How quickly will I be able to play a song?
Sooner than you’d think — many students play a recognisable song or riff in their very first lesson. Lessons are built around making music straight away, so it never feels like a chore.
Do you teach complete beginners?
Absolutely — beginners are a big part of what I do. I teach children from age 6 and adults, from those who’ve never held a guitar to returning players picking it back up.
What ages do you teach?
All ages. Children from age 6 right through to adults of any age. Lessons are always tailored to the individual student.
Do you prepare students for exams?
Yes — I prepare students for both Trinity Rock & Pop and RSL (Rockschool) guitar exams, up to Grade 8, which is the grade I hold myself. Exams are optional and we only enter when you’re ready.
How much do lessons cost?
Lessons are £55 for an hour and £30 for 30 minutes, with 45-minute lessons also available. Payment is by bank transfer, and I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or rearrange a lesson.
Where do lessons take place?
In my home studio in Enfield, or I can travel to you across North London — Enfield, Southgate, Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill and nearby areas. Travel further across London is possible depending on location.
What styles do you teach?
Mainly rock, blues and pop — plus the technique and music theory underneath them. Having performed in bands for over ten years, I teach these styles from real playing experience.
What’s included with lessons?
Backing tracks, progress notes, homework, chord and fretboard diagrams, and tablature — everything you need to make the most of your practice between lessons.
Do I need my own guitar?
Ideally yes, so you can practise at home between lessons — that’s where the real progress happens. If you’re not sure what to buy, I’m happy to advise on a suitable first guitar before you spend anything.
