I reserve the right to offer the agreed lesson slot to a student who can provide more regular commitment. This will be discussed if the number of cancellations is approaching what would be considered unacceptable. For reference, an acceptable number of cancellations with 24+ hours notice would be up to 17 times per calendar year (i.e. ⅓ of the year’s lessons)

| My Musical Inspirations | My musical background is very much rooted in metal and rock, growing up playing Iron Maiden and Metallica covers, but I also have a strong love of pop music. Anything between Slipknot and Michael Jackson basically! I have been in several bands, and am currently the primary songwriter for the hardcore punk band Chaos Reigns. Having studied music at an academic level extensively, my taste and playing abilities ranges far beyond the music I regularly listen to, whether that’s blues, jazz, disco or bossa nova! |
