Classes

Over the years, I’ve specialised in teaching children and have provided countless classes for children of all ages from 5yrs through to young adults. My background was working with young children at a Montessori nursery so I understand the importance of encouragement, patience and empowerment from an early age and working with all different age groups comes naturally to me.

Lessons for adults are also very much welcomed. I have many years experience teaching adults too and the core goal remains the same. The lesson content and approach is always tailored to the individual.

Classes will always be held in a positive and relaxed environment with a patient focus on the process. Paired, with a functional focus to our playing, we can see practical results from the start. Mistakes are embraced and to be learned from, this is fundamental to staying motivated. These values have helped me guide the journey of so many students, whether it be for weeks, months or years at a time.

This is the ‘how to physically play’ part. Skills range from correct picking and fretting, smooth strumming and more advanced techniques involved in fingerpicking and soloing.

Learning songs is a great way to stay engaged and see immediate evidence of your progress. Songs can be suggested by you or set by me, whichever we decide. Students will get familiar with chords and reading tab as a result.

Good improvisation is about the confidence to know where and what you’d like to play in real time. Essential to this is mapping out the fretboard using scales, not for the sake of it but with a practical focus. We will also gain an understanding of the most essential and practical of music theory to help fortify the backbone of your playing so you can play with freedom.

The most popular format, allowing for the greatest degree of personalisation.

Prefer learning with a friend? Those who benefit from a more social aspect may suit group learning.

Perfect for those who prefer something remote and a little more flexible.
