TIMETABLE
Lessons are flexible to the student. If you need the same day each week or need to change it up, it's no problem! We can work out a timetable that fits around you and your busy lifestyle.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Lessons are taught online, so you will need the basic set up of either a laptop, or tablet with a camera. You may also want to have either headphones or speakers to make it easier to hear (but that isn’t essential).
You will also need you own guitar (electric or acoustic) and a plectrum. You may also need a capo and a clip-on tuner, but we can discuss these after the first lesson.
That’s it! It’s that simple. Get in touch via the form below and we will get in touch with you.
