I've had a Yamaha RBX 460 bass guitar for many many years and always promised myself that, one day, I'll learn to play it. ....I got a couple of books, checked out YouTube and online bass tuition sites and basically copied some lines by tab. I did a Google search for tutors locally and Ron's classes popped up. I chose one to one tuition cos I like to ask questions and also like the instant feedback. Three lessons in and what a difference already! Now my practice is focused on technique and identifying the notes on the fretboard and this adds a new dimension. Don't let my photo fool you, I may be chronologically in my late 60's but, inside I'm still a 19 year old klutz! Ron's patient and encouraging teaching style has given me new found confidence that I will, indeed, be able to rock the bass sooner than I'd thought possible. 👍 More...

If you aspire to playing guitar in a rock band, pop along to Ron’s for quality tuition. Practice what he teaches you and in time, your dreams may come true.

Ron has been teaching my eight year old son and myself for around six months and we are really enjoying his lessons and his style of tuition. He has a very pleasant manner and is very professional in his approach to teaching. Clearly a very experienced musician and tutor with a huge passion for playing guitar and bringing out the best in his students no matter their ability. Ron’s enthusiasm is infectious and we can highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to play or improve their current technique. More...

What do you love most about your job?
The "show me how you have got on" part at the beginning of each session. Hearing the improvement from the students when they play and show off their improvement is fantastic
What inspired you to start your own business?
My love of the Guitar, I wanted to help so many others experience the joy of playing an instrument. It is not about just learning for yourself, it is about being able to sit and get lost in your own music, playing in front of friends and family in a small gathering, or going out and playing to an audience and watching them dance, sing along with you.
Why should our clients choose you?
I don't just Teach Guitar, I do far more. The student learns what is required to play, learns how to practise and use this information. They are coached on how to look at their own playing and work out what is holding them back and eliminate this from their playing. They are mentored on how to develop into a fully accomplished musician. This knowledge is transferrable into other aspects of their life and supports them on becoming successful people outwith playing the guitar
