(1 review)

Personal Description:

I am a professional Guitarist, Composer & Teacher currently residing in Maidenhead, UK. I have been playing the guitar for over 13 years and have performed in various venues across the UK with well-respected artists including Brian Henry (Soul2Soul) and Daisy Godfrey.

This has led me to interviews with the BBC West Midlands, Notts TV and multiple festival performances throughout the UK including Splendour and YNot Festival (featuring Stereophonics, The Vaccines & Jamiroquai on the lineup). I have also performed at some of the UK's best entertainment venues such as G Live in Guildford and the Electric Theatre supporting artists such as the Hot 8 Brass Band & Rose Windross.

I achieved a BA (Hons) Degree in Professional Musicianship at The Academy of Contemporary Music in 2019 and received my A-Level in Music Performance at one of the worlds leading music colleges in London, formerly named Access to Music. After studying music for multiple years, I have learned to be competent in the art of Music Theory, Musical Composition, Improvisation and Sight Reading.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching these skills I acquired throughout my years of studying for over seven years to students of all ages across the world, including Australia and Greece. I have also taught online and in-person within multiple parts of the UK including London, Berkshire, Surrey & Nottingham.

I have also worked for multiple peripatetic teaching companies and music services across London, Surrey and Berkshire including setting up my own private tuition company (RRC Guitar). In recent times, I co-run a successful music agency in Reading called Inspired Music School.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to teaching is to make the lesson fun, comfortable and provide the utmost enthusiasm in the session.

The key for me, is to identify the students learning approach, whether this be visual or auditory, once this is established I'm able to tailor the lesson to the student. In regards to the content for the lesson, I'm able to teach grades 1 - 8 Rockschool, ABRSM and Trinity.

However, I have students who don't wish to take an exam and just wish to learn their favourite music, I'm also completely happy to take this route. Regardless, whether you are just starting out, or wishing to break the rut, I'm happy to work with you and take your guitar playing to the next level.
