What times do you teach?
Lessons can be anytime between 9am and 9pm, Monday
to Saturday (at present I do not teach on a
Sunday)
Where do you teach and how much do the
lessons cost?
I teach from my house which is about a two min
walk from the high street. There is a map for you
to look at on my website. Lessons are £10 for
half a hour or £18 for one hour.
If I buy lessons in advance is there any
discount?
Yes. Buy three in advance and get the forth for
half price.
What levels of guitar playing do you
teach?
I teach all levels of guitar players including
complete beginners.
What can I expect from a lesson?
Part of my job is to work with you to find the
best way forward for you as a guitar player. I
will explain the lesson to you in clear terms and
at your pace. If you don't understand something
then feel happy to have me explain it to you until
you do understand. There will be written notes for
you to take home to remind you of the lesson. Of
course it is important that you
have fun too!
If there is a piece of music that I want
to play will you be able to help me?
Yes. From strumming chords to playing solos an
important part of learning to play guitar comes
from being able to play other peoples music.
I have never played a guitar before - what
will you help me with?
I will help you through the basics of guitar
playing and present you with the information and
guidance you need to play. I can also offer advice
on how to buy a guitar.
Will I be paying you to play guitar?
No. At points I may need to play to demonstrate a
piece or technique that you need to learn or I may
play a short piece to inspire you, but you are
hiring a teacher and not a performer.
Do I need to read music in order to learn?
It may come as a surprise to you but most guitar
players, including the famous ones (even the great
Jimi Hendrix), do not know how to read music!
Can anyone of any age learn?
Yes, although as a guide I would
suggest that my lessons are appropriate
for anyone of least 7 years of age. There is a
myth that you can only learn an instrument if you
are young - this is not true! It does not matter
how old you are when you start to learn.
Will you teach at my house?
I do not drive although I aim to soon. For now I
only teach from my home although I could come to
you if you are in walking distance from Gorleston
High Street. However If I come to you there will
be an extra charge from 10%
Can I cancel a lesson once it is booked?
Yes, although if the cancellation is within
24 hours then I will still charge you as I have
had to keep the lesson appointment open for you
and it is unlikely that I will be able to fill
that time with another pupil.
In the unlikely event that I cancel a lesson I
will aim to give you at least 24 hours notice.
If you have any further questions then please feel
free to email or phone me.
