I've been having lessons with Steve for a few months now and am really enjoying them. He is a great teacher, covers lots of different styles and I can't recommend him enough.

Steve is such a great teacher. He is very kind and patient and you never feel rushed or judged. Hes is full of smiles and enthusiasm and really takes time to put you at ease when learning new things (when you might be feeling a little scared playing unfamiliar things in front of someone). There are many times when my fingers just wont do what I want them to do and he will just tell me to take a deep breath, break things down and well play things a section at a time until it starts to feel more natural. Sometimes the lesson can end up playing the same chord over and over again but yet it

My 9 year old son started lessons with Steve a few months ago. He's really surprised us with how much his playing and confidence has improved and over such a short space of time. He even felt confident enough to enter a talent show at school recently - proudly playing one of his grade 1 pieces that he had been practising with Steve. Steve is patient and very encouraging and his communication with us from day 1 has been great. I would highly recommend!

Khan has been learning guitar with Steve and he thoroughly enjoys it. He finds him very easy to talk to and they have some funny moments together, which makes guitar more enjoyable. Even though he stopped playing for a while when the first lockdown was introduced, khan has picked the guitar up again and has since done his grade 1 and now working for grade 2. I would recommend Steve to anyone who would like to learn guitar, hes a great teacher. Thanks Steve
