Emer - Know your guitar teacher

Hi! I’m Emer, a passionate guitar tutor with over 15 years of experience. I’ve been playing since I was 7 and instantly fell in love with the instrument. Since then, I have completed all 8 classical guitar grades (with distinction) alongside teaching myself acoustic and fingerstyle guitar. I recently finished university and am excited to return to teaching. My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, focusing on technique, musicality, and confidence. I have found that these focuses keep students engaged and make my lessons as productive as possible. I specialize in classical, acoustic, fingerstyle, chord progressions, and ear training. Whatever your style, I’m confident we can explore it together. Let’s make playing guitar something you truly love!

Guitar lessons quick guide

My teaching approach is centred around support, prioritising flexibility and student-focused learning. I believe making mistakes is a vital part of learning, and I create a space where students feel comfortable to ask questions and grow. I incorporate ear training into lessons to help build a strong musical foundation—especially helpful when reading music becomes challenging. With a diverse background in classical and acoustic guitar, I draw from a wide range of techniques to support each student's goals. I'm familiar with classical syllabus and beginner techniques to get you started on your guitar journey. I am also fully equipped for remote learning via Zoom, Google Meet, and more. No matter your level, I’ll work with your schedule and help you feel proud of your progress every step of the way.

Emer Reid guided a learner from Parkholme through learning the chorus of a song on guitar, following a review of the verse and bridge. They practiced chord transitions and different plucking patterns. Emer will send chord boxes for practice, and the individual will work on the song for the next lesson.

A student, who attends Phoenix College, worked on finger placement, smooth transitions, and consistent strumming patterns during the lesson.

Emer Reid led Malika Sethi in a guitar lesson, delving into the verse and bridge of "Imagine". The focus was on mastering chord transitions, fingerpicking, and hammer-on techniques. Malika actively practiced specific chord progressions, benefiting from immediate feedback on her finger placement and resolving any muting issues. To support her continued progress on the instrument, Emer will provide Malika with chord charts and counting patterns, with plans to tackle the chorus and further refine these skills in their next meeting.
