Where are you located?

Do you teach online lessons?

Yes, I offer online lessons via Google Meet for those who prefer to learn from home or live outside Milton Keynes.

Can beginners join your lessons?

Absolutely! My lessons are tailored to your skill level, whether you’re a complete beginner or an intermediate player.

Do you teach students with special needs?

Yes, I do! I have experience working in SEN (Special Educational Needs) schools, where I’ve taught guitar with great success. Learning to play an instrument offers numerous mental benefits, including improved focus, memory, and self-confidence. It also helps with emotional expression, stress relief, and can provide a sense of accomplishment. Playing and teaching the guitar has been an important part of my own mental well-being, helping me emotionally and offering a sense of purpose. I’m dedicated to creating a supportive environment where students of all abilities can experience these same benefits.

How often do I need to take lessons?

It’s entirely up to you! I offer weekly, fortnightly, or monthly lessons to fit your schedule.

Do you offer group lessons?

At the moment, I focus on 1-1 lessons to provide personalised attention and ensure each student progresses at their own pace. However, feel free to ask—depending on your needs, I may be able to cater to group lessons.

What kind of guitar should I get as a beginner?

For full-size guitars, I recommend Harley Benton as they offer great quality for the money and are very budget-friendly. If you’re looking for a 3/4-sized guitar (ideal for younger players or those with smaller hands), 3rd Avenue guitars are a fantastic choice. Plus, my students receive a 15% discount on 3rd Avenue guitars—just ask me for the details.

Do you offer a trial lesson?

Yes! I offer a 30-minute free introductory lesson for all new students. It’s a great opportunity to discuss your goals, try out a lesson, and see if my teaching style suits you!

What styles of music do you teach?

I teach a variety of styles, including rock, pop, blues, and more. Lessons are customised based on your musical interests and goals.

What do I need to bring to my first lesson?

Just bring yourself and your guitar if you have one! If not, I have one you can use during the lesson.
How do I track my progress?

Each student is given access to a dedicated online Google Drive document to track their progress and practice goals. This document includes summaries of what to practise after each lesson, along with links to any necessary materials, ensuring you stay organised and keep track of your success.

Are you DBS-checked?

Yes, I am fully DBS-checked, and my studio is equipped with CCTV, which is on at all times to ensure a safe and secure environment for all students. Parents and guardians can feel confident about their children learning with me.

Do you offer any additional services?

Yes! Alongside guitar lessons, I offer guitar restringing and setup services to keep your instrument sounding and feeling its best. Students can also use lesson time for professional recording opportunities, capturing their progress in a high-quality studio. Additionally, I provide basic music production lessons using Logic Pro X, ideal for those looking to complement their guitar skills with production knowledge.

What DAW software do you use for recording and teaching?

I use Logic Pro X for all recording and teaching sessions. It’s a professional-grade DAW that offers everything from multitrack recording to advanced editing and mixing tools. Whether you’re learning the basics of music production or recording a track during your lesson, Logic Pro X ensures high-quality results and a streamlined workflow.

Do you offer gift vouchers for lessons?

Yes! You can purchase digital gift vouchers for lessons, making them a perfect gift for anyone interested in learning guitar. Contact me for more details!

Can parents or guardians attend lessons?

Yes, no problem at all! Parents or guardians are welcome to stay and observe the lesson. There’s even a coffee machine available to make your visit more comfortable.
