Qualified music teacher with 18 years of industry experience gives guitar lessons online and at home in Newcastle

Hello, my name is Damien. I have been playing the guitar for over 20 years, and I have constantly been developing my technique and creativity. I see the guitar and music as an extension of myself as I have been able to express myself through this medium.
I have played in various bands and projects over the years and gained amazing stories and experience in the music industry, which I enjoy sharing with aspiring students.
I am a straightforward and outgoing individual with a burning passion for music, which I hope to share with you.

Since I have completed PostGCE for Young People and Adult Specialists at Newcastle College, I have developed more effective teaching methods and improved my teaching. I always make my lessons clear and instructive with an achievable goal for the session. Using individual lesson plans, which are designed with the student, each student has a tailored plan for what they want to achieve.

My passion is music and performing guitar to a very high standard. I have been playing for 20 years and continuously developing my skills with the instrument throughout. I have taught since 2014 with students achieving Rockschool grades and becoming professional musicians.
I currently work at a Secondary School, which allows me to continuously improve my teaching practice and develop practical resources for learning.
I have a professional home studio that allows me to deliver high-quality online lessons to you in the comfort of your home. In-person classes will experience professional-quality recordings and reflect on their playing with your copy of your performance.

I offer a free 30-minute "get to know" session. This can be conducted online via Discord or at my home studio. If you have any questions, please drop me a message.
