Learn open chords, famous riffs, barre chords and basic strumming & picking patterns
As well as my experience in education studying my MA (Distinction in Commercial Music) and as a guitarist in London's prestigious music scene, I have extensive experience teaching in many capacities.
In London I received SafeGuarding Children training with Kings College Hospital where I also acquired an enhanced DBS certificate. Since my graduation in 2014, I have enjoyed 6 years as a professional musician and guitar teacher. I believe that as an experienced player, it is highly important to inspire the next generation of enthusiasts.
I offer a methodical and tactical approach to guitar lessons that has proven effective over the several years that I have been teaching. It is of utmost importance that my students remain enthused and excited to achieve their guitar goals!
Take on solos, challenging riffs & exotic chords
During my time as a guitar teacher catering to all ages and abilities, creating and maintaining a relaxed learning environment has become second nature. I believe that friendly settings can only encourage growth and interest as a music enthusiast.
I take a keen interest in my students' musical goals as this information strongly influences the type of material that I present. My aim is to efficiently provide and nurture the tools that you will need to make your musical visions a reality!
Any materials delivered to you in addition to the lesson will be of exceptional quality and prepared in my home studio right here in Clapham, at which you are most welcome to receive lessons.
