In addition to teaching students their own choice of music, I’m happy to say I’m now teaching the Trinity College Rock and Pop syllabus.

Trinity College London is one of the world’s biggest music exam boards & their syllabus offers 8 grades of music performance examinations, equivalent to ABRSM grades. Get in touch if you’re interested!

The first thing I ask a new student is "What music do you like to listen to?"

Book now and learn the music YOU want to play.

(please share if you can 🙂)

Thank you to the students this week for their patience, hopefully I'll be back teaching next week providing my speaking voice has returned!

This video might not mean that much to those who don't play, but it's hands downs one of the best videos out there to demonstrate how using alternative tunings can actually help beginners & how tunings like this can almost simplify the chord shapes for your left hand. Adrianne is one of the best alt-folk artists of these times & it's a huge bonus she made this video.

Learning guitar doesn't have to mean practicing scales or learning twiddly solos by hoary old rockers. That can work for loads of people & I'll always teach that stuff - but there are other ways of learning too 🎸

Video credits goes to Newport Folk Festival.Adrianne Lenker illustrates the alternative tunings she uses to write her songs.
