Guitar lessons

My daughter started guitar 11 months ago at age 14 and has made good progress so far. She really enjoys the lessons and is growing more and more motivated. Paul comes to our house, is flexible with the lesson content and is always happy to teach her her favourite songs. He sets high standards and is very encouraging and patient as a teacher.

Great guitar teacher

Paul teaches you 4 children, aged 14 to 9 to play the guitar. At first I'd drop them off at his school but that became tough and he kindly agreed to have the lessons at our home. The kids love Paul. He has helped them build confidence and teaches them the songs that they want to learn. He has even offered to help them to prep for school music exams. Our schedules are a bit crazy but Paul is always accommodating so that music lessons is one less thing for me to think about. Thanks Paul

Brilliant teacher

Paul is both a fantastic guitarist and an amicable guy who has extensive knowledge of a variety of genres. I have been Paul's student for a couple of years now and the lessons have never stopped being interesting and there has always been a good balance between music theory and simply learning pieces of music. Overall, I have no complaints and I would suggest Paul to any aspiring guitarists, regardless of their level.
