GUITAR & BASS TUITION for ADULTS

Sessions are one hour, one-to-one and cost £50 per session. They are held in our practice room weekdays from 5-6pm and there are limited places available.

BEGINNERS
These are designed for serious-minded beginners of guitar or bass players who have time to practise every day and want in-depth lessons which cover all the basics of technique and theory, whilst learning how to practise effectively and avoid bad habits.

INTERMEDIATES
These are designed for intermediate guitar or bass players who practise regularly and want to start focussing on the details in order to develop their knowledge and/or their creative side.

Unfortunately we do NOT offer tuition for children, young teenagers or groups.

I am an asthmatic so if you are a smoker or live in a house with smokers, then unfortunately we can't work together. The passive smoke on you and your clothes is a trigger.
