FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before contacting me with your question, I may have the answer here.
If not you can use the form below to contact me.
What do I need to learn the guitar?
As well as a guitar, I recommend getting a guitar case, guitar tuner or tuner app on your phone and a few plectrums.. I suggest that you keep some spare strings just in case they break.
After a few lessons you will also need a capo. For information on what this is click here.
In order to get the most out of your lesson I suggest if possible to have your guitar tuned ready, that way you have a full lesson learning guitar instead of spending time tuning it.
If you request it I can send you a video and links to help you tune your guitar before we start.
What ages do you teach?
6 years and up. Any younger and a childs fingers are usually too small.
No one is ever too old to learn.

What is your cancellation policy?
I require at least 24 hours notice of cancellation. Cancellations within this time will be charged the full lesson fee. I do understand sometimes unforseen circumstances can accur so I will rearrange the lesson for another day – if you accept this, you will not lose the fee.
What size guitar should I get for my child?
For younger students I recommend a 3/4 size classical guitar with nylon strings. This is a better size for them to learn with and softer on their fingers while learning.
Do you travel to people’s homes to give lessons?
No, I don't teach from your home due to travel expences and travel time involved. My Virtual guitar lessons help keep the cost down as there is no extra charge for time and travel expences. These lessons are just as good as being in the same room because of the software and camera's I use.
Do I need short nails?
Yes. There’s no way around it, you’ll need to have short nails on your left hand (right hand, if you’re left-handed) to allow you to make good contact when holding down strings.
Do you teach total beginners?
Yes of course! No previous musical experience is needed to start lessons.
