Dylan - Know your guitar teacher
I’m Dylan Sluiter, a Bachelor’s-educated guitar tutor with over 3 years of experience providing personalised guitar lessons. Over the past 3 years, I’ve taught a variety of instruments, including guitar, drums, piano and music theory, across many different musical styles. I currently teach students ranging from 8 to 25 years old, with a particular focus on teaching children and beginners. Helping new musicians develop their confidence, enjoy learning and build a strong foundation is my forte. My guitar lessons are tailored specifically to each student, taking into account their interests, goals and learning style. Whether you’re completely new to guitar and want to learn the basics, or you’re looking to learn your favourite songs and develop your playing, lessons are structured around what you want to achieve. I specialise in chords, chord progressions, rhythm, song learning and practical guitar skills, while also helping students develop their musical understanding and confidence. My aim is to make guitar lessons fun, engaging and personalised, creating a comfortable environment where beginners and young musicians can enjoy learning guitar and progress at their own pace.
