Music Graduate with 5 years of experience offering Guitar and Music Theory lessons!
Methodology
I cater my lessons to each of my students! From learning songs via ear, to understanding music theory and Instrument technique, I believe guitar playing should be a fun and gratifying. So it is my job as a tutor to pursue whichever avenue of music the student wants to delve into! Keen to explore, eager to challenge.
Experience
I am a freelance guitarist based in London, and have just finished studying a BA(hons) Degree in Music Industry Practice at the Academy of contemporary music (ACM). I've played many gigs, from small scale productions, to corporate functions and events. I have also worked with numerous artists in studio and live settings, playing in venues up and down the country. With this first-hand industry experience I can provide the most relevant and practical skills to any of my music students.
