I have over 13 years of experience in studying guitar, including 4 years studying BMus Composition at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. I also studied classical guitar under Graham Devine during my time at Trinity. Education experience: 

I have a real passion for helping others to learn and have assisted practitioners as a Learning and Participation Apprentice at Chichester Festival Theatre with groups of all ages and backgrounds. I have also lead workshops in schools in South East London as part of the Engaging Audiences and Creative Educator programmes at Trinity. 

 

Grading and Music Theory: I am familiar with the grading systems and exams of Trinity and ABRSM and can guide you through these up to Grade 8 should you wish. In addition I can also lead you through your theory exams up to Grade 5 as well as into more contemporary and experimental musical territory if you are interested. Tailoring studies and pieces: As a composer I can both tailor studies for you to play, depending on your technique, background and interests, as well as arrange pieces for you that may have been originally written for other instruments and ensembles. Song writing / Composition: 

I can guide you as song-writers and composers too - in fact I became a composer after veering off from the sheet music I was tasked to play as a student - I appreciate there will be points of divergence when learning which are also worth pursuing and will encourage and support you at these junctions. Self taught: 

I recognise many guitarists are self taught before they begin more formal tuition and value and encourage the idiosyncratic techniques you may bring with you - jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery’s thumb technique is "unorthodox" for instance but gave him a unique and brilliant sound. I will aim to integrate what you bring with a widely applicable technical foundation. My specialisms: My primary technique and background is classical guitar and so this is the territory that I can contribute the most in. However although the technique and instrument are my specialisms this is only a small part of my repertoire and I have been as much influenced by blues, folk, jazz and funk as I have from the classical canon. I believe that by learning this technique though, as well as applying it within diverse styles, it can open up great possibilities for the instrument (including electric).

Whether you or your child are a total beginner, or if you've been playing music for years and want to expand and develop your abilities - be it harmonic, rhythmic, or compositional tools, I can teach you to add structure to your learning, and make it both personally rewarding and fun. For over 10 years I have worked as a performer and a guitar teacher for all ages. Working in many schools (primary and secondary) across East London, I have taught hundreds of children and helped them progress through classical and rock grades with ABRSM and Trinity exam boards. As a creative musician myself, I also love to focus on the fundamental building blocks of music and how they relate to the guitar. These blocks - Rhythm, Harmony, and Melody are the cornerstones for all music. Through studying them both separately and together, we can demystify both the fretboard of a guitar, and also learn about our favourite songs, regardless of what style it may be. It also informs the technique we need to develop in order to achieve certain results. We can then use what we learn to improvise, and create our own music. This relates to both an absolute beginner and to someone who's already shredding their way around the neck. It's the work that I do myself everyday! As a performer, I play in many different groups mostly playing jazz, improvised music, and Brazilian music. I lead my own jazz quartet and trio as well. I run regular jam sessions around London, and play an active part in the creative music community. As well as being a guitarist, I also play Brazilian percussion too. I studied a BMus in the University of Hull before moving to London to work as a professional musician. Since then, I have studied further with some of the most renowned guitarists in the world including Peter Bernstein, Lage Lund, Nir Felder, Ben Monder and many more. Some of my own personal favourites include The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and Joao Gilberto.
