Music has been a significant part of my life for as long as I can remember, starting in Cagliari, Italy, where I was born and raised. During my formative years, I studied classical guitar and received private lessons in jazz guitar, which fueled my passion for modern styles. The music of Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Led Zeppelin, and Pat Metheny opened a window to the fascinating worlds of rock, jazz, and blues. Today, as a freelance session guitarist and guitar tutor, I have extensive experience in live performance, studio recording, session playing, and songwriting. I enjoy the versatility and creativity that comes with working across a wide range of genres. As a guitar teacher, I cater to beginners as well as intermediate and advanced students. My lessons blend practice and theory, ensuring that students not only learn how to play chords or songs but also understand how chords and scales work together. I have experience teaching both children and adults, and I hold an enhanced DBS check. I can also assist students who are preparing for grade examinations. I strive to make my lessons fun and interactive, always providing customised study materials tailored to each student’s needs. Whether a student has just picked up the guitar, is at a more advanced level, or needs inspiration to develop their skills, I love teaching and find my greatest reward in seeing students achieve their goals. I offer discounts for bookings of five or more classes. There is an additional fee of £5 to £10 for lessons conducted at your home, depending on the distance I need to travel. I also teach the ukulele to beginners and intermediate players, and I provide transcriptions for acoustic and electric guitar, complete with tabs, standard music notation, and lyrics synchronised with the score. Please feel free to get in touch for a quote, and I can also provide examples of previous transcriptions.

The point of learning an instrument, it seems to me, is to be free to do what you like, express what you wish and travel as far in fulfilling that quest as you can. Obviously there are some hurdles in the way but if you benefit from a proper explanation of some the more abstruse aspects of musicianship and how they might assist you in your quest you're likely to be a lot happier about it. This I try to do. Adult learners can have some concerns about their abilities and may suffer a degree of discomfort at being a novice in a field they have little knowledge of that younger types are untroubled by. Don't let this stop you. Difficulties will be overcome in no time and once you realise that music is not some arcane field that only the mysteriously gifted can have access to you'll have a lot of fun. Qualifications: BA (hons) Music Performance Guitar, LCM Theory of Music Grade 8, ABRSM Guitar Grade 8
