Professional Musician teaches guitar to students of all ages and levels

Hi, I'm Will, I'm 29 years old, and I'm a professional guitarist and musician based in London, with a degree in music from the University of Bristol. I'm available for in-person and online lessons in electric guitar, music theory, and composition, as well musicology and music history. I have a full enhanced DBS check, and have had experience teaching at schools, and privately.

I've been playing guitar since I was 10, and music has been my passion since then. I play guitar in rock, pop, classical, hip hop, funk, soul, and many other styles, and I can tailor my lessons according to your tastes and aspirations. I've played hundreds of gigs nationally and internationally, and with that experience I can equip you to succeed in whatever it is you're looking to achieve.

My approach:
Our first meeting will always be about understanding any prior experience, where you want to get to with guitar, and how you want to get there. I can help anyone from beginner to advanced players.

After the first lesson, I will structure the first block tailored towards your needs and aspirations. If it's exams you want to take and pass, or just play your favourite songs, or indeed refine your technique, we can work together.

At the end of the day, I will tailor the lessons to each individual pupil, so you can get the best out of your learning experience. Engaging your love for music, and passion for creativity is what I believe in - and this is what yields the best results.

Repertoire:
I believe in the student choosing their repertoire, as this makes the experience a 1000 times more enjoyable for you, but if you're at a loss where to start, we can work together to get to the right place. We will talk about this in the first lesson.
