I'm an experienced teacher and have taught players of all standards, but I specialise in working with guitarists of an intermediate to advanced level. As well as lessons in jazz, I teach improvisation, technique and theory to guitarists in any style.

 

I'm a professional guitarist and graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's Jazz Degree, and winner of Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year 2018 - I'm also experienced in rock, blues, soul, funk and folk. I'm very passionate about music, and love to share my enthusiasm with my students! 

I can help you with: 
 

• Scales/Modes 

• Chords

• Rhythm & Groove

• Fretboard knowledge – break out of boxes
  and really own the neck! 

• Jazz Improvisation - modern and old-school

• Blues Improvisation

• Technique

• Theory 

• Composition 

• Music Reading 

And much more – please ask! 

I don't believe in the 'one size fits all' approach, as every student has their own unique interests and goals. I'm very patient andencouraging, and seek to make learning guitar a rewarding and enjoyable experience. I like to help students help themselves - establishing a strong technical foundation and good practice habits gives students the tools to go out and play the music they love.
