Expert Guitar Tuition in West Sussex
I am a dedicated guitar tutor with over a decade of experience teaching students of all ages and abilities. My journey began at age ten, inspired by my father's passion for flamenco guitar, and has evolved into a career combining performance and education. I specialise in Blues, Rock, Flamenco, Classical, Indie, Pop, and Jazz, offering structured lessons that break down technical challenges while maintaining enjoyment.My teaching philosophy emphasizes clear goal-setting and a down-to-earth approach, supported by qualifications including a BA Hons in Music Performance and Grade 8 RGT certification. Having performed for audiences exceeding 5,000 and taught through institutions like Fender GBI, I combine real-world expertise with tailored instruction to help students overcome obstacles and achieve their musical aspirations.
