My Mission

Enjoy Learning

My lessons are built around the genres and styles that you enjoy. I will make sure we learn in a direction that you enjoy. I do this by making sure we learn familiar music a long with the theory that is essential to learn any instrument. I believe that Ukulele can be a great introduction to music and is especially great for young children to learn. My lessons are always fun and enjoyable and are open to both kids and adults.

Ukulele is a fun instrument and I like to keep it that way. We will learn a wide range of songs and theory to make you a well rounded player. Ukulele can give you a great start with music and from there you can stick with ukulele or move onto another instrument. Music has been my passion for as long as I can remember and it's always a pleasure to meet and teach like minded individuals who also want to expand their knowledge of music.

My Lessons

All Genres

I teach a wide range of genres including Rock, Pop, Funk, Jazz, Soul, Classical, Sight Reading & many more. I will always make sure we pick the genres that you're interested in for our lessons and we focus on the aspects of playing that you feel you need to improve. My lessons are very student focussed and are always built around you so if you have anything to share with me, make sure to let me know before we start learning together.

I have experience teaching students of all ages and welcome those who are aged 7 and above to take my lessons. I've taught both young learners and adults in the past and will always make sure that we learn at a pace that suits both your age and skill level. I also invite more experienced players to take my lessons, for example, if you want to improve your technique, understanding or kick some bad habits or just need some guidance, feel free to send me a message.

My Experience as a Teacher

I’ve been playing the guitar from the age of 13 and was hooked straight away. Never did I think that it would open so many doors and lead to such a varied career; not only has it allowed me to teach others at varying levels and ages (primary schools through to university) it has also given me the opportunity to tour the world on various shows.

I'm currently a lecturer for ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music), Teaching Guitar and Music Theory.

I've been luck enough to gain a wide range of performance experience inlcuding Playing the guitar on Saturday Night Fever, touring Japan, Performing for the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company), playing on Romeo and Juliet, Recording for the BBC, Playing the guitar for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO), Playing on the Stand By Me Tour for the Drifters, Playing at Sirmione Jazz festival in Italy, Writing a jingle for Nero Cafe & so much more.
