About Me

I am a member of the Registry of Guitar Tutors (London College of Music) and teach electric and acoustic guitar as well as music theory.

The most important thing to me is that you have fun whilst learning to play guitar and learn at a speed that suits you. My job is to provide you with all the skills you need to "learn to play what you want".

Playing Live is just so much Fun

 

At your first lesson I will assess your playing level and we will agree what you want to learn and achieve so the lessons can be structured to meet your needs, whether you want to just have fun playing music, write your own songs or learn more theory, the key is to make it fun.
