What you can expect as a JP student

Let me tell you a little about what separates me from the rest of the teachers out there. You can be sure you are learning from one of the best.

Songs, without the dance.

Progress is progress.

Because you are considered every step of the way, your lessons are specifically designed with you, and your goals in mind. All in all, your lessons will accommodate your learning style, pace of learning and needs. You will benefit from the experience of a teacher vastly skilled in delivering lessons to a wide spectrum of ages and learning styles, including learners with specific, or additional learning needs.

Timelessly relevant.

As well as exploring a bespoke curriculum with the 21st century learner in mind, we’ll take a look at artists and genres that have influenced, and will continue to influence the next generation of popular musicians. Your time in our lesson will be precious, because it is all about you.

Times change, that change times.

I keep myself up to date with the latest trends, pedagogical concepts and approaches so you can be sure that you are receive cutting edge and innovative mentoring towards your goals, each and every session.

Transcription, not fiction.

Are you tired of finding unreliable, impossible to play tabs on the internet that make you feel like you are rubbish at playing guitar? Throughout your lessons, you will have access to hundreds of original transcriptions, made with brilliant accuracy, so you can learn to play music just like your idols.

Resources, for courses.

Bespoke, original and personalised resources are on hand for each lesson, created using the most modern software available. I provide resources in a number of formats so your learning is fully supported.

Theoretically speaking.

Intrigued about how the guitar fretboard works to help you solo more skilfully? Want to advance your music theory knowledge so you can write better songs? Feel like you want to advance your technique in order to shred your favourite solo? You are in the right place.

Experience experienced.

Your lessons are guided and informed by years of live playing and teaching experience, a First Class (1:1) Degree in Popular Music and Recording from the University of Salford, an RSL Grade 8 Distinction award on guitar, a PGCE in Secondary Music Education from MMU/RNCM, and a thirst for CPD and learning. You can rest assured that you’ll be in the know.

Your future is safe in my hands, literally.

Because I’m fully DBS checked and my certificate is renewed every year, you can have complete peace of mind.
