lessons

PLEASE NOTE: All my lesson times are fully booked and there’s a 2 year waiting list, so I’ve closed my waiting list for the foreseeable future.

Playing guitar is fun, so learning to play should be fun too! At the first lesson I’ll talk to you about what music you like, what you’d like to play and where you want to go with playing guitar. Then I’ll set up a program just for you.

You’ll pick songs that you want to learn and I’ll work out how to play them and then teach them to you. Along the way I’ll not only teach you what notes or chords to play, but also the skills and techniques you’ll need to play them, and how to learn other songs for yourself.

You’ll learn about the equipment we use and how it all works together. I also provide opportunities for live performance each year so you can show off what you’ve learnt, if you’re so inclined. You won’t need to learn a lot of theory, but if you want to know why you’re playing particular notes, then we can go down that path too.
