Teaching Style
As a guitar tutor in Liverpool I will always cater to the individual needs of the student due to varying abilities and personalities. In general I will focus on music theory (scales, chords etc) and overall technique (lead playing, rhythm playing, plectrum technique etc.) but will also approach the students favourite songs/artists and improvisation in order to make the lesson as fun as possible. I am a firm believer that learning an instrument should be enjoyable and that a teachers role is to be a guide in order to focus that enjoyment more efficiently and productively. So not only will you improve on your instrument but I will make sure that you have fun doing it!
Specialities
I specialise in Blues, Rock/Pop, Funk and Soul.
Other Services, Areas of Knowledge & Musicianship
I am an accomplished vocalist (having led bands for approx 10 yrs). Additionally I am a songwriter and have a good knowledge of recording techniques, arranging and producing.
Other Information
I am able to travel to students houses. If the student is within a 5 mile radius I will not charge expenses. If the student is further away then an expense charge will be added on top of the fee. This will discussed prior to the lesson and will be kept to a minimal amount. I may also be able to travel to Birkenhead and Wallasey.
