I’m a friendly, patient and supportive teacher. I’ve taught hundreds of students and have been teaching long enough to know that we all have our own learning styles and our own set of baggage and limitations! While I’m not qualified to be your therapist, I do understand that learning any new skill will take you out of your comfort zone and will probably cause you some discomfort and unease. I will make your lessons as enjoyable as I can, giving you small wins when possible, and gently encouraging you when things get tough.

For over 10 years, I owned what became the Own A Chord guitar school. At its peak, I was supporting up to 150 weekly students, as well as training and managing a small team of teachers. We put on regular jam sessions and performance events to encourage our students to collaborate, connect and experience the joy of performing on stage. Largely as a result of these activities, I saw many of our students make incredible progress.

Helping people gain the skills and confidence to perform the music they love on stage is the most rewarding thing I have ever done.

I’ll now be teaching a select cohort of private students to go “from beginner to band” within only a few short months, distilling everything I’ve learnt into a new course. Choose your favourite songs, master essential techniques and shine on stage!

The full course consists of 10 x 60 minute private lessons, but you can book a block of five or even pay as you go, whatever you prefer.

I offer a free 30 minute consultation to discuss your goals, expectations and figure out whether we'll be a good fit to work together.
