About Neil
I have been a guitar teacher for the last 26 years. Twenty-two of these years have been full-time, in schools for Surrey Arts. I have taught students from year three to sixth form, both individually and in small groups. Having had children myself, I find I can relate to young people and make learning the guitar enjoyable and fun. A large part of my time is spent preparing students for grade examinations and various performances for GCSE. One of my main aims is to convey a love of music and to cultivate a lifelong appreciation of the subject, as both a player and a listener. I still get a huge sense of achievement when I take a complete beginner and guide him or her through to become a competent performer and player.

My preferred teaching method is through a book called the Guitarist's Way. This introduces a student to good technique, reading traditional notation and provides a thorough knowledge of the 1st four frets on all 6 strings. After the second book, students have sufficient knowledge and skill to start working towards grade exams in guitar. Students read traditional notation and tab to learn songs and play along to a backing track.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I have been receiving classical guitar lessons from Neil for 3 years now - recommended to me by a neighbour. Neil has been patient with me and given me freedom to develop my guitar playing skills at my pace. I knew a few basic chords but classical was completely new to me. Learning for fun, not exams, I have grown in skill in identifying chord patterns, noting when I have made mistakes and developed skills up the fretboard. I have been able to play a range of music styles and have grown in my ability to read music. Neil has a good ear for recognising when fingering is right or wrong
I have known Neil for fifteen years and I was given his number by a local music store; he taught my daughter from age seven and helped her pass all of her guitar grades by age twelve and then a Diploma after that. He always gives praise and encouragement and sets targets at the right level to match abilities while always moving forwards. His patient style works well for students of all levels. I am having my own lessons with him now and would highly recommend him.
Neil is very flexible with timings, and always wants to get the best out of his students. He adjusts to the speed of which you would like to progress at, and also focuses on accuracy and detail along the way. Neil also recommends the best techniques for the grading examinations as he knows how to get the best results.
Neil has been my guitar teacher for a number of years providing me with one to one tuition. He is a very patient and attentive teacher and has provided me with the skill and confidence to enjoy playing guitar and progressing at my own pace. I am looking to take grade 8 guitar later this year. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
