Terms
Age
Students are taught from age 8 upwards. In my experience this
is the earliest age at which most students can manage the basics of
fretting notes on the guitar and maintain concentration for an
hour.

suitable instruments for beginning students.
Fees
- Lessons are charged at the competitive rate
of £20/hr. (Current
MU rate is £25.40 an hour.)
- Consecutive lessons after the first are block booked in courses
of 10 (£200 per course), paid in advance.
- Home teaching.
Lessons may be taught at the student's home on special request. The
base rate for this service is £35/hr. A surcharge may be
applied to cover travel costs. Please telephone to make
arrangements.
All tablature and other written practice and reference
materials are provided free of charge.
Times
Lessons may be booked on the hour, beginning 10am - 8pm, Monday -
Saturday.
Cancellations
- Cancellations or rescheduling of lessons must be by
telephone.
- Any cancellation (including that made due to illness) within
48hrs of the lesson will result in the lesson being forfeit unless
it can be rebooked for another time during the same week (Mon-Sat
period). This is to allow time to offer the slot to another
student.
- Please note that a student who fails to appear for his/her
lesson without notice for any
reason will have their lesson forfeit.
Punctuality
All students (or parents and guardians providing lifts to students)
are requested to be as punctual as possible as each lesson will
finish at the scheduled time. In the event of early arrival you may
be expected to wait.
