I am a classical guitar performer and teacher. As well as being keen to help beginners, I take up to advanced level on the guitar. Whatever style you ultimately want to play, or if you are looking to write and sing, classical guitar is the tried and tested way to learn to read music properly and to learn technique well. I offer a free initial lesson to talk these things over with you and guide you, whether or not I am right for you. Classical guitar is the trunk of the tree; from this all other styles can easily be learnt. Classical just means a process of a piece becoming established. The 6-string acoustic guitar, with learning to read - so that you can access the wonderful world of music, and enjoy playing with other musicians,- is what I have successfully taught to ages 5 to 70 for years. As well as classical guitar I perform on the lute, vihuela, citole and renaissance guitar. See me on my LinkedIn profile or watch my new performance video on UTube at: https://www,youtu.be/MjP6oSJ_bjA Good luck -and my advice is look around as most good teachers will offer a no-obligation initial lesson. And- enjoy the journey!

What do you love most about your job?

I love seeing and hearing beginners playing and reading music successfully within the first year. It is so satisfying as guitar music at beginner level is varied and interesting. With beginners it is seeing how the hands “ wake up” unused muscles, then also seeing the brain develop reading and playing skills, often in duets with me, and finally the soul smile as a lovely piece is achieved.
Everyone has their instrument, their “ souls voice.” Find it and you have a lifelong companion through good and bad. It’s the finding that is hard; you need the right guide, and you need to avoid choosing an instrument because it’s a “good idea” to learn it. There’s one out there - it may be the tuba- that makes your heart cry with joy. That’s your soul instrument, and if it’s guitar there is no greater task than guiding you on your journey.

What inspired you to start your own business?

Just the confidence I got from other people around me who encouraged me to play and teach. And slowly learning that I’m a good teacher !

Why should our clients choose you?

I can only say, you know when you have found the right teacher! It may bot be me, so look around and ask for a trial lesson. I choose pupils very carefully after meeting up first.I am very patient, and experience counts here- I know the guitar repertoire well and have always been able to get people on the right path.
Not taking too many pupils, and performing, gives me credibility. I care about them!

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

Yes- I do remote lessons, mainly to support one to one lessons when my client cannot make it face to face.
The problem is the poor quality of some remote services- Discord is the best audio I have found.
It has taken time to learn how to conduct online lessons well- it's mainly down to the teacher planning things and giving feedback differently. Nothing however can replace real time interaction and sound. Duet playing - which I like to use in lessons alongside solo pieces and technical exercises- is impossible. Remote lessons do not really help to develop tone and the feel of the instrument, and posture can be hard to correct properly. It’s a back up, not in my view easy or viable unless there’s no alternative!

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

During covid I made sure of safe distancing within the teaching room, and used Zoom and Discord or Skype for lessons. I have continued with this. If there are any symptoms then I do remote online lessons.
