About me

I have worked as a full time professional musician since 2001, and in 2002 was voted runner up in the ‘Guitarist of the Year’ competition run by Guitarist magazine. In that time, I have worked on a multitude of projects from independent artists to Grammy award winners and record companies, as well as on radio and TV themes and soundtracks, both here and in the US.

Since 2004 I have been working extensively in the music education sector, having taught one to one beginner guitarists, through to students at all ages and levels of music education, including degree and MMus at BIMM and London College Of Music, with many students now working professionally as teachers or performing in major touring acts/social media figures, forging their own path in music.

Teaching Style

I feel equally passionate about guiding students on their journey regardless of ability or goal, from budding hobbyist to professional. My main strength as a tutor is to be able to explain musical ideas, techniques and concepts in a clear and systematic way, allowing the student to see how to contextualise these into real music and how to be creative going forward.
