More Than Just Chords: How Guitar Shapes Their Future
Learning the guitar is a powerful exercise in discipline and creative thinking – skills that are vital for every academic subject. The focus needed to master a new song is the same focus they'll need for their GCSE revision. The confidence gained from performing, even just for their tutor, translates directly into feeling more self-assured in school and interviews. In a city with such a vibrant music scene, from The Wedgewood Rooms to Victorious Festival, learning an instrument connects your child to a creative world that builds character and resilience for whatever comes next.

Kevin P
Inspiring, highly experienced tutor Guitar guitar tutor
I started playing guitar at the age of 6 years old when I was at primary school with a beaten up old classical guitar with bent machine heads and crazy string height – it helped me to learn the basics but I didn’t really take to it and didn’t practise at that stage.When I was coming up to my 13th birthday I was kindly offered an electric guitar and that was it, I was hooked! I wore out many tape players trying to copy artists such as Dire Straits, Shadows, Gary Moore and Jeff Beck to name but a few..

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.
