Teacher of Classical Guitar, Contemporary Nylon String Guitar, Theory & Composition

About Me…

I began studying the piano at age 7 but was quickly drawn to the evocative sounds of the guitar. This led me to change instruments at 10 and undertake a lifelong study of the guitar. My relationship with the guitar blossomed into a life long career as a player, teacher, performer, composer and perpetual student of the instrument.

My early guitar career began with performing in rock bands however, I soon became absorbed with the subtle sounds of classical, jazz and Latin American music. This led to me to a formal music education graduating with a Teachers Licentiate (Distinction) in Guitar from Trinity College of London.

During more than 30 years of teaching all ages and levels, my professional appointments have included universities, performing arts schools and conservatories, as well as adjudicating guitar competitions.

I would welcome your enquiry so please feel free to call me to discuss your own personal musical dreams!

“Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest, for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart"
