Classical guitar tuition from my home teaching studio in Hazel Grove, Stockport, online via Skype/Zoom or in the comfort of your own home via my mobile teaching service.
The classical guitar is the fine wine of the guitar world and utilises a more disciplined approach and refined technique. It is highly appreciated and well worth the effort.
All ages welcome.
All levels welcome from complete beginner to advanced.
If you're a beginner, you will learn good basic technique and an appreciation of musicianship will be encouraged from the start.
If you're an Intermediate or advanced player, you will benefit from my on-going experience as a concert performer and my up-to-date knowledge of classical guitar pedagogy.
In our lessons together, you will develop your musicality and knowledge of the music you are playing. At the same time, I will help you develop technique with the awareness that it should never be separated from music and it is always an end to the music you wish to play.
I believe in finding ways of adapting text-book technique to your fingers if necessary. The very best players do this - we all have different hands!
You will be encouraged to correct yourself and trouble-shoot your own playing in-between lessons using everything you learn from me.
As with all of my students, I wish to pass on my own passion for the classical guitar by encouraging you to explore the instrument outside of the lessons by listening, watching videos/documentaries, attending concerts etc.
I hold a 100% pass rate in both Trinity & ABRSM exams.
