I am amazed at the way in which Stephen teaches children to play the guitar. He is a very good teacher and allowing them to understand properly the lesson, he is highly recommended.

I have waited a long time to learn the guitar. I was bought a lovely one about 15 years ago and tried a lesson with someone. It didn't go well and I gave up after that lesson. 15 years on I was lucky to find Stephen. I am older than most students I dare say and probably a lot slower but Stephen is so patient and pushes you just the right amount, he knows what you are capable of and I have enjoyed every lesson! Thank you! More...

I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone considering guitar lessons for their children or themselves! More...

I had messed around with the guitar for a number of years but had never gotten any good or learned any theory. I finally decided to do something about it and so I searched the web for a local tutor. I needed somewhere I could go to, rather than someone coming to me as I live in a flat. I found Steve, saw that he provided tuition at his house so I emailed him. He got back to me very quickly, which is a positive start. Steve is very friendly and patient and his studio provides a relaxing lesson environment. I get quite nervous about playing in front of people, but it has taken only a few weeks for me feel nearly completely comfortable playing with Steve. I have a lesson every 2 weeks which suits me given my work and home life commitments. This ensures I have a enough time to practice the piece I am working on. I would highly recommend Steve if you are thinking about having guitar lessons. More...

I have been working with Steve for over two years now and he has proved to be a first class tutor. It's an ongoing pleasure being helped by someone who not only loves his work but is a natural teacher who brings the instrument alive. As a retired teacher myself, I can't recommend Steve highly enough. More...

I've tried for years to teach myself to play guitar. Since learning with Stephen I've become so much more confident in my abilities and I learn a whole bunch each and every week. The taster lesson alone taught me a great deal and showed me I could play after all. Now I'm taking weekly lesson and improving all the time. He's even been supportive of my learning disabilities and shapes my lessons around my needs. - Dom More...

As a teacher myself, I can vouch the way in which Steve coaches my children to play the guitar. Steve’s a natural at developing confidence and allowing them to understand that making mistakes is part of the learning process. He looks for opportunities to explore bits of theory to help consolidate their understanding and is full of praise for their efforts. More...

At the age of 50 and after a 33 year break from what was only very basic guitar playing back then, I decided I wanted to learn to play properly. I asked for recommendations for a good tutor in a local music shop and was given Steve's business card. That was nearly two years ago, and despite me not always having time to practice as much as I would like I am delighted at the progress I am making under Steve's expert guidance. I could not ask for a better tutor; I have found him very easy to get along with, always cheerful and very patient with a calming influence. I would be more than happy to recommend Steve to anyone.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve as a guitar teacher. He has been teaching my son for just over a year and has shown great professionalism and patience throughout. He has also been flexible when asked regarding changing times and days of lessons and my son has always been happy to attend his lessons. Definitely deserving of 5 stars - thank you Steve! More...
