Guitar Coaching & Lessons
Formal, structured guitar lessons for all ages and abilities. I have exceptional patience and extensive training as a coach / instructor. Beginners are very welcome. I also offer creative and motivational support for more advanced players.
I have designed a 15-module course that will take you from absolute beginner to being able to communicate ideas and create music effectively with other musicians. This covers all the fundamentals of being able to make music with a guitar and it is not style-specific. Nor is it time-bound. This enables me to provide a flexible service that centres on each individual student - based on their skill, aptitude, commitment, ambition, budget, time constraints.
I pride myself on getting to know what motivates each student and how I can facilitate their aims. Therefore I always preface the first lesson with a short consultation / assessment. Guitar playing is a rewarding and challenging journey so I encourage students to be creative, experiment and enjoy the experience.
Production Music for Media
I have a deep library of excellent instrumental cues ready to soundtrack your Film / TV / Web production. I can also deliver bespoke pieces and edits. With a number of successful placements internationally, I have a proven track record of being able to provide broadcast quality recordings that capture the spirit of your visuals.
Live / Studio Sessions
Looking for a professional, reliable, versatile and focused player for your studio recordings or live performances? I have my own gear and transport and a wealth of performance experience.
