A Fresh Approach to 1-2-1 Guitar and Bass Tuition

It’s the small little tips that you cannot get from a book or YouTube i.e. ‘bend your finger like this’, ‘hold it like that’, that make a HUGE difference
— Ed, St Albans
I thought it would be extremely difficult to find a teacher that would be skilled and experienced at teaching the guitar to adult beginners and to do this with enthusiasm. I would not hesitate to recommend Toby. He is genuinely interested in my progress and goes above and beyond what I would expect from a weekly lesson.
— Trevor, Radlett
After a lesson with Toby I feel a sense of achievement, that I have made progress in understanding and that I am walking away with achievable practice targets that I can work on to progress my playing.
— Duncan, St Albans
Toby is very generous with his time and skills, always wanting to jam, he always have a big smile on his face, I always leave his lessons happy.
— Alex, Redbourn

Loved every session we have had so far. By the end of each session despite my doubts, Toby has got me to do something in that 40 minutes that has got me itching to come back and play.

Hi Toby

I just wanted to say how much Asher is enjoying lessons with you! He leaves your house absolutely buzzing and inspired to play more. He has rediscovered his love of the guitar and is already improving rapidly, so thank you. That is just what I wanted to find for him in a new teacher. Very glad he came to you! He would happily jam with you all evening….
