From Bedroom Riffs to Festival Stages: The Future Your Child Can Build
Learning guitar is about so much more than theory. It's about the confidence to collaborate with others, the discipline to practise a tricky solo until it's perfect, and the creative joy of writing their own music. These are skills that build resilience and open doors, whether they're aiming to play at a local Matlock festival, join their first band, or simply have a creative outlet that brings them happiness for years to come. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade in their chosen subject.

The Right Tutor to Nurture Their Musical Passion
Imagine a tutor who doesn't just teach scales, but asks, 'What band do you love? Let's learn that riff.' It's about finding someone who tunes into your child's musical taste and builds lessons around what excites them. This personal connection, where a student feels truly heard and understood, is where real confidence begins to grow, turning 'I can't' into 'Watch this!'.
Each session is shaped entirely around your child's goals. One week might focus on mastering the power chords for their favourite rock song; the next could be understanding the blues scale for improvisation or even songwriting basics. The tutor adapts every lesson, focusing on the practical skills needed to play with others, building the confidence they need to step out of their bedroom and into a jam session.
And this all happens online, from the comfort of your home in Matlock. No need to travel for lessons after a long day. Your child gets access to inspiring guitar specialists from all over the UK—we only accept 1 in 8 who apply—fitting sessions easily around school, hobbies, and family life. It's expert musical guidance, made to work for you.

Jonah S
Jonah is very easy to work with. He seems to genuinely be interested in helping me and my progress . He challenges without being pushy, and in the short time I’ve spent with him, I’ve already grown as a guitarist. He also has a wide range of knowledge in every area that pertain to me producing my own music. Very highly recommended!

Jonathan W
Jonathan is an excellent guitar tutor. I started with Jonathan as a complete beginner and I feel that I am progressing with each session. Each session Jonathan goes through, theory, answers questions and reviews what I have been practicing over the previous week. At the end of each session Jonathan documents what I need to work on over the next week. He offers encouragement and always has multiple hints, tips and advice to improve my guitar playing. Jonathan is very patient and has a passion for guitar playing. I would highly recommend him as a tutor, whether you are a beginner or more advanced.
