About

Hello! I am someone who has loved music all their life and I want to share that by teaching others. I've had music teachers for most of my life so I know what it feels like to have a good (or a bad) guitar teacher. Originating from a classical background, I began learning contemporary music such as classic rock, blues, jazz and metal and achieved Grade 8 with Rockschool. I am currently teaching several students through the rockschool grades and it's always a pleasure to see them achieve in exams.

Alongside my guitar grades I also learnt Music Theory up to Grade 5. I went on to gained a 2:1 in Music Technology at Teesside University which increased my understanding of music and sound greatly, and I am a qualified teacher with a PGCE degree and a Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills certificate. I have taught Music in a Secondary school and have knowledge of requirements for GCSE and beyond.

Throughout my life I have played in cover bands, written songs and produced music for all sorts of styles. Currently I am working on some instrumental projects and play acoustic guitar live regularly. Beyond music I am married, a Father of a two year old who will soon become an older brother, and I'm a bit fan of coffee!

I would love to spend time with you to continue learning the art of the guitar.
