Suitable for those who have never played guitar before, or even for people who have had a guitar for a little while but are confused as to where to start, both adults and children are welcome.
When learning a new skill, such as the guitar, it always important to get the basics right. A good foundation will help greatly to ensure mistakes and bad habits are avoided in the future.
Videos and books can be an extremely useful resource, but nothing beats one-to-one tuition from an experienced tutor to ensure you are learning correctly.
As a tutor of many years, I have a wealth of experience at guiding new guitarists on their first few steps. Lessons progress at a pace you are comfortable with, aiming to help you achieve your own goals and play your favourite songs and music as quickly as possible.
