    I have a flexible approach to lessons and aim to teach students whatever they want to learn. Students can bring in their favourite CDs, mp3 players, songbooks so they learn music they already know and love. Otherwise I have a HUGE repetoire of lessons and songs to inspire you with.

    Whether you want to strum for fun, learn to play in a band, write songs or work towards grades I can tailor lessons to suit you.

    Recommended Grade books

    For electric guitar I recommend the Rock School syllabus.
    The exams (1 to 8) are fully accredited by the QCA (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority).

    For classical guitar there are syllabi by either:
    RGT (Registry of guitar tutors) or:
    ABRSM (The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music)
