Online guitar lessons from the comfort of your own home!
I focus on active learning in a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere, encouraging students to develop practical musical skills through creativity. I ensure that students are playing music from the very first lesson, using popular songs as reference points for learning foundational techniques and theory. Either students choose their own songs or I can guide lessons based on tastes, aspirations and ability. Lessons are ultimately built around ‘doing’ rather than ‘knowing’, whether that involves learning songs, developing improvisational techniques or songwriting. Most importantly, I make sure we make music together and have fun in the process. Practical Information: Styles: Rock, blues, funk, folk, alternative, soul, jazz fusion, R&B, electric & acoustic.
