I'm a professional electric guitarist, composer, and songwriter from and based in Birmingham, I’m keen to pass on my knowledge and experience to students of all ages and abilities! I plan my lessons to suit the student depending on what exactly it is that they want to achieve. The learning process will help students find new goals and ideas for what they want to learn next within music, whether as a casual hobby or a serious career path for them, lessons should always be fun.
As an electric guitarist, I can teach for both ‘standard’ guitar (6 strings in E standard), and I can teach for extended range instruments such as 7 string guitar, if the student is interested in branching out into that!
My guitar teaching comes from a background of gigging, recording, and groundbreaking academic research, so whether you want to play lead guitar in a band, play your favourite songs, or learn theory and prepare for University while playing guitar, I can definitely enrich your playing.
For composers, I draw from a multitude of influences, including modern rock and pop, 21st and 20th century classical music, and anything in between, from Takemitsu to Debussy, Birtwistle to Beastie Boys. My philosophy is, if it exists, you can and should learn from it, I hope we get to introduce each other to a lot of new music. Regardless of what your background is and what your intentions are, I can definitely help you and provide you with a new and unique perspective on your writing that can take you to the next level. I love passing knowledge onto others, seeing the excitement, creativity and progression of students is what got me into teaching.
I can also prepare any student for theory grade exams. I taught myself up to ABRSM grade 8 theory when I was preparing for University, and so I want to provide a more laid back, lower pressure setting, where students can discover the best ways for them to learn and apply music theory. I can also teach theory far above ABRSM standard, and give feedback on Musicological, composition, and analysis based work for University students and aspiring academics.
