Hi, thanks for visiting my site. I’ve been playing guitar for 15 years and teaching for the last 4. In that time I’ve worked with students of all ages and abilities, and I’ve found that each person learns in their own way. As such, I try to approach each student individually, and tailor lessons to them.
I’m an RGT registered tutor, so if a student wishes to take their grade exams, we can work from the RGT/London College of Music exam books. However, if a student prefers to learn particular techniques or songs, that’s just as valid.
Over the years I’ve played electric, acoustic or bass guitar in various bands and in many styles, ranging from mellow acoustic pop and golden oldies to death metal.
I studied at the ACM and received a HnD and BA (hons) in Contemporary Popular Music.
