I am CRB checked (certificate available upon request) and can provide guitar tuition for children and adults from pre-grade upwards. My teaching ideology is to create and adapt a unique approach for each of my students, no matter what their level of ability.

I can cater for various styles of guitar music including electric acoustic and nylon guitar lessons. I currently cater for the following: Classical, Rock, Pop, Reggae, Flamenco, Latin, Blues, and Folk. For beginners I usually recommend grounding in classical guitar - ironically this ultimately enables more rapid progression in the medium to long term.

Guitar tuition to many is about "Painting by Numbers" and there are many teachers out there. I believe that the key to learning is teaching what the student wishes to learn and in the correct way. Enjoyment is invariably the forerunner to success.
