Welcome to
Hi everyone, My name is Rich Zbaraski & I'm a professional guitar teacher offering high quality guitar lessons in the Islington area for students of all ages.
I want to bring enjoyment to my lessons. I want to make sure all of my students enjoy learning to play the guitar and always learn in a direction that they want to learn in.
In our lessons together we will improve both your playing and your knowledge of the guitar whilst learning the music and artists that you love to listen to in your spare time.

I love and enjoy a wide range of genres & styles of music & this is reflected in my teaching style. I can offer lessons in everything from Classical, Pop, Rock, Funk & many more!
I have experience in teaching both young learners and adults and believe that music should be for everyone. I will help you learn in a direction that you like regardless of age.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I'm able to teach both beginner and advanced students in a wide range of genres. Get in touch to find out more.
A highly respected musician and musical director having toured, performed on television, and recorded with artists such as Louis Tomlinson (One Direction), Ella Eyre, Sigala, Andy Brown (Lawson), Rationale, JC Stewart and so on.
I have also performed on West End shows including American Idiot UK, Marco Polo and filmed tutorial videos for Cirque Du Soleil as well as been called for some of their world tours. I will use my playing experience to help you gain valuable knowledge about performing as well as helping my students gain more confidence in their playing.
From an academic point of view I have achieved a Bmus Degree Middlesex University – 2:1, ABRSM Violin – Grade 8, ABRSM Viola – Grade 8, ABRSM Double Bass – Grade 7, ABRSM Music Theory – Grade 5, RSL Rockschool Bass Guitar – Grade 8, RSL Rockschool Guitar – Grade 8 & RSL Piano – Grade 5.
As I have dedicated my life to music from a very young age I am fluent in many instruments however, I would be able to aid your learning to any standard on VIOLIN, VIOLA, GUITAR, BASS GUITAR, DOUBLE BASS & PIANO. With double bass, violin & viola I received a distinction for my grade 8 exams with ABRSM, and with guitar, bass and piano – grade 8 with Rockschool.
My teaching style is largely based around finding what works best for you. Learning the rules but also the best way for you to apply these! Discovering an instrument can be scary and confusing, but I am here to show you how rewarding the journey can be.
Above all else, I want to make sure my students enjoy learning and because of this I will always tailor the lessons around a direction that you want to learn in.
