Private Lessons

Private Guitar and Bass tuition in person or via Skype.

Mark is a brilliant teacher. He quickly tailors his courses to suit the skills , needs and interests of his students. Mark has a comprehensive knowledge of playing styles and music theory and I have yet to find a topic or style of playing he has not been able to help me advance.

Mark is an outstanding bass guitar teacher, he tailors the lessons and learning to the student and has a fantastic way of getting concepts across. I would not hesitate in recommending Mark to any guitarist or bassist.

Brilliant guitar tutor, and master of a number of styles. Importantly, Mark loves guitar music so if you need help (and yes I do), this is the guy you need.

Mark has been my bass teacher for several years. (That's amazing to start with!!!) He customises lessons to what is needed to progress and finds music and styles that he knows I will like. He is excellent at explaining new concepts and has a massive amount of patience. I would totally recommend Mark to anyone wanting an enthusiastic, versatile teacher of bass and guitar.

Great guitar lessons tailored perfectly to exactly what you want to focus on. I have been a student for a number of years now and Mark has helped develop my playing ability and my knowledge of music theory and composition.

I've taken lessons from Mark every two weeks for the last nine years. He has taken me on a journey from being a camp fire guitarist to, for example, being able to play jazz standards, improvise over different genres of music using modes, construct extended chords, and harmonise scales.Of course, what this learning has also shown me is how much I have yet to learn! Mark provides a clear educational structure, with lessons carefully planned in advance, his own course handouts, bespoke backing tracks, and specific homework tasks.The limiting factor in my continued progression is the amount of time that I practice. I couldn't ask for anything more from a guitar teacher.
