Testimonials

"Having taken lessons from Duncan for around 3 months now, I can already see a massive improvment in my playing. The actual lessons are always relaxed and very enjoyable, as Duncan has a very warm and friendly approach to teaching. However, the information he passes on is invaluable to any aspiring guitarist. I personally find that it is the the little things, like how to finger a scale properly or nail a musical phrase being the most helpful; as you probably wouldnt learn these things without a experienced professional to guide you. Highly recommended." Ben

"I have been having lessons from Duncan for around 8 months and i can clearly see a difference in my guitar playing. My knowledge of notes, scales, chords and techniques have been greatly improved with the help of his calm, informal approach to teching. It is clear that these lessons have also helped me conquer difficult peices which i would have struggled to learn by myself. I would thouroughly recommend duncan to anyone who is thinking of taking lessons, he is a great teacher and i have enjoyed my time with him hugely." Jamie

"I have been taking piano lessons from Duncan for nearly two years. Having always wanted to know something of music and the piano, I decided to try piano lessons. Duncan took on the challenge and has introduced me to playing the piano and has guided me through some many other aspects of music. I have enjoyed the lessons immensely as Duncan always manages the right mix of support, push, technique, practice, and music. I enjoy the lessons - he is a very good teacher who knows how to read his students." Maggie

"I have been taking guitar lessons from Duncan for almost two years. We usually cover a mix of music theory, discussions about technique, Jazz standards and chord theory and there will always be a healthy amount of playing/jamming in the lesson. I find time spent with Duncan to be less like a formal lesson and more like hanging out with a seasoned expert (which he most certainly is) who I want to learn as much as possible from. I would highly recommend any guitarist of any level taking lessons as there is always something you don't know about the instrument." Liam

"Have been getting guitar lessons from Duncan for a number of years and owe so much to him. At school I never thought I had any musical talent however after getting private lessons from Duncan I have found that I'm actually pretty good at guitar. Thanks!" April

To Duncan

Just to say thanks for the that you have done for me over the last few years. Your lessons have inspired me to keep up the guitar for all this time and continue in to Uni. I could not have got to where I am without your brilliant lessons and fun approach! I respect you hugely for your teaching and playing and hope I can come a visit you every now and then for a "jam" and show you what I am getting up to. Maybe do a gig sometime or something. Thanks again for everything - I will keep in touch!

Dear Duncan

A huge thanks from myself and Chris for the help and the super work you have put in with Tom. Meeting you has been a real blessing for Tom; you have inspired him and we are so thrilled that he is so dedicated to the guitar.

You are a great teacher and I hope that we can keep in touch. I also expect that Tom will try to see you often to play together.
