Building confidenceBuilding confidence
Our goal is to help children grow in confidence, discipline and a love for music that lasts a lifetime.Confidence, focus and joy.
Our aim is to offer the highest guitar instruction available in London and the United Kingdom, and to make the lessons themselves the kind a teenager remembers.
Adolescence asks to be handled with care. Our guitar teachers have considerable experience with teenagers and young adults, and know how to teach them in a way that works.
They teach to your child’s current ability and to what your child actually wants, and they make sure every part of guitar playing gets its share of the work rather than the easy parts getting all of it.
Over their lessons your child will learn to pick quickly and accurately, build a strong left hand, produce a real vibrato, improvise, form chords cleanly, strum and play in time — and, in the end, find their own sound and style.
Whatever they arrive with — classical, acoustic, electric or jazz — we teach around it, and the technique and theory that let them play it properly come with it.

Common questions
Where are the guitar lessons held?
In Fitzrovia, W1 — a few minutes from Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street — and in studios across Central London.
Who are the teachers?
Experienced performers and teachers who have studied under some of Europe’s finest musicians, and who specialise in teaching children rather than adults.
How are the lessons structured?
Weekly, on a set day and time. Each lesson builds technique, musical expression and confidence together rather than drilling one at the expense of the others, and the balance is matched to your child rather than to a fixed syllabus.
How long is each guitar lesson?
Lessons are 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Shorter lessons usually suit younger beginners; longer lessons suit children who are progressing towards more demanding repertoire.
When can my child start?
At any point in the year. Lessons are weekly on a set day and time, and are paid monthly.
Does my child need to have played before?
No. Complete beginners are welcome, and lessons are tailored to the level your child is starting from.
What if my child is not especially talented?
Then they are like almost every child who starts. Talent is not the entry requirement — attention is, and a good teacher builds that. Children are never judged or criticised here, and progress is measured against where your child began rather than against anybody else.
What is the minimum commitment?
Two months. Lessons are paid monthly, and notice of four teaching weeks can be given from the end of the first month — so the shortest possible commitment is two months.
Do we need a guitar at home?
Yes. Your child needs an instrument to practise on between lessons, and having a good one from the first week makes a real difference to how much they enjoy it. If you are not sure what to buy, ask us and we will recommend something.
Can my child take ABRSM or Trinity exams?
Yes, and they are optional. Grades give a course structure and something to aim at, and the certificate at the end is worth more to a child than adults tend to expect.
How much should my child practise?
Fifteen minutes a day is plenty to begin with, rising as they get older and more able. Daily and short beats weekly and long.
Can I sit in on the lesson?
Yes. It helps you understand what the teacher is asking for, which makes practice at home easier. If your child concentrates better alone with the teacher, that is worth respecting too.
Do you offer a discount for siblings?
No. Our teachers are paid for their expertise and their time, and a sibling lesson takes as much of both as any other.

A child who learns the guitar develops three gifts for life:
a trained ear, the discipline to master something difficult,
and the ability to express what words cannot.
These are gifts that remain long after childhood.
