About Me

I have acquired a wealth of experience within the music business, with a semi-professional involvement that has spanned over forty years. I didn’t pick up the electric guitar until I was seventeen, but I was playing in a band within six months due to my obsession and methodical self-teaching.

I now play several related instruments i.e. acoustic guitar, bass, banjo, ukulele, mandolin and the diatonic harmonica. I offer lessons on all these instruments.
I am able to give lessons "Online".

I became a music teacher at a relatively late stage in my career, in fact it happened almost by accident! I had just been made redundant from an engineering position, and was killing time in a local music shop by trying out a guitar (October 2002).

The proprietor was evidently impressed with my playing, because he asked if I was interested in taking on students. My first students were all originally customers of this shop (Muzart's in Bishop’s Stortford). Another local music shop in Harlow (Tones) was also kind enough to allow me to advertise in their premises for students.

I have since become a member of the Registry of Guitar Tutors. and the Musicians Union. I consider myself as one of the lucky people whose hobby and interest have grown into a successful living.
