Professional musician teaching guitar, ukulele, bass and music theory to all ages!

From 25 £ /h

Hello! My name is Jen and I am a session guitar and bass guitar player with over 10 years of professional experience. I have performed in a wide variety of bands, playing genres such as pop, rock, soul, jazz and folk, and using techniques like finger-style, slap, palm muting and picking.

It is so important for people of all ages to learn new skills and discover methods of self expression - playing an instrument can be a gateway to enhancing children's development and future life skills. This is why I am so enthusiastic about teaching music to kids but also to anyone wanting to learn. I will listen to their needs and goals and personalise the process for each individual ensuring they get the most out of these sessions.

I am eager to share and teach my knowledge of these wonderful instruments and inspire my students to have fun whilst playing and in turn, excel as a musician and performer!

I also teach music theory as it is a pivitol part of understanding the instrument at harder levels.

I believe it's really important to teach with the students goals in mind and so to begin with, I would have a conversation about where they are with their playing currently, where they want to be and what they want to primarily focus on. This is so that we both get the most out of lesson time!

I look forward to meeting you and playing some awesome music!

Ever feel as though you're stuck knowing where to go next with the guitar?

Or perhaps you've picked up the instrument for the first time and it's incredibly daunting?

1 to 1 guitar lessons are a great way to fast-track your learning through specifically tailored lessons, exactly what you need to progress and improve! Alfie's lessons teach you to understand what you are playing, how to practice properly, and how to enjoy the learning process. Whatever age, background, level or influences, everyone should have the opportunity to learn the guitar, let their musicality flourish and their creativity thrive.

I come from Hong Kong. I specialize in tutoring Classical, Pop, and Jazz guitar for beginners and intermediate students. My goal is to keep students combining theory with practice and make themself enjoyable with music. I assign exercises after every lesson. and provide videos to support students.

Josh has been teaching Guitar and Music Theory for 2 years to a range of different ages and abilities. By creating individually tailored lessons for each student, Josh focusses on personal interests and goals in order to keep sessions interesting and fun. However, whilst doing this, focus is maintained on the areas of those interests which will help with kickstarting their progression!

A typical lesson will consist of working on a song, technique, theory , or all of them combined. From this, students will get to keep their worksheets, leaving plenty of resources for individual practise!

Josh has been working as a musician for several years, gigging, teaching, and composing professionally. Alongside this, he graduated from LIPA with a First Class Honours in Music. Josh also possesses music theory knowledge up to ABRSM Grade 5.

As a session musician, Josh covers a large range of genres regularly and can cater to many different interests for his students. However, the genres of Rock, Jazz, Funk, and Soul are his preferred styles.

Josh looks forward to hearing from you for all of your Guitar and/or Music Theory needs. Thanks!
