Alan is fantastic! My son loves learning guitar with him. Lessons framed around music he’s interested in, including bespoke arrangements beautifully put together by Alan. He helps build technique while keeping learning relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommended! More...

Brilliant. Currently teaching my 13 year old son. Lessons are built around your own choice in music so really helps students progress. Highly recommended.

After finding Alan’s beautiful arrangement of Andante Andante on YouTube I knew it was perfect for my cousin’s wedding. This was the song she had requested during her ceremony so I reached out to Alan about the possibility of getting the music to play it for her. Alan so generously wrote out the structure of the music for me and after much listening and practice it sounded perfect and she loved it. More...

My boy aged 9 has started lessons with Alan. from the outset, Alan was professional, organised & responsive with arranging sessions. He is a fabulous teacher, extremely patient & has a relaxed, organic style to suit my boys learning pace. Alan's set up in Penicuick is stunning. His rates are great too. I thoroughly recommend Alan to anyone thinking about starting with a tutor! More...

My son is really enjoying his guitar lessons with Alan. Alan allows him to learn through playing tracks which he's interested in which really motivates him. He says the 1 hour lesson flies by and "Alan's really good at explaining everything and really approachable". If our son decides he wants to do any formal exams then it's great that he can do that with Alan too. More...

Alan has been a fantastic guitar teacher, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons. He takes great interest in what I would like to learn, and moulds lessons around this. He creates arrangements for the songs I am interested in for us to focus on, and provides exercises to develop other techniques. Thanks Alan! More...

Alan has a great, natural style and clearly enjoys what he does. My daughter started lessons as a complete beginner and its been really exciting watching the progress she has made within a relatively short space of time. Alan tailors each lesson to the child which ensures an engaging and positive experience. I recommend Alan to anyone wanting to learn guitar in a welcoming and relaxed environment. Thank you Alan!
