Hello & Welcome.
Whether you’re looking to learn guitar for personal development, to complete your Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) skills section, improve your practice routine, work towards graded exams, or explore a new style, lessons are available both online and in person.
I teach all ages and abilities, including adult beginners, online in-person & on demand. I am of course DBS Checked & parents are required to stay for the duration of the lessons
About you
What do you want to achieve?
In the end, it’s just as much about who you are and what you hope to accomplish as it is about the opportunities available. Here are a few reasons you might choose to learn, but most importantly I look for dedicated learners who can commit to a consistent 30, 45, or 60 minute session at the same time each week, whether online or in person.
Regular, structured lessons build consistency and discipline, leading to the strongest long term progress.

Whether you’re a complete beginner, returning after a break, or looking to push your playing further, lessons are tailored to your level and goals. You may be revisiting past progress, rebuilding confidence, or starting from scratch with a fresh challenge.
DofE
Duke of Edinburgh
Learning guitar is an excellent choice for the DofE skills section. Backdate hours and complete silver & gold beyond the initial bronze requirements.
The programme helps young people aged 14–24 develop valuable life skills through meaningful achievements. Guitar is a rewarding, long term skill that fits perfectly within the Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards.
For Grades
Electric, classical, acoustic & music theory
Work towards recognised guitar grades for clear progression and motivation with Rock School or Trinity, music theory is with ABRSM.
Practical grades 1–8 are available, with grades 1–5 offered through ABRSM. Exams can be submitted as a continuous video, depending on the board and format you choose.
About the business
What to expect
What you need to know is that after your intro you’re expected to sign up to either a 30 45 or 60 minute session each week. Consider why you’re learning and what lesson length would suit you and your situation best.
Lessons aren’t rescheduled because you’re asking to swap with somebody else and that somebody else could well have been you! Life gets in the way sometimes, if you can’t attend we’ll take a rain check and resume the next week at the same time whether online or in person, a mix. Lessons are term time with a monthly payment continuing through out the year. It’s a month’s notice / final payment to cancel. You’re billed on the 1st or 2nd of each month.
It’s now time to consider booking your 30, 45 or 60 minute intro.
