About the guitar lessons…
Personalised and structured learning
My lesson plans combine structure with flexibility, offering a tailored approach to suit your individual needs. I believe in a solid framework rather than random, ad hoc teaching methods. Each new lesson builds on the previous ones, ensuring steady progress and a strong foundation.
Efficient and Effective Progress
This structured approach is not only time-efficient but also empowers you to play the music you truly want to create. The flexibility within this framework allows us to adapt to your unique learning style and goals.
Tailored to Your Goals
Your lessons are customised to ensure you get the most out of them while having fun. Whether you want to strum a few chords at home, play with friends around a campfire, jam with a band on weekends, or aim for professional-level playing, I’m here to help you achieve your goals.

My approach to teaching guitar…
First and foremost, I want to emphasize my passion for playing and teaching guitar, something I’ve dedicated my entire adult life to.
One of the greatest rewards of teaching is witnessing my students’ progress. There’s nothing quite like seeing a student overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and grow into confident, skilled guitar players. Every small victory, whether it’s mastering a new chord or performing a song they’ve been working on, is a reminder of why I love what I do.
Why one-on-one guitar lessons work best
Establishing a strong personal connection with you is essential. Without this connection, the learning process can be challenging, if not impossible. Lessons should be informative and enjoyable—something to look forward to, never a chore.
That’s why I offer private, one-on-one lessons. This approach allows us to cultivate a personal connection and provide you with the individual attention necessary for mastering an instrument like the guitar.
Boutique studio experience
Unlike the larger, impersonal music schools where students often face high turnover rates among instructors, my studio operates on a boutique model that ensures consistency and quality in your learning journey. Here, I am your dedicated instructor, committed to your growth. With years of experience and a deep understanding of teaching guitar, I offer a personalised approach tailored to your unique needs and goals. This stable, one-on-one environment fosters a deeper connection, allowing you to progress more effectively and enjoyably.
Structured and adaptable lesson plans
Through my years of teaching, I’ve learned the importance of having a structured plan. While every student has unique needs, a basic framework for lessons is essential. This framework ensures progress is logical and well-organized.
I continuously review and refine lesson plans to incorporate the latest industry practices and ensure you receive top-quality instruction. These plans are then tailored to meet your specific needs.
Commitment to your success
Remember, guiding you toward success as a guitarist requires time and dedication. There are no shortcuts, but with consistent effort and the right guidance, you can achieve your musical goals.
