Guitar & English
Develop two skills at once.
Build your language ability and confidence while learning to play your favourite songs
With 30 years experience of playing, writing, recording and performing in bands, during my teaching career I have taught guitar and delivered music therapy sessions, as well as producing sound design and composition for contemporary dance performances, drama productions and social media content.
Why both?
There is a growing body of research that promotes the benefit of combining musical practice with learning a language.
Playing an instrument develops the brain's ability to process sounds and rhythm, improves memory through the retention of chords, notes and lyrics, and requires discipline and motivation to keep going. All of these skills support language learning.
What you will learn
I can teach you the foundations of guitar, from how to look after and maintain your instrument, to playing chords, melodies and entire songs
I cover useful playing techniques, warm up exercises and alternative ways to tune your instrument, as well as how to read and understand tablature. Depending on your musical goals and ability, we can work towards keys, scales and solos, or how to play in a variety of musical styles.
By teaching in English, I will help you to build your confidence in speaking and understanding the language in a fun and relaxed environment, while learning how to play your favourite songs.
Whether you play acoustic or electric, I can help
This course is for anyone who wishes to improve their English speaking and guitar playing

The level will be adapted to your ability and learning goals, and the musical content, songs and tunes will be chosen to suit your interests
