Description

The Clitheroe Guitar Studio is the place to be for all your Rock, Pop and Classical guitar music needs at all levels.

Nick Mackey is the lead at Clitheroe Guitar Studio.
He has over 35 years teaching experience and is an International Examiner for the London College of Music.
Nick also writes and delivers courses for gifted and talented pupils of all ages and all experience at LCME Summer Schools.

For many years Nick was Lead Tutor for Rock and Pop Development with the Blackburn with Darwen Music Service. This involved working with many teachers and covering over 900 pupils in Primary, Secondary and 6th Form colleges, to develop the learning of all styles of rock and pop instruments. Nick even wrote the complete Internal Award Exam Syllabus for Guitar and Bass for the Borough.

Nick has had three books published by CORDA music (all Classical guitar compositions), and teaches Classical/Acoustic/Bass/Electric guitar, Banjo, Mandolin and Ukulele.

In January 2015 Nick was awarded ‘Experienced Exam Tutor’ status by the RGT, for continued success with pupils in the exams.

Nick’s teaching has been Quality Assured through the Blackburn with Darwen Music Hub, and he holds the enhanced DBS clearance needed to work with young children and adults.

Nick is a member of the Incorporated Society Of Musicians, and has passed the Educare Child Protection in Education Course.

With all these accomplishments Nick is one of the best in the industry! Nick was teaching and examining virtually for Clitheroe Guitar Studio and The London College of Music / RGT throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. He has great success with all his students. This shows you do not need to have a local teacher as being virtual will give you the same results in the comfort of your own home.

All his students – young and old – all comment how charismatic he is and how enjoyable it is to work with him. You will not be disappointed when meeting Nick.

Nick teaches my son Rock Guitar (just completed Grade 3). He is calm and patient but with an infectious enthusiasm that gets the very best from him. Nick is a superb teacher and I would recommend him to anyone.

Nick is a fantastic teacher. I make progress every lesson. I am learning electric guitar and have just completed my grade 3 rock exam with Nick. I am 52 and started playing 18 months ago. I have been with Nick for about 6 months. My rate of improvement has at least doubled since I have been with Nick. My soloing has greatly improved, as has my guitar skill and understanding of music. Nick is very flexible with times. I have a 1 hour lesson every 2 weeks or so due to work commitments. Can’t wait for my next lesson! 😁 John Davies, Whalley.

I can't recommend Nick highly enough. If you want to play guitar to a fantastic standard regardless of age or ability he is the man for the job. Nick has a wealth of knowledge and experience that is second to none whatever the genre of music. He has taught my son electric guitar for approximately five years now and George still looks forward to his lesson every week and is working onwards and upwards towards his grade eight. Nick manages to teach to an an amazing standard whilst keeping students motivated. A rare feat indeed!

Nick is my first guitar teacher and is absolutely fantastic. I’ve learnt more in the past few weeks than I did in the previous 6 months trying to self teach. He’s always available throughout the week if I have any questions and is always extremely helpful and patient. His lessons are fun and structured in a way that has accelerated my ability faster than I could anticipated! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a teacher!!
