My teaching background
Early in my teaching career, I helped to set up and run Brentwood Guitar Studio before moving to Colchester. I have taught music at the University of Essex as well as teaching privately.
My private students have included Paul Allender, of The Blood Divine and later Cradle of Filth, alongside many guitarists starting from the beginning.
Music that matters to you
I specialise in rock, classical and folk guitar. Classical grades through the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) are available if you want to work towards exams. They are optional: you can also learn purely for enjoyment. I can also offer bass guitar tuition.
“Megan really enjoys her lessons and is always ready to play to me when I see her, and she loves that you are so calm which helps her so much. Thank you so much you have given more confidence in herself.”

Lessons at your home
I am a mobile guitar teacher and travel to students’ homes in Colchester and nearby areas. Send your area or postcode when enquiring so we can confirm whether I can reach you and agree a suitable time.
Individual guitar lessons last 60 minutes and cost £30. Lessons are pay as you go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you, subject to availability.
Parents are welcome to discuss lesson arrangements and ask about my current DBS documentation before booking.
My teaching approach
One-to-one lessons give us time to work on your own needs. We can explore a song you enjoy, improve technique or make sense of a difficult rhythm. I provide music in notation and/or tablature and help you understand how to use it.
Regular practice helps you build on each lesson. We can agree manageable work that suits your experience and the time you have.
