Business overview
I have been teaching guitar since I was 18 and have taught clients of all ages (from 4 years to 80 years). From my mid 20s.
I teach the art of playing the guitar but can tailor the structure of the lessons to suite the student so I can focus on a particular style of playing or a particular aspect of playing such as rhythm playing, finger picking or improvisation etc.
At irregular intervals I arrange what I call Guitar Ensemble Concerts where a student gets to perform live on stage with a band at a local venue. These have been very popular with students and their families who get to see the progress they are making.
As well as peripatetic teaching for private students I have provided courses for:
Yorkshire Mental Health (NHS) where I taught band performance. This involved people of all musical abilities first learning an instrument (drums, bass, keyboards, guitar, vocals etc) and then learning skills that enabled every one in the group to perform the music in a professional, entertaining and fun way.
H.M. Prison Wakefield where I taught creative writing and guitar. This involved group workshops where I was teaching unsupervised.
Knottingley Community Centre. This was an after school group where we tried to learn a song and perform it in one session. Children of differing ages and abilities were in attendance and we played keyboards, percussion, guitar, drums and vocals and on occasion wrote new songs.
Yorkshire Arts Circus was a local education/lottery funded organization that organized courses for people looking to find out more about the arts. I ran several courses including song writing, improvisation and sound recording.
Through my own studies on harmony, composition and improvisation I have become well versed in these areas and apply these skills to the work I do with the band Envizible Orkestra. The band has gained world wide recognition for its use of compositional devises such as complex meter change/poly-rhythm and improvisation.
