Learn the latest chart tunes, or if you are of a certain 'vintage', songs from the 1950's onwards. FREE arrangements are available when you enrol for lessons - no expensive books to pay for! ​ I also transcribe any style of music, so if I haven't got existing transcriptions in my extensive library, they can be finely handcrafted for you!

Shouldn't say, but sort of my speciality! I have been playing acoustic guitar for getting on for 40 years, so I can just about bash out a tune... ​ Seriously, I do play to a high standard and I am sure that I can offer you expert help, whatever your ability may be. ​ In addition to showing you how to strum in the classic 'pub singalong style', I teach standard finger-picking, and I can also play in the 'slap and tickle' style.

This was my college 'major'. I am particularly keen to encourage younger students to take up this instrument, so I offer a discount scheme as an incentive. Normally, Cello is taught at a premium rate, as it represents many years of study. However, I charge a flat rate for ALL instrumental tuition, so that a young student can have a private, individual lesson for as little as £8.

About me
I have been teaching privately and in schools for over a quarter of a century and can play many instruments, he says modestly!
​
The going-rate for a lesson of 30 minutes is £14 - but we can negotiate...
​
I am fully DBS/CRB checked, and currently I work as a peripatetic music teacher at New Mills Primary School.
​
I have worked in many of the local Primary and Secondary schools and I would be glad to discuss working in your school, if you are a teacher.
