Personal Description:

My name is Vince. I have many years experience playing guitar and mandolin in bands, folk and ceilidh dance groups, churches and choirs.

I have an enhanced criminal records check updated annually, providing reassurance in my professional work with children and adults, including those with vulnerability and disability.

My taste in music includes folk, rock and blues, traditional Northumbrian and Celtic, Americana and music with a spiritual dimension.

I am experienced in various guitar and mandolin music styles and techniques as well as bass guitar, banjo and ukulele. This includes acoustic and electric instruments, finger style playing, a developing ability in formal classical guitar playing etc… I sing in a community choir as well as leading a small choir of my own. Therefore the ability to link development of singing and music-reading techniques to instrumental playing is another aspect of my interest and teaching capacity.

My musical skills continue to develop by completing further advanced guitar grades and by the teaching of my students. I successfully completed a Community Music facilitator's course at the Sage, Gateshead in 2012.

References and Feedback about all aspects of my music experience and teaching are available on request.
