Piers is lovely and friendly. He is not pushy and helped me get started on my guitar journey!

I would highly recommend Piers, I have only been playing just over 6 months and thoroughly enjoying it(I'm even playing a few song). I have been going almost weekly and always learning something different!! More...

Learning with Piers has been absolutely fantastic. As a shy adult learner, he put me at ease right away, teaching at my speed and perfectly combining theory with the fun of playing. His knowledge, professionalism and teaching manner are all outstanding. Piers is great at giving the feedback needed to improve and his own technique is so advanced that you feel very confident in any corrections or alterations he makes. Piers came to our house for the first lesson, but I went to his home studio after this and was so glad I did – not only to see and play his own collection of guitars but it also creates a great environment for playing. Piers also used his talents to work on my guitar, greatly improving its sound. More...

I have really enjoyed learning from Piers over the last few months. I wanted to learn song composition and his knowledge is amazing - on top of being a fabulous guitarist and teacher. After just three lessons, I composed my first ’song’ and haven’t stopped since, getting more and more confident with adding complexity to new compositions after each lesson. More...

Has taught me so much, improved my technique and given me more self confidence and belief. Absolutely brilliant guy. I am 60+ and would highly recommend Piers for any age group. More...

Piers is a great guitar tutor, very patient and diligent and is keen for tutees to grasp fundamental concepts to aid their future learning. He also acknowledges your personal goals and interests and tailors lessons around these. He is also really flexible with regards to timings which is very helpful. Overall, highly recommend. More...

From lesson one I felt completely relaxed and comfortable with Piers. His manner with me when teaching is excellent. He always makes time to listen and has great patience when teaching. He structures lessons well and is flexible to change depending on how I progress. When I watch Piers play guitar, when demonstrating, it keeps me so inspired to learn more and more. I always look forward to my lessons. They are good fun, and I know Piers will make sure i keep on track after the lesson by sending lesson plans to assist my practicing . It's these little touches that make Piers my top choice! More...

Instead of starting to learn the guitar at 10 years old, I left it 50 years too late! I wanted a tutor who would have a very relaxed attitude, teach me to play simple stuff and adapt their teaching to an old guy with stubby fingers (and arthritis in them! ) Piers is that man… his approach is exactly what I wanted. He is an extremely patient tutor, only getting me to progress at a speed I feel comfortable with. Whenever I may get frustrated with a piece I am trying to learn, he will ease off, and get me to do something completely different for a while to ensure that I maintain my enjoyment of learning to play the guitar. Yet his teaching skills still have made me progress with my playing and have really started to instil an understanding of the guitar fretboard. His own playing skills are phenomenal, and although he keeps things simple for me personally, I have every faith in his ability to teach to a far higher level than I would hope to achieve! More...

Piers took the time to understand what my needs were and what direction I wanted to take with my playing. As a beginner I felt this is important as I don't want to rush into it, feel pressured and give up!
