I teach both online and in person from my West London studio, working with people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re looking to jam with friends, write your own music, get ready for a recording session, or just play for your own enjoyment, I’ll help you build the skills you need, and enjoy the process as much as the result. I currently offer lessons in: 🎹 Piano and keyboards 🎸 Acoustic and electric guitar 🎸 Bass guitar 📖 Music theory (from the basics to advanced harmony and analysis) 🎓 Support for GCSE and A-Level music students I believe lessons should feel creative, inspiring, and genuinely useful - not just a box to tick.

£46Learning to play GUITAR is a magical journey, and you deserve a great tutor!

Trusted teacher: "I strongly believe that anyone can achieve great results and learn anything when they’re motivated and enthused.

It’s important to me to create a nurturing environment to enable my student to explore their ideas without fear of failure, building confidence and ultimately excelling. I take pride on being able to discover the way a student thinks and the style of learning that best matches them. Above all though: a good sense of humour and fun goes a long way to ensuring the whole learning experience is positive.” PAOLO I qualified to teach: - Classical, Acoustic and Electric guitar lessons up to Grade 8 and DIplomas (Trinity College, ABRSM, RockSchool). - Piano, Bass guitar and Singing lessons up to Grade 6 (Trinity College and ABRSM). - Music technology, sound design and audio editing tuitions and workshop on Cubase (v. 7 to 11) and Logic Pro X . - Music theory, songwriting classes, and private tutoring for GCSE students who need extra help are also available.

Lou

Highly recommended! It was really nice to receive a message from Lou regarding our search for guitar lessons! Due to corona and a closed school, my 13 year old had more time to play guitar and she wanted to learn more about composition/scales. How cool that for online lessons, distance is no obstacle (we live in Luxembourg). We highly recommend Lou's enthusiastic and professional lessons!
