About

About

I have been teaching for over 3 years around Yorkshire and Leicestershire and now offer online music lessons. I moved to full time teaching last November and currently teach around 30 students a week.

During 2020-21 I taught guitar privately and around schools in around Leicestershire. The age of my students ranges from 6-78.

I have taught groups of children and have a lot of experience in teaching students with disabilities.

I believe in teaching each student in a way that is individual to them. Learning songs they want to learn and improve the areas they want to improve. I enjoy building up friendly comfortable relationships with students, making lessons a safe space to try new techniques, genres whilst improving their skills on guitar.

No matter what age or ability anyone can learn to play music. I have seen a vast improvement in people mental health, well being, confidence and dexterity.
