FAQ
What
times do you teach?
Lessons can be anytime between 9am and 9pm, Monday to Saturday (at
present I do not teach on a Sunday)
Where do you teach?
I teach from my house which is about a two min walk from the high
street. There is a map for you to look at on my website.
What levels of guitar playing do you teach?
I teach all levels of guitar players including complete beginners.
What can I expect from a lesson?
Part of my job is to work with you to find the best way forward for you
as a guitar player. I will explain the lesson to you in clear terms and
at your pace. If you don't understand something then feel happy to have
me explain it to you until you do understand. There will be written
notes for you to take home to remind you of the lesson. Of course it is
important that you have fun too!
If there is a piece of music that I want to play will you be
able to help me?
Yes. From strumming chords to playing solos an important part of
learning to play guitar comes from being able to play other peoples
music.
I have never played a guitar before - what will you help me
with?
I will help you through the basics of guitar playing and present you
with the information and guidance you need to play. I can also offer
advice on how to buy a guitar.
Will I be paying you to play guitar?
No. At points I may need to play to demonstrate a piece or technique
that you need to learn or I may play a short piece to inspire you, but
you are hiring a teacher and not a performer.
Do I need to read music in order to learn?
It may come as a surprise to you but most guitar players, including the
famous ones (even the great Jimi Hendrix), do not know how to read
music!
Can anyone of any age learn?
Yes, although as a guide I would suggest that my lessons are appropriate
for anyone of least 7 years of age. There is a myth that you can only
learn an instrument if you are young - this is not true! It does not
matter how old you are when you start to learn.
Will you teach at my house?
I do not drive although I aim to soon. For now I only teach from my home
although I could come to you if you are in walking distance from
Gorleston High Street. However If I come to you there will be an extra
charge from 10%
Can I cancel a lesson once it is booked?
Yes, although if the cancellation is within 24 hours then I will still
charge you as I have had to keep the lesson appointment open for you and
it is unlikely that I will be able to fill that time with another
pupil.
In the unlikely event that I cancel a lesson I will aim to give you at
least 24 hours notice.
If you have any further questions then please feel free to email or
phone me.
