It doesn't matter who you are...
From nervous first-timers to seasoned performers, there is room for all.
Every student has different needs - whether that means focusing on technique or jamming to your favourite songs - lessons are designed to be rewarding, challenging and fun.
Why should I take guitar lessons?
If you've never seriously learnt an instrument before, you're missing out! Apart from all the great health benefits studies have shown that learning a musical instrument can provide, for me it's all about having fun and learning something along the way. One of the most rewarding things for me as a teacher is to look back with my students at the end of term and flick through all of the music we played - reflecting on the challenges that we faced and of course how we overcame them. To see my students take in how far they've come... I think that's a pretty special moment for everybody.
Of course, there are many instruments you can choose from but for me the guitar has always been the most appealing. Guitars are affordable, easily accessible and not before long you'll be able to play along to real songs, with friends, and even join a band!
Can't I just teach myself?
Don't be fooled by the latest 'Become a rockstar in a day' app! Sure, there are many excellent tuition books and online resources available (many of which I recommend!) but far too often I have had students come to me having taught themselves something highly ambitious and unfortunately falling short of the mark. I admire every student that goes the extra mile but every good guitar teacher will be able to pinpoint your true strengths and weaknesses immediately and steer you in the correct direction.
Teaching rates are advised and fairly priced by the Musician's Union themselves. They are also substantially cheaper than that of the local music services.

How do guitar lessons work?
Schools
If your child attends a school in the Bedfordshire area, please check in advance that I am already offering guitar lessons at their school. Every school has their own policy on music lessons which may affect the choice of lessons that I am able to offer.
Guitar lessons are offered each week (for 11x weeks) per term on a repeated basis. Students are responsible fo bringing their own instruments, music and books.
All new students are invited to see what a guitar lesson is like before enrolling and can have a taster to find out what happens in guitar lessons.
To sign up, please press the 'enrol now' button below and follow the instructions.
Private
For 2019/20, one-to-one guitar lessons are offered privately at Grove Road Studios (www.groveroadstudios.co.uk) in Leighton Buzzard at £19/30-minute lesson. Other lesson plans are available on request. Your lessons will be scheduled for the same time each week over the course of each half term (typically 5-7 weeks). If this is an issue, please get in touch and an arrangement may be made.
All students are expected to bring their own instruments.
