Review 1:
I have been learning guitar with Gordon since late 2017 and am still enjoying playing and learning.
I started with Gordon shortly after I retired, I had played a bit since my late teens but never got past basic chords and strumming.
Under Gordon I can now read music, play lead and rhythm and am developing my finger picking skills. I play many different styles and genres and gain a great deal of pleasure from my efforts.
The things I really like about Gordon as a teacher are his people skills and his knowledge. Gordon can teach Guitar, Bass Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin and numerous other instruments. He is not limited to Rock or any one genre but equally capable at Blues, Jazz, Classical, Modern and many other styles.
Gordon teaches people from school age to adult and his patience and ability almost guarantee success. Gordon has a number of NDA students and I believe his sessions with them substantially improve their quality of life.
Working with Gordon is one of my favourite pastimes and I look forward to my lesson every week.

Thank you Gordon for your infinite patience in teaching the guitar to someone who left it late and is not magically gifted, to put it nicely. You however, are magically gifted, and went to great lengths to make me feel comfortable and enjoy playing and learning music.
Cheers,

I have been teaching for over 45 years and the biggest testament I can get is that students keep coming back! I continue to receive praise for fostering fun, structured personal lessons, and personalized learning environments that improve technique and music theory understanding regardless of the student's experience.
