Teaching
Private lessons:
John teaches privately from his home in East London. One-to-one teaching is the most effective way to learn, especially if you are prepared to put in the practice. John teaches all age groups starting from 8 years old. He is CRB checked.
Group lessons:
John teaches small groups in Central London locations. Group lessons are cost effective and a great way to spend an evening. Class mates support each others learning and many have become friends as a result of taking part in the sessions.
Sign up for the GUITAR ACCESS newsletter if you want to be kept up to date with teaching events.
Skype lessons:
John can teach you wherever you are through the use of Skype or Facebook etc. Slightly cheaper than one-to-one tuition, many students still find them to be a very effective way to learn.
House Concerts:
John is available for ‘House Concerts’. Although these are primarily performance events, John is happy to add in a workshop or teaching element into the performance.
