"Mike has great patience when

 

teaching especially with a novice such as myself"

 

"Mike always manages to set learning tasks that are just

 

 beyond the current skill level and then, when you get

 

 close to achieving it, he moves the task up a notch so

 

 that you are always on the learning path and not relaxing

 

 into the comfort zone of what you have already learned."

 

"Mike treats his pupils with respect no matter what

 

level they are or how difficult they may find some of

 

 the exercises". Mike covers a wide range

 

of skills from rhythms to chords and picking technique.

My son has only been having lessons for the last six

 

 months and already has quite a repertoire of music that he can

 

 play in various styles. The lessons are fun and interesting and

 

 he cannot wait to get home and practice what he has learned

 

 each week. Thank you Michael!

Kind regards

Yvonne

My daughter had been having tuition with another tutor and had

 

 lost her confidence due to a guitar grades exam failure.

 

Following approximately nine months of tuition with Mike she

 

 has grown in skill and confidence and has passed the next grade

 

 up on her previous exam failure, only this time with distinction!

Thank you Mike.

I am so pleased with the progress of my lessons that my son and

 

 his girlfriend are now also taking lessons from Mike. He makes

 

 the lessons fun yet structured. The biggest problem for me was

 

 keeping time. Mike has helped me to overcome this and my

 

 playing has improved dramatically over the months.

Thanks Mike.

Michael is a very experienced guitarist, who is able to teach 

many styles, such as rock, jazz, blues, as I have witnessed in my

 seven or so months of tutorials.

 

Michael's style is to work on asong,

whilst also including theory (on chords and scales) which is 

helping me not only play the guitar but to also understand how

 sounds are made. The lessons are fun, and I feel that I have 

improved a lot since  beginning the lessons, learning to play lead 

guitar and improving my rhythm.

I would recommend Michael to all levels of guitarists looking to 

improve due to his experience and teaching style.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the

 enthusiasm and patience you show in Tom’s lessons. I am sure

 the relaxed atmosphere and your choice of music are key

 factors in holding Tom’s attention. I would definitely recommend 

your tutiton to anyone wishing to learn themselves or with a 

child who wishes to learn to play the guitar.

Thank you.
