- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I can prepare students for exams in both performance and theory should they wish to take them.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
The key factor of learning to play an instrument is enjoyment, it should be fun! It is a skill that will stay with you all of your life, and in return for the practice, dedication and patience it takes to learn an instrument, the rewards will be endless. My years of teaching experience has shown me that everybody learns differently. Therefore I tailor my lessons to suit each individual student so that they will get out of it what they want, and have fun doing so!

Neil has been a great tutor for me. He has helped me in preparing pieces for my University auditions for which I was successful. I wanted to improve my jazz playing and theory before moving to University, and through some great teaching and practical application, Neil has considerably improved my confidence in performing in this musical idiom. Neil is a really nice, genuine guy, a trait reflected in his weekly lessons and with the fact that in his free time was willing to perform with me in a live event.
Neil is a patient and thoughtful teacher. He makes a point of finding pieces of music that appeal to our daughter and we are delighted with the progress she is making under his guidance.
Every time I heard a good guitarist I would promise myself to dust off my guitar and play again. This did not happen. I decided to engage a guitar teacher and to my delight, Neil came over to my house and inspired me to learn and play again. Neil's teaching skill and musical talent has given me a real appreciation of the guitar, my instrument will never gather dust again.
“We are delighted with Neil's electric guitar tutoring of our 12 year old son. Neil's approach is broad-based and comprehensive - covering a wide range of techniques from fingerpicking to rock/metal, music theory, and performance pieces versus improvisation/jamming. His tutoring style is flexible and adaptable to the specific preferences of our son, thereby retaining his interest and enthusiasm. Neil is a really nice chap – and that personality is key in making him an excellent tutor.”
Through Neil's tutoring, our son has managed to achieve his Grade 8 in Bass Guitar. Neil has expanded his musical listening as well as incorporating useful elements of theory, sight reading and improvisation, in a fun and practical context. He is continuing to do high level bass work as well as start work on doing an electric guitar grade
