Guitar for Beginners, Intermediate players, and anyone looking to learn!

From 54.64 € /h

The Guitar is such a powerful instrument, but so often can be daunting to newcomers who are used to seeing someone butchering 'Wonderwall' around a campfire. I have been playing for seventeen years and specialise in acoustic, classical, spanish and blues/rhythm guitar.

If you've never picked up the instrument, don't worry! I introduce you to a world of music effectively, simply and as engagingly as possible.

Bring a guitar, otherwise there isn't loads we can do... I could try though!

English is an essential subject but can grow to become extremely daunting for young students that struggle to get to grips with it. I specialise in tutoring primary school English students, assisting in creative writing, reading comprehensions and all aspects of exam preparation.

This class will allow each young student to gain confidence in a difficult subject and improve their marks at school. I have tutored children who struggle with dyslexia, ADHD and many different challenges, so don't be put off if your child really feels averse to English!

It might be easy to find an average guitar teacher, but genuine insight is much harder to come by - over the years, I've seen it all, and I want to use my experience to help you!

ABOUT ME
I am a friendly, solid, inspiring, patient, real-world music teacher, with over a decade's experience as a working, touring, studying, writing, teaching, musician!

APPROACH
Creating a nice atmosphere is really important to me. I'd love to know more about your goals and what excites you - your dreams might be as big as building a career in music, or as small as being able to perform a few songs to no-one but yourself and your cat. Anything and everything in between is totally valid and worth exploring!

THINGS I CAN HELP WITH
- How to get the most from music, whether that be through following a grade system, or just learning how to play the music you love.
- Getting to that "next level" of guitar playing, wherever you are at the moment
- Organising the fretboard, rhythm, inspiration, what to practice (at any level)
- Providing helpful real-world context for the things you might be learning at school/college/university/YouTube

- Blocks/worries you might have about any aspect of music, or a kind of music coaching role (I'm not a licensed therapist but I'm here for it!)

FIRST LESSON
This would be an introductory session, where we get a feel for each other and what your aims are. By having a chat, I find that "what we should work on" flows pretty naturally from this, and we'd be able to set out a rough syllabus of what we would work on for the next while.

FURTHER INFO/EXPERIENCE
- Professional musician for over a decade, most notably touring as a guitarist with US Artists Theo Katzman and May Erlewine, as well as a Fleetwood Mac tribute show.
- Taught 1-on-1 and ensemble lessons both privately and in schools, with a wiiiiide range of ability levels.
- I produce and release my own original music with 17k monthly listeners.
- Have worked as a session guitarist on a huge variety of genres (I can help you with pretty much any kind of music you can think of, but I'll be open and upfront with you if I feel my expertise doesn't match what you want. I'll be sorry to disappoint you that my, say, Bulgarian Folk knowledge isn't too hot...)
- Have composed/arranged music for national TV ad campaigns (TUI, Redbull and Vodafone IE)
