All About Me...
I am a professional musician and I’ve been a guitar teacher in and around the Swindon area for over 20 years but my love of the guitar has been a life long passion. I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t get a tune out of the instrument - it really has been my focus from a very early age. After many years sat in my bedroom as a small boy trying to figure out how to play chords and the riffs of the time, my parents suggested I join the Guitar Club at my Junior School and that was the beginning of years of tuition. Without the help of local guitar teachers I’m sure I would not know what I know today - I’m grateful for the help and guidance I received from all of them!
In Secondary School I was one of just a handful of pupils who took his electric guitar in to school each day to make music with friends and eventually form a band. Today, it seems that every other child is carrying an instrument of some sort and this is always great to see. As learning an instrument becomes evermore popular today so does the demand for music teachers with genuine passion for helping the next wave of musicians make their mark on the music scene. I’ve enjoyed teaching well over a thousand guitarists over the years, seeing many of them progress from playing their first chord to going on stage and inspiring others to take up the challenge of learning how to play guitar. Teaching those with a passion for the guitar is a great job - actually it rarely feels like a job at all!
