Welcome!

I'm a classical guitarist in Havant, Hampshire, in Southern England.

I teach Classical Guitar at all standards from beginner upwards.

I compose & arrange - my music is played in Europe, Canada, the Americas, Australasia...

Come and explore my four websites...

I run a busy and well-equipped teaching studio in Bedhampton, Havant in SE Hampshire.

I teach all abilities and always welcome adult beginners. I have a structured syllabus and a patient and professional teaching style.

I founded the Farlington Guitar Workshop in 1998 - it's an informal ensemble for novice & intermediate adults.

We welcome new players! We meet on alternate Thursdays in term-time and we play 2 concerts a year for local charities.

I founded the Hampshire Guitar Orchestra in 1999, pioneering the Japanese approach to different sizes of guitar in the UK.
