New school year new skills

As we approach the new school year, I have some availability for new students who are interested in one on one guitar lessons.

I teach students for their exams (using the modern rock school syllabus) and have a 100% pass rate so far this year.

If you have a child interested in learning the guitar, please feel free to drop me a message or give me a call, but please be aware that I have limited places available, especially in the evenings.

100% exam success in 2025

Well done to all my students who passed their Rock School exams in 2025.

As well as teaching younger students for their exams, I also teach all ages for fun.

Strum away the winter blues!

Now winter and the long nights are well and truly here, there has never been a better time to start learning the guitar. Once you have bought your guitar, it costs very little to practice – or nothing if you go for an acoustic!!

Increase your knowledge with some one to one personalised lessons which also make a great Christmas present.

Stay safe whilst learning the guitar

I think most of us have now come to the realisation that COVID is not going away anytime soon, and that we are all need to learn to live with it. It is important to not stop doing the things we want to do, whilst doing what we can to stay safe.

I am fully vaccinated and have had the booster jab. I am happy to do lessons wearing a mask if requested. I am also happy to teach if you have not been vaccinated, but would ask that you inform me of this so that we can both wear facemasks.

Don’t let COVID stop you learning a new skill – book guitar lessons today!

Why not try something new?

Now that we are getting back to some kind of normality after a difficult 18 months, learning the guitar is a great way to relax and have some time to yourself in the midst of a busy life – all beneficial to your mental health. Not only that, but it is a great confidence builder, especially for children.

I am double jabbed, practice social distancing and happy to wear a mask during lessons if required.

Dust down that guitar during this difficult time

Hi everyone – I hope you have all been keeping safe and well during this difficult period.

For those of you with a guitar gathering dust in the corner, especially if you are still having to work from home, why not turn a negative into a positive and start to have some lessons.

I have now restarted subject to social distancing guidelines. My 30 minute lessons are flexible and an ideal break and change in the day. Weather permitting I am happy to teach in the garden.

Please feel free to email or telephone me for more information.

New year, new challenge

While there are many on-line tools, such as YouTube, that offer advice and tips on how to play songs on the guitar, there is no substitute for a one to one lesson.

Learning the guitar is a very personal thing as everybody is different and learns at a different pace. Whilst a lot of on-line lessons can tell you the ‘right thing to do’, it is often what not to do and where you are going wrong that a teacher can help you with.

I tailor all my lessons to individual needs and the songs that you want to learn to play. Please see my website for further details or feel free to call me.

Leave the Xbox and grab a guitar!

There is no substitute for one on one guitar lessons and I offer a practical modern approach which is fun and a great way for children to gain other skills. It helps develop their coordination, concentration and overall confidence. I use the Rockschool syllabus which have great versions of modern songs and children get a real sense of pride and achievement when they pass the exams. The first book is the Debut one and I have never not had a student pass it first time and they get a really cool certificate!
