Certificate to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (CTLLS) Music Educator’s Diploma Member of the Musician’s Union Member of the Registry of Guitar Tutors Current enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) disclosure Peripatetic music teacher Lead guitarist in 2 bands
I started playing guitar in 1981, playing all styles of music (although mainly rock and pop music). I also studied classical guitar for several years. I teach all levels and abilities across all ages at competitive rates. Lessons are one-to-one so there is no pressure and you can learn at your own pace, in a friendly well equipped environment. Learning guitar should be fun, rewarding and something that can be enjoyed for life. I also offer vouchers which can be used as Birthday or Christmas presents.
Certificate to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector
When looking for guitar lessons I would advise you to look for a guitar teacher that has a Certificate to Teach In Life Long Learning Sector (CTLLS).
Although it is not mandatory to have any formal qualifications to teach guitar, you may want to ask yourself: would you send your child to a school of unqualified teachers or take driving lessons off someone who was unqualified?
A guitar teacher with a CTLLS will have demonstrated the following knowledge:
understand ways to negotiate appropriate individual goals with learners understand how to plan for inclusive learning understand how to use teaching and learning strategies and resources inclusively to meet curriculum requirements understand how to use a range of communication skills and methods to communicate effectively with learners understand and demonstrate knowledge of the minimum core in own practice understand how reflection, evaluation and feedback can be used to develop own practice understand key concepts and principles of assessment understand and use different types of assessment understand the strengths and limitations of a range of assessment methods, including, as appropriate, those which exploit new and emerging technologies understand the role of feedback and questioning in the assessment of learning understand how to monitor, assess, record and report learner progress and achievement to meet the requirements of the learning programme and the organisation. understand how to evaluate the effectiveness of own practice
~ CTLLS overview
Music Educator’s Diploma
The Level 3 Diploma for Music Educators is ideal for musicians working in educational contexts who wish to develop fundamental teaching and learning concepts together with an increased understanding of areas such as employment opportunities, self-employment and marketing. The qualifications for Music Educators are flexible, in that learners who have completed the Level 3 Certificate can build on these units to work towards the Level 3 Diploma. Similarly, learners beginning on the Level 3 Diploma may subsequently decide to discontinue their studies after having achieved sufficient units to be awarded the Certificate.

Current enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) disclosure
WHAT IS A CRB CHECK?
A Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check provides organisations with copies of any records held by the Police and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) of current or prospective workers (often through their recruitment process). These records cover the period from the workers age of 10 years old. Individuals are not permitted to apply for checks, only organisations! There are currently 2 levels of checks, Standard & Enhanced.
WHAT IS A CRB DISCLOSURE?
A disclosure is a “certificate” of the check and is issued to both the applicant and the organisation and reveals information of any convictions and can also include cautions, reprimands and warnings. This disclosure is used by the organisation (usually in the recruitment process) to make a safe, fair and just decision in placing the applicant in certain posts (usually those that come into contact with children and, or vulnerable adults).
WHAT IS AN ENHANCED CRB CHECK?
An Enhanced CRB check is the most revealing and not only reveals convictions but also, unlike a Standard check, cautions, reprimands and warnings. Enhanced checks are essential for placing the applicant with many positions involving children and/or vulnerable adults.
Teaching in Schools
I am also a peripatetic music teacher and am available to teach at local schools. I currently run courses at the following schools:
Brewood C of E Middle School St John’s CE (VC) First School St Mary’s C of E (C) First School St Paul’s C of E (C) First School Coven St Michael’s CE (A) First School Penkridge
Bands
I have played with various bands over the years. Currently, I play guitar in:
Kick Up The 80s Big Up The 90s
I also played lead guitar with Tranzam, the classic rock tribute band, for ten years between 2000 and 2010. I also recently played in The 7Teez, a 70’s tribute band. Prior to that I played in Shiver, Full Confession and Razor Edge. Above is some footage of Big up the 90’s at Mathew Street festival playing to over 20,000 people. At the time this was the biggest free street music festival in Europe. I have also shared the stages with Roy Wood, Toploader and Jacki Graham to name few.
Recent Posts
I moved to London from the midlands in the 80s to start a career producing music. I worked for MCA music in the publishing studio before going freelance to work on countless albums with very diverse artists such as Peter Gabriel, Jeff Beck, Youssou N,dour. I have worked with guitarists such as Steve lukather, Dominic Millar,Marc Ribot, Mike Stern, Kevin Armstrong. After 30 years I decided to move back to the midlands where I pass my experience on to pupils of the guitar. I teach most styles and levels including classical and electric from a dedicated teaching room in Rugeley Staffordshire. Beginners to advanced welcome.
I'm a professional Music lecturer and tutor, Guitar teacher and Bass tutor based in the West Midlands. As a Music tutor/instrumental tutor I have 1000+ hours of teaching experience, I hold a Popular Music Degree and in a College employment setting I have 14+ years experience of teaching college students from ages 16+ to adults in a range of levels (1-5).
I know every student’s journey is different, and my aim is to meet each student where they’re at, learning through Music we discuss their aims and develop the curriculum to develop their understanding.
As a musician I play in a variety of bands and performance situations as well as session work for bands and for artists up and down the UK.
I’m a Bass player for a Midlands based punk band who have released three albums and with this I have played festivals around the UK.
I play Guitar for a folk/rock band, a high end function band and also for a Queen tribute band.
As a teacher I work closely with pupils to develop personal goals, and work together on a simple plan on how to reach them. I believe understanding the reason the student is taking lessons and playing guitar/bass or embarking on other musical developments is fundamental to providing quality tuition, so I strive to create plans with the pupil to support their aims. Each lesson always keeps the pupil’s individual goals at its centre, and is created to develop musical fluency.
Ultimately I teach the student to teach themselves by understanding core musical concepts and developing a base of fundamental skills, these include; Ear Training - learning how to recognise the chords in any given song by ear; Strumming and Picking/Fingerpicking Technique - fluency with all standard right hand techniques is a must, and I teach these prioritising what is commonly used in their favourite styles; Reading TAB as well as Staff notation.
Creative Playing, Song Writing, and Improvising is my favourite area of playing and teaching as it helps learners find their own voice! I help to build knowledge of music theory in a practical and applicable way, exploring new concepts that will enable students to discover new sounds.
Again, this is catered to their aims - if they wish to write songs we'll look at some of their favourite artists/genres, see what they're doing, and set some aims for targets to write using some of their techniques.
If learners want to improvise, we'll explore some of our favourite improvisers - what scales to they use, how do they shape their phrases, and what articulation techniques are employed.
If learners have experience playing but need to improve techniques I can show drills and exercises that will make them a better player.
We explore a lot of aspects - from how to move economically; where to have tension and where to avoid it; tonal possibilities as well as how to structure your practice so you get the most for your time, whether you have a little or a lot.
Hello! I'm Freya B., i'm 17 year old musician from the UK. I have played guitar for just over 10 years now, I studied music BTEC for 2 years and achieved Distinction * + Distinction Level 2 in the course. I have around 5 years of live music experience playing with a handful of bands across the country on a rosta of musicians. I have also currently been kindly selected to be a part of Gibson Guitars 2 year G3 scheme after applying last year which is a course to assist younger musicians within the industry starting out. I have experience teaching guitar and music in general and overall just enjoy what i do and im keen to inspire a new generation of guitarists to start their musical journey. 🙂

Now I do all my lessons on line, either by Skype, Zoom or any other equivalent .It is cheaper for the pupil, no travelling, so no fuel used, and easier all round as the timings can be changed easily on either side, to suit any sudden problems.
I teach reading music as a given, right from the beginning. Either classical or acoustic but no specific styles, i. e. country, folk, blues etc. No, I will teach you to play properly with tutor books and additional material and with the knowledge gained you will eventually be able to play in whatever style suits you, but I will not teach a style at the lesson.
Having 60 books of guitar music published in 5 different publishers, and having played, arranged, transcribed and written all forms of guitar music since my teens, I am uniquely equipped to teach anyone whether a beginner, or an advanced player or any level in between.
I am often asked to transcribe unpublished classical guitar recordings onto sheet music which I will do happily for a fee, should anyone be interested.
I now have my own classical guitar sheet music and CD review site at www.allclassicalguitar.co.uk and so my working life is completely music based.

-Sorry to say that I no longer live in the UK and am no longer teaching, so I can't help anymore. I can't find how to delete my account, so I'm writing this here instead. Good luck everyone! - I'm Nic S. and I've dedicated most of my life to music. If you're passionate about music, I'd really love to help you improve your skills, and develop your creativity. My first instrument (Which I've studied to degree level) is guitar, and I consider this instrument my 'Home base'. Music is more than just 'playing guitar' though, so I'm also open to teaching music theory, composition, songwriting, production, engineering as well as mixing and mastering. I don't work to a curriculum, and I don't teach grades (Unless it's what a student wants). Whatever you're struggling with is what we'll focus on, and the music that excites you is the music we'll be learning about! I'm here to teach you, for you. Despite having an academic background, I really feel like music is for everyone, and whatever helps you achieve your goals matters more to me than if you know 'standard theory' or things like that.
