PLAY & SING: MASTER THE GUITAR AND YOUR VOICE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
From 28 £ /h
UNLOCK THE JOY OF MAKING MUSIC BY MASTERING BOTH THE GUITAR AND YOUR VOICE!
Have you ever wanted to sit down with a guitar and sing your favourite songs flawlessly, but found it difficult to coordinate your hands and your voice at the same time? Or perhaps you want to improve both skills individually? This class is designed specifically for you.
As a musician, I know that playing guitar while singing requires a special kind of rhythm and muscle memory. In these tailored, one-on-one lessons, we won't just practice boring drills—we will practice using the music you actually love to listen to.
🎸 What We Will Cover:
GUITAR ESSENTIALS: Chord shapes, smooth transitions, rhythm, strumming patterns, and fingerpicking.
VOCAL TECHNIQUE: Breath control, pitch accuracy, expanding your vocal range, and finding your unique tone.
THE "COMBO" COORDINATION: Specialized techniques to help you separate your hands from your voice, allowing you to play and sing simultaneously without losing the beat.
SONG INTERPRETATION: How to arrange songs to fit your personal style and vocal range.
🌟 WHY CHOOSE THIS CLASS?
Two-in-One Value: You get high-quality guitar instruction and vocal coaching combined into a single lesson.
100% CUSTOMISED: Whether you are an absolute beginner who has never touched a guitar, or an intermediate singer looking to accompany yourself, every lesson is adapted to your pace and goals.
ALL GENRES WELCOME: From Pop, Rock, and Folk to Indie and Acoustic covers.
📍 Practical Details:
Levels: Absolute Beginners to Intermediate.
AGES: All ages welcome (Kids, Teens, and Adults).
LOCATION: Available for online lessons via webcam, or in-person at [My Home / Your Home in City/Region].

About Me
HI, I'M STEVE! I’M HERE TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR UNIQUE MUSICAL VOICE, MASTER THE GUITAR, AND BUILD THE SKILLS TO PLAY AND SING WITH ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE.
Learning music is a deeply personal journey, which is why I tailor my teaching style to match exactly how you or your child learn best. To make lessons as convenient as possible for your family, I offer complete flexibility in how we connect. Whether you prefer the comfort of online lessons, coming to my home studio, or having me travel to your home, I provide a focused, patient, and highly engaging environment.
For our digital sessions, I use a professional audio and multiple-camera setup so online students can easily see my hand placements and hear vocal nuances seamlessly. For in-person lessons, I ensure a structured and welcoming space designed to get you playing right away.
WHO I WORK WITH:
Young Learners (Ages 8+): I make music fun and rewarding! For younger students, I focus on building a strong musical foundation through engaging, bite-sized lessons, interactive exercises, and playing songs they actually know and love.
TEENS & ADULTS: Whether you are picking up the guitar as a creative outlet, looking to relieve stress, or aiming for professional growth, we will move at a pace that fits your busy schedule and unique lifestyle.
ALL SKILL LEVELS (Beginner to Professional): If you are an absolute beginner, we will start from scratch with basic chords, rhythm, and vocal control in a judgment-free zone. If you are an experienced musician, we will dive deep into advanced fingerpicking, vocal dynamics, performance techniques, and the art of seamlessly playing and singing simultaneously.
Backed by my experience in music tutoring and performance, I know how to break down complex concepts into practical, actionable steps. Whether your goal is to play for fun in the living room or prepare for the stage, I look forward to partnering with you to reach your musical dreams!
