Guitar lessons in Glasgow
Guitar Lessons in Glasgow for Beginners and Experienced Players
With over ten years of experience teaching students of all ages, I have discovered that an individually tailored lesson approach works best. I strive to understand what excites you about music, and we build from there. Since the same teaching method doesn’t work for everyone, our first lesson is dedicated to discovering what approach suits you.
Beginners Welcome
No previous musical experience is required. Lessons are tailored to your current level and progress at a pace that suits you.

Typical Lesson Outline
20 minutes: Technical exercises/warm up – Scales, Arpeggios and how they relate to chord shapes
20 minutes: General musicianship – notation and/or chord reading, transcription, improvisation, aural skills
20 minutes: Repertoire – learning pieces that you or I have chosen. I often use this as a vehicle for general musicianship skills and we may spend a whole 40 minutes on a chosen piece.
