I am based in Newport, South Wales and I have been teaching guitar since the mid-nineties. I spent a number of years studying classical guitar with a teacher from the Trinity College of Music before moving on to contemporary styles and in 2003 I completed an Adult and Further Education Teacher’s Certificate. I try to persuade each student that to learn a small amount of theory will improve their playing potential. Most people starting out on the guitar wish to play their favourite songs but with a knowledge of harmony, intervals, chord theory together with an understanding of the basics of rhythm and tempo they are able to work these out for themselves. Rather than make the student dependant on me to learn their favourite tunes I provide them with the means to accomplishing it for themselves.

I am also able to provide guitar lessons at the house of the student. However, please bear in mind that on top of the lesson fee I need to cover the cost of my travel to and from the lesson. I do not operate outside a five mile radius of my home address, postcode: NP20 4LD.
