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I am often asked to transcribe unpublished classical guitar recordings onto sheet music which I will do happily for a fee, should anyone be interested.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.
/ Robert J.
expert guitar tuition in classical, rock, blues. Covering improvisation, composition, technique, theory and many methods to improve an even advanced player.
I am not a qualified teacher however, I do play guitar myself and have been for over 5 years now, I am an easy going person and just want to teach music and help people learn the guitar and experience the love I have for music, I have music on music streaming platforms (Spotify, amazon music, apple music)
Even if you are beginner or even dabbled a little bit, it doesnt matter, helping somebody to advance musically would be great.
Nathan has been playing Guitar and studying Music for over 15 years, from Primary School right through to the current day in University. Beginning just under a year ago, Nathan has thoroughly enjoyed passing on his enthusiasm and passion for Guitar and Music alike through tutoring. Nathan has several qualifications in Music, including GCSE, A Level and First Class honours in Musical Arts (BA) and, starting with a Masters, he hopes to add to these qualifications in the future. Nathan’s teaching style revolves around his students and therefore adapts to the different students he is teaching, considering their skill level, age and personality when approaching each lesson. Alongside teaching, Nathan is hugely passionate about playing in his Function Band, recording and mixing songs and of course listening to music almost none stop.
Nathan teaches Guitar from beginners to intermediate level players and teaches Music Theory up to grade 5 of all ages. Nathan’s lessons include breaking down the fundamentals of both guitar ad theory, from posture, fingering technique, scales, arpeggios, chords, rhythm, melody and anything else the student wishes to learn. He will teach any exam boards requested, preparing his students for their respective exams by breaking down each technical component previously mentioned with specific focus given to each section of the exam. Whether the student wishes to focus on melody, rhythm, chords or just playing their favourite band’s songs, he will devote all his energy to providing the required tutoring in helping his students fulfil these wishes, whilst enjoying themselves in the process.
Nathan will give his all to teaching as many genres as he possibly can, although has vast experience in classical and pop music, particularly Funk, Rock and Jazz. His first lesson with any student will be relaxed, with the aim of figuring out the students skill level and what they wish to achieve through their lessons. The student simply needs to let Nathan know their priorities in terms of what they wish to learn and their enthusiasm in achieving this. It is common for Nathan to prepare warm-up exercises for his students, such as stretching exercises for the wrists and hands, along with exercises to develop the technique of each hand, for example finger/plectrum exercises and chromatic scales.
I have studied Classical Music to degree level, majoring in Performance (in which I gained a first), with modules also in Composition (for which I have won the Michael Grady Composition Prize), Music Therapy, Indian Improvisation, Ensemble Studies, Music Industry, Historical, Critical and Analytical Studies amongst others.
Having 10 years of professional teaching experience with students of all ages, BA (Hons) in Classical Music Performance and experience in the music industry, I am an ideal teacher for any student, whether their interest is casual, educational or professional, or for any genre, such as pop, rock, classical, jazz or world music. Each student's syllabus will be tailor made based on their current skill level, goals and tastes, with exercises and repertoire added to enhance their learning.
Whether you want to play and write songs casually in a band or want to work through grades to impress with your technical wizardry, whether you wish to play Classical, Flamenco, Pop, Rock, Jazz or Country, whether you are a complete beginner or experienced and wish to brush up your skills, I can offer a fun and efficient means to do so.

Over 10 years of experience playing both guitar and piano across a broad range of musical styles. My style of teaching is all about harnessing the point of interest for students, and using it as a jumping-off point to develop musical vocabulary and understanding. Music is meant to be enjoyed, and this goes for learning it too!
With a deep working knowledge of music theory and experience in blues, jazz, pop, funk and more, I am able to work well within any frame of musical reference in order to harness and develop a students interest in music.
I am a very patient, friendly and empathetic person, and I appreciate the importance of fostering a positive relationship in order to achieve the best outcomes for students.
