If you are looking to start learning or improving on piano or guitar then look no further. I have been teaching and performing on piano and guitar for over 25 years.

I always try to work with the music the student wants to learn, and am happy to let you guide me in the musical direction you want to go in, while also helping you to gain the skills and knowledge you need to achieve this. I teach young children in primary schools and give them a firm foundation in piano and guitar.

Lessons can be online or in person, if you can get to me in person.

As well as teaching I am a professional performer - I have learned many tricks over the years of how to learn music to performance standard quickly. I can teach about playing by ear, reading music, improvising, classical, jazz, theory etc. I have a BA Mus (First) in classical guitar, with Jazz piano and teaching.

Please get in touch and lets talk about your music goals.

Decided to take up learning classical guitar playing in retirement,with limited musical background. Didn't realise how difficult it was going to be. I was very lucky to find Jon lived nearby, to help me with introductions to technique, essential exercises,scales and arpeggios.

Jon explains his instructions very clearly, my daughter picked it up quickly and enjoyed each lesson, eager to practice more at home. She not only improved her ability with Jon but also grew in confidence with her new Guitar skills.

My daughter had lessons with Jon for a number of years over her time at primary and really enjoyed them. He was patient and kind and gave lots of opportunities to learn pieces of interest to my daughter as well as following an appropriate program of learning. I would highly recommend:)
