Description

Hey! I’m Simon, and I’m a guitar teacher with 11 years teaching experience. No matter your age or experience level, I can help you become a confident, well rounded musician.

Whether you’re just playing for fun or have dreams of selling out massive arenas, my coaching has helped dozens of players overcome their barriers, and I’d love to help you do the same!

I have a wealth of experience and patience as a teacher. To keep things fun, I use song-based learning to teach new techniques, rather than running boring drills and scales. My students stay motivated and progress faster as a result.

Electric Guitar / Acoustic Guitar / Bass / Ukulele

I started learning the electric guitar at age 12 after seeing the music video for 'Can't Stop' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In the following years I also took up the acoustic guitar, bass, ukulele and I joined my first band in 2005.

Since then I have been playing, recording, writing, and gigging in diverse settings and genres. All of this playing experience has given me a great insight into how people approach making music and he uses this to create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere for my students.

Through my lessons you will develop:
Enhanced technical ability
Deeper musicality
Rhythmic intuition
Instrument care
Confidence

Using song-based learning for technique development, you will build skills and knowledge in:
-Basic instrument care
-Chords & Harmony
-Picking - Plectrum, Finger-style, Hybrid
-Timing and Groove
-Playing from tab, by ear, and from memory
-Soloing and Improvisation

I also integrate songwriting and music theory into my lessons, ensuring you actually understand what you’re playing, not just how you’re playing.

Topics may include:
-Genre/Song Analysis
-Songwriting Methods
-Musical Vocabulary
-Scales & Modes

Genres include but are not limited to…
-Rock (Rock 'n' Roll, Classic, Modern)
-Blues
-Ska / Reggae
-Metal
-Pop

- Your First Lesson -
Your first lesson will be a chance to get to know me and experience my teaching style first hand. You will be able to discuss areas that you find challenging and you'll start taking the first steps to achieving your personal goals.

- Beginners -
For guitar, bass or ukulele you will just need your instrument (and maybe a few plectrums). Music sheets and all other materials will be provided by Simon.

- Getting in Touch -
Please send me a message using the button on top of the page. If you can, please also include the following details:
- Your Current Level
-What instrument you would like to learn
-Your musical preferences (what would you like to play)
-What you would like to achieve with your playing
-Any areas that you are finding challenging
-Whether you would like online or in-person lessons

Thank you for taking the time to read about me and I look forward to hearing from you

Simon has been teaching our son bass, for about 6 months. He loves the lessons and has made great progress. Simon is very organised and always sends resources for the lessons in plenty of time. We would highly recommend him!

Our son (11yo) has been having bass lessons with Simon for 7 months now. We're really pleased with our son's progress from an absolute beginner to strutting around the living room playing along with the songs Simon has introduced him to. We've done both in-person and online lesson options and both have been great. Simon was recommended to us by a friend whose son has taken guitar lessons with him for a while, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Simon to anyone - adult or child.

Simon has been teaching my 11 year old bass guitar for nearly two years and is absolutely brilliant. He is professional, patient, encouraging and makes lessons fun and interesting. My son has progressed amazingly during this time. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Simon has a love of music that is infectious and carries through into his teaching - helping you feel that as you learn you are also exploring music. He is great with goal setting, good at explaining concepts, and is always making sure the difficulty is enough to be challenging but also remain fun. Learning with Simon feels collaborative and joyful - and I always look forward to our lessons.
