Tony has been teaching electric guitar to our son for around 18 months. We have been amazed by how quickly he has progressed. Tony has a great approach and easily keeps his students engaged, even with the music theory side of things. We chose to follow Tony’s own curriculum initially, which was great fun, and we have since moved on to the official rock school grading system which Tony is very well versed in and was able to guide our son through his first grading with ease. Tony has happily provided music sheets for any songs requested by our son, even with some of them being quite niche! He also encourages his students to perform by putting on a student showcase, which I think is great for building confidence. We have also been impressed with how organised Tony is, he is very professional and is always well prepared for each lesson. One final thing to mention is the guitar service Tony offers which is great value and he does an excellent job restringing and polishing up your guitar. Highly recommended!

I have been taking lessons with Tony for 3 months. During this time I have made good progress. The structured lesson plans really suit me and his style of teaching is both informative and fun. The ‘homework’ supports my lessons, gives me direction and supports my progress. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony’s Tuition to other students.

It’s been a really great experience learning to play the guitar with Tony. I was really nervous at the beginning, but Tony’s love of guitars and teaching soon made that pass, and every lesson has been a real pleasure. The pace is just right – steady enough not to feel pressure, but fast enough to make you feel like you’re always making progress!
Thanks Tony!

My daughter is really enjoying her guitar lessons. The lesson structure is great, and everything is explained well. Tony is very patient, and the lessons are set at a good pace. There is no pressure to sit exams and the student can pick some of their own music choices to play.
I would recommend Tony to anyone at any age to learn to play.

Josh started his guitar lessons with Tony’s Tuition around a year ago. Tony is a fun and friendly guy with lots of patience.
Josh thoroughly enjoys and looks forward to his guitar lesson every week and feels he has learnt a lot. Tony runs a showcase event each year which Josh has now entered for the second time, the showcase is fun and gives the students an opportunity to perform a song of their choice and shows what they have learnt so far.
We look forward to progressing even more and are soon going to move on to grades.

It has been a great experience learning to play guitar with Tony. He explains things so well and is very patient. As a recently retired person it has been heartening to find someone who has empathy across a wide range of ages and with someone like myself who does not have a natural musical talent.

Tony teaches my 7 year old son and I am super impressed with the progress he has made so far! Tony is patient, lets my son choose music that is of interest to him, and Tony’s teaching structure recognizes student progress with certificates that positively encourage my son to keep practicing. Highly recommended!

Tony is a brilliant teacher. Patient, explains things very well in simple, easy to understand ways. He goes to a lot of trouble to make your lessons structured and enjoyable and gets you on your way from the start.

Personalized lessons and structure, all about fun learning rather than strict education. Teaches more about the actual use and mechanics of the guitar rather than just parroting songs, leading to students being able to learn any song they want or make their own much quicker and in their own time. Will happily help out and base things around your own learning abilities as slow or as fast as you go.

Tony is an excellent teacher and has helped in bringing my daughter out of her shell by working closely with her and making her feel comfortable whilst he’s teaching. I would definitely recommend him to other people wishing to learn the guitar.

A year ago I decided to learn how to play the guitar, a big decision for someone in their sixties who has never played a guitar before. A friend recommended Tony’s Tuition, so off I went. Tony has been very patient with me and I am very happy with the progress I have made so far. He is very encouraging during lessons, has some very good lesson plans that suit my needs and ability, and is very enthusiastic with the lesson content. He is very knowledgeable in his chosen profession, and is a very competent guitar player and teacher. I look forward to practicing my guitars, which I manage to do five or six times a week, and always look forward to my lessons. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony’s Tuition to any aspiring guitar player.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tony’s Tuition to anyone. He makes the lessons enjoyable as he takes in to account what types and styles of music you like and enjoy.
Tony is always as flexible as possible if we have to change a lesson. Tony’s tuition has provided my son with valuable confidence building and he never feels rushed to learn the next thing. The learning goes at a pace he is comfortable with.

I would recommend Tony to anyone who wants to learn the guitar.
Tony has made Nate feel so comfortable. He has not pushed him too hard, but got him to learn a Nate’s own speed. Nate has learned such a lot and Tony has given Nate more confidence in himself than he has ever had before.

Lessons are well structured and written material is provided to take home and remind me of what I have learned. Tony is patient, encouraging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. As a result I feel my ability has improved (from a standing start!) and more importantly I can’t wait to pick up my guitar and play it almost every day. I would recommend Tony, without hesitation, as a tutor.

Tony has been teaching my 12 and 7 year old together for about 6 months. They both are doing very well and can play many tunes already. The lessons are well structured, fun and sometimes quite noisy! The children love it! They learn new ideas every week and are set practice material. They are given opportunities to choose current chart material to learn and golden oldies too! Certificates of achievement are issued when they reach standards set. Tony’s home where the lessons are held is comfy and friendly.
I have no hesitation recommending Tony to anyone embarking on their journey to play the guitar 🙂

Tony is a good, honest and supportive tutor. He pushes you when he knows that you can do it and supports you when you are finding things hard. His lesson structure is very clear, as is the progression route. He has a very ‘student friendly’ approach. He is knowledgeable and answers any questions well. He is also helpful with questions and you don’t feel silly asking them. He knows his subject well and keeps personally practicing which is good.
In short, I would highly recommend him. It’s just sad that he does not teach piano too!
You will be taught well.

I have just completed my Level 1 with Tony and have to say to how much I have enjoyed it. I am a complete novice and just decided that learning a guitar is something I wanted to try. Tony is extremely patient and explains everything very simply and in such a short space of time progress is slowly being made. I look forward to learning more on level 2. Highly recommend.

My Grandson wanted to learn to play the guitar. I contacted Tony to come each week to teach him. In the time he has been having lessons I am amazed at how far and fast he has progressed.

Tony has been giving my 10 year old daughter lessons for 6 weeks now. She’s gone from a complete beginner who didn’t have a clue how to play a guitar to being able to play Justin Bieber’s, ‘Love Yourself’. She’s learnt a few riffs, chords and is even reading music sheets. Tony makes us both feel really comfortable, he has the patience of a saint and his lessons are fun. I’d highly reccommend him. Thanks Tony!

Tony is a very good guitarist. He also has a good talent for teaching. The ‘terms’ are well structured, as are the lessons. I enjoy them as the structure is giving clear progression in guitar technique incorporating each players’ music genre. The theory comes at a comfortable, measured pace. Tony instructs clearly and offers targeted help tailored to the individuals’ abilities. His assessments are fair and don’t depend on perfect playing as that comes with plenty of practice. You can see your achievements grow. He always gives friendly help and makes the lessons very enjoyable. The time just shoots by. He endeavors that each pupil achieves a personal goal at each lesson. I can recommend this course and tutor to any budding guitarist.

Having had Tony as a guitar instructor now for 4 months, I can honestly say how much I am enjoying them. Tony is very skilled in his teaching and is very helpful with any problems that are encountered and shows patience and his instructions are easy to follow. If there’s anything that you struggle with he has the time to show you the best way in theory and practice. Top man!

Tony, you have helped me a great deal and have the patience of a saint when you come to see how I’m doing in each lesson.
I work awkward shifts that sometimes limit the amount of practice I wish to take on, but I do get there eventually and it clearly shows! The encouragement and effort pushed me to get through the songs and mini tests. See you next year!

Tony is very friendly and very helpful. I would recommend lessons to everyone whether a beginner or more advanced player. You will learn something new in every session.

Tony is very knowledgeable and helpful in lessons. I must say I even find myself eagerly listening to the theory side of things even though I’ve never picked up a guitar in my life. He makes students feel very relaxed and gives them confidence in the classes to try out new things. Definitely the right guy for the job!

I was one of those people who ‘had’ a guitar for years and always meant to learn, but simply hadn’t got around to it. Tony was wonderful, really patient and thorough, taking the time it took to fully explain and show me as many times as it took. Part of the process included working out (with me) what it was I really wanted to learn (was it just to play songs? Learning the instrument formally? Finger picking Spanish style?), which really impressed me. I thoroughly enjoyed every session. By no means do I claim to be able to play the guitar yet but I intend to keep learning until I can! Thanks again Tony, it’s a real privilege learning with you.
