When I started the guitar I just wanted to play songs and sing them. A friend taught me the basic chords and I got hooked. 12 years later & my guitar is an inseparable part of my body.

After moving into music full time a year ago I decided to put my previous experience as an English language teacher to good use and started teaching guitar and sometimes piano.

The lessons are ideally for people wanting to learn to play contemporary songs. This can be any style. However, my particular expertise is in folk, rock & pop.

And can be for electric, acoustic or nylon stringed guitars. If you’re also interested in learning to sing or write songs we can bring that into the lessons. And if you’d prefer to learn on a piano than a guitar that’s possible aswell. For a reference of my guitar playing or songwriting, please listen to the album on this website.

Here are what a few students have said about my teaching:

“Neil has been for me a highly skilled and effective teacher, who has taught me the techniques and theory of guitar playing from being an absolute beginner. He has allowed me to master the main guitar chords and the ability to change between them with fluency. I would recommend him to anyone seeking to learn the guitar or improve their playing.”
- Chris Bliss-Jones - Guitar student.

“I took piano lessons with Neil. He made me feel very free to play and improvise as well as teaching the technique. He is great at finding creative ways of explaining the most abstract things about music. Method is not the important thing in his approach, he really makes you find your own way. It was a lot fun and made me really want to learn how to play.”
- Roberta Vaz - Piano student.

If your interested but not sure, the first lesson is free.
So you can give it a go and continue if you like it.
Thereafter lessons are just £20 for one complete hour.
