Elizabeth - Know your guitar teacher
I am a fully qualified Classical Guitar teacher with over thirty-two years of teaching experience. I provide personalized guitar lessons which include theory and practical training. I have taught all ages and levels, with most of my students starting from the age of nine. I will teach you how to read music and I will share the love of the Classical Guitar with you. I teach basic chord progressions, strumming techniques, scales and simple pieces suited to accompanying singing . All of my students have participated in Trinity or Associated Board of the Royal Schools Examinations with a 100% pass rate. I enjoy teaching individuals and groups and believe in the importance of developing a well rounded musician. I love playing duets with my students and believe that teaching and learning music should be enjoyable and fun for both teacher and student.
