If you've always wanted to learn to play the guitar or drums I cater for the complete beginner through to the seasoned player. Call if you want to learn:
- Nylon-Strung Spanish

I hold Grade 8 qualifications in both Classical Guitar (ABRSM) and Percussion (Guildhall). I concentrate on developing correct technique/posture (essential foundations for any player) whilst retaining variety and "fun" in the sessions.
Lessons are held in my dedicated studio in Woodthorpe, just north of Nottingham.
Formal examinations are catered for if required, but this is not essential.
I am a full member of the Musicians Union, and carry the necessary insurance. Please contact me for a totally informal chat.
I am experienced in teaching all ages, and offer a professional yet relaxed and safe environment and approach. It is important that you feel comfortable and at ease with your tutor, and I will happily meet with no obligation prior to starting tuition.
Above all, I believe that learning an instrument should be FUN, no matter what your age and ability. Anyone can learn to play the guitar so please call me on 07966 849153 to talk to me - I look forward to helping you.
Thanks Chris

As a complete beginner I needed to learn from someone who was a great guitar player
Once I did I soon came to realise I needed someone who was also a great teacher with bags of patience and an ability to pass on skills that anyone wishing to learn guitar would find invaluable. Chris is the man who can do all this. He's given me a structured approach to improving my playing, but also he's got a tremendous amount of experience to draw on, along with plenty of hints and tips. If you're looking for a knowledgable, dedicated tutor who plays at your speed then you'd be well advised to look no further than Chris. My lessons with Chris are very rewarding.

My 8 year old son loves his guitar lessons with Chris
He knew very little about music before he started. In just a matter of weeks Chris has taught him how to read music and he’s now playing confidently. More importantly Chris has made it fun with lots of enthusiasm and praise. My son looks forward to his lessons every week and is happy to do his guitar practice at home. When I asked him to describe in one word what he thought of his guitar lessons – he said `brilliant'.
