Playing music is good for you, thats a given. No matter what age you are or what level you are at in your learning, music has the power to motivate you. These courses are here to facilitate that.
"Since starting my lessons I have found Chris to be a personable, patient, quietly enthusiastic tutor which, coupled with his huge musical knowledge, has meant that my playing has improved significantly. Now, even that which looks to be a tough task is thoroughly enjoyable, and certainly rewarding."

Guitar
Possibly the most versatile instrument in the world. The guitar can be equally at home playing Blues as it can be playing Rock, Jazz, Folk or anything else you might care to dream of.
Mandolin
An underrated instument in my opinion, usually known by most as an American Bluegrass instrument or in a British/Irish Folk setting, it can easily turn its hand to blues, rock and country.
Banjo
This has become increasingly popular in recent years, the banjo (despite the many jokes) will always make you smile. It can be frantic and energised or dark and mellow.
