About
Hi, I'm Michael.
I'm a professional guitar tutor and musician with years of teaching and live performance experience. My aim isn't simply to teach people how to play songs.
I want every student to become a confident musician who understands their instrument, enjoys playing and stays motivated for years to come.
Around 90% of new guitarists give up within their first year. My goal is to help change that through structured lessons, achievable goals and a genuine passion for music.
My mission
I am a professional music tutor offering personalised guitar lessons for students of all ages and experience levels. Vocal and songwriting tuition is led by active professional musicians. Whether you're picking up an instrument or starting your singing journey for the first time, looking to improve your technique, develop your creativity, or write your own music, every lesson is tailored around your individual goals, interests, and learning style.
My mission goes beyond simply teaching music — I believe music is best when shared and I am passionate about building a supportive and inspiring community of musicians. Music is a powerful way to express yourself, build confidence, and connect with others. Through every lesson, I aim to encourage creativity, enjoyment, and a lifelong passion for music.
From developing strong foundations and technical skills to exploring different genres, performance, and songwriting, my students gain the knowledge and confidence to continue growing as musicians. Whether you're learning an instrument, finding your voice, or creating your own songs, each lesson is designed to help you progress at your own pace.
I am passionate about keeping both new and experienced musicians motivated by providing structured lessons, personalised guidance, and a clear learning pathway with short-term and long-term goals. Every student receives a tailored approach based on their abilities, interests, and ambitions, helping them stay inspired and enjoy their musical journey.
Statistics show that up to 90% of new musicians quit within their first year of learning. I strive to change that statistic and I don't want anyone to miss out. That's why I provide high-quality, affordable music lessons and promote a positive student and tutor relationship, creating an environment that is both encouraging and empowering.

FAQ
I welcome students of all ages, from young beginners to adults. While every child develops at their own pace, I generally recommend starting guitar lessons from around 7 years old, when most children have the hand size, coordination and concentration needed to get the most from their lessons. If your child is younger and you feel they're ready to start, I encourage you to book a free trial lesson; this gives me the opportunity to meet them, assess whether they're ready for lessons, and recommend the best approach to help them begin their musical journey.
Community
As my teaching grows, I create opportunities for students to attend workshops, community events and performance nights designed to help musicians meet, learn and inspire one another.
Giving back
I am proud to support Music for All, a charity that helps make music accessible to everyone.
I promote their work through my live music events, donate 5% of every lesson fee to the charity, and run fundraising events where contributions from services and items purchased go straight to their cause.
