Chris - Forest Hill - Electric guitar

Methodology

I am a musician with over 15 years of professional experience on a variety of string instruments as well as piano and drum kit. I have been teaching for over 10 years.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

I teach the violin, piano, guitar (including bass guitar) and Ukelele.

- Tell me about your qualifications.

I qualified as a secondary music teacher (QTS) in 2002. My course also covered a lot of music technology, sequencing and recording skills.

- How much do you charge?

Lessons are priced at £30 per hour. This is the Musicians' Union London standard rate. Shorter lessons of 30 minutes are £15 and 40 minutes is £20.
I offer a sibling discount where the lessons are placed together.

- Where do you teach?

I teach in my home and also can visit you if required. I travel short distances (Forest Hill, Catford and Sydenham) for no extra charge, but will travel further for a negotiated extra fee.

- When are you available?

I mostly teach after normal school hours and on Saturdays. This may change soon.
I take normal half term breaks off, but will teach selectively over the summer and Easter holidays.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

I teach from age 4 up to adult on all instruments. I can teach up to advanced on the violin, grade up to 6-7 on piano and grade 5 classical guitar.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I usually enter students for ABRSM grade exams, but also use Rock school for selected guitar students (dependent on genre).
