What Students Say
FAQ
Why should I choose a course over individual lessons?
They are extremely good value for money. Individual 1:1 sessions cost £46 per hour, whereas groups work out at just £12 per hour. Many people love the social element of learning in a group, and it can really boost your motivation to practice.
Do I need my own guitar?
Not for the Beginner Course - you can borrow one from us to practise at home, with the option to buy it at the end. For the Expansion Course you are expected to have your own instrument.
What is included in each course?
10 weekly group sessions, 90 minutes each. The maximum group size is 10 students. You will also get weekly handouts and videos to aid your home practice. For more detailed information on skills and repertoire for each course, click through to the course page.
How much experience do I need to book the Expansion Course?
If you're not sure, I would recommend booking a free trial lesson so I can assess your ability and help you pick. As a rough guide, Expansion Course students should have already have mastered 6-10 open chords, be able to read basic TAB and know the first minor pentatonic pattern.
Where and when do the courses take place?
St Leonard's Church Hall SW16 1RB, 7:30pm - 9:00pm. See each course page for which day each one will be taking place.
Are group courses suitable for children?
These courses are for adults or young people aged 15+. If your child is interested in learning guitar, I would recommend booking in a free consultation session.
