I have experience teaching students of all ages. I teach a wide range of ages but recommend starting no younger than age 5.
I offer music exams if this is something you want to pursue. I have vast experience in teaching the rockschool exam grades.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginners and advanced students in a wide range of styles. I will make sure you learn at a speed that works for you.
I can cater for complete beginners
I have a First Class BMus degree in Music from Cardiff University and am currently studying for a Masters in Music at SOAS University of London. I have studied up to Grade 8 in the Trinity College London syllabus.
I’ve been performing across the country for the best part of five years, and have recorded an impressive collection of music. This includes my debut album ‘The Wallace Line’, a collection of original songs and arrangements, inspired by my work with African, Indonesian, Classical and Folk music. I am especially proud of this album, recorded at my home during the COVID lockdowns and being a true expression of my own language as a musician.
I grew up studying classical guitar, honing my technique before reaching university. I was then exposed to Indonesian gamelan, West African guitar music and English folk melodies and fell in love with all these soundworlds. Since then, I’ve been performing, arranging and composing a wide variety of music with the guitar as my instrument of choice while still maintaining close traditional instrumental links.
We wlll always work at a pace that suits you
I like to make sure that every lesson you take with me is enjoyable as I really believe that enjoying what you learn is the key to fast progress.
As a teacher, I have taught large group workshops at Cardiff Guitar Festival and have been teaching beginner students one-to-one. My lessons are performance focused, as I believe everyone has a natural performer inside of them. I’ve been sharing a whole world’s worth of music for many years now, and hope to do so for more to come.
As I’ve been stepping into a more creative and fulfilling period as a performer, I’ve been inspired to begin teaching and help others develop their skills – I want every musician to be the most creative versions of themselves they can be.
Music stores in the local area
There is a wide range of guitar and instrument shops in the area. Here is a couple that I would personally recommend.
One of the best in my local area is Music & Beans, which is a great concept for a music shop where you can browse and buy instruments as well as using the coffee shop that they have on site. They are located on 461 Green Lanes, Harringay, London N4 1HE.
Another option, if you are an artist who is looking to record some material, would be House 599, on 559a Green Lanes, Harringay, London N8 0RL. This is a great recording studio kitted out with everything you need to record your first track in the area.
I'm an experienced player and performer offering high quality lessons and tuition in Harringay for students of all ages in a wide range of styles. I will make a lesson plan based around the music and the styles that you both love and enjoy. We will always work together to achieve your playing goals.

My lessons are charged at £40 per hour and £28 per half hour for students of all ages.
I'm a mobile teacher which means that I will travel to you for your lessons and you'll be able to learn in a familiar environment.
I teach students of all ages and abilities and would recommend starting no younger than age 5.
Weekly lessons combined with plenty of practice are the best way to master guitar.
Lessons cancelled with less than 48 hours notice will still be charged full price.
