Jazz Guitar Lessons in London

 

Do you want to deepen your knowledge of jazz and improvisation on the guitar?

Wondering what to practice?

Do you want someone to explain it SIMPLY?

GREAT! You’re in the right place.

Here’s why I might be a good fit for you:

First of all – I LOVE teaching and helping you get to where you want to be. My focus is on YOU.

I’m a professor at The Royal Academy of Music, The Guildhall School of Music and Drama & Trinity College of Music – three of the strongest places to study jazz in Europe. I’ve taught music professionally for over 20 years.

I’ve taught for Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Royal Northern College of Music, Jamey Aebersold, Tech Music School, BIMM, Live Music Now, The Purcell School, London College of Music, Middlesex University and many other UK conservatoires. I’ve directed group workshops on improvisation, performance and composition, and have given many guitar-specific workshops as well. I wrote a monthly tuition column in Guitarist Magazine for three years, and I run ElectricCampfire.com – my online tuition site that has a thriving community of jazz & improvisation students.

I studied with Mike Walker, Steve Berry, Peter Bocking and briefly studied classical guitar with Fiona Harrison. I have a Masters Degree from Thames Valley University and a Fellowship of the London College of Music Recital Diploma.

I’m very active performing and recording, really enjoy being thrown into new and challenging situations. I like figuring out how I can make the band sound good. Click here for a little run down on some of the music I’ve been involved with.
