I honestly cannot recommend Gareth highly enough! When my son first started lessons, I was a little sceptical about how well online guitar lessons would work, but it was the only way we could fit them into his schedule at the time. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong! I have been absolutely blown away by the progress my son has made since starting lessons with Gareth. He is an exceptional teacher who knows the exam curriculum inside out and has a fantastic ability to guide my son towards achieving his goals, building his skills and confidence along the way. The online format has been absolutely no barrier to his progress, and I am so glad we gave it a go. Gareth's knowledge, encouragement and dedication really do shine through, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. If I could give Gareth 1,000 stars, I absolutely would!

5/5 stars is not enough for Gareth! Since starting to teach my son Max (age 9) the drums 6 months ago, Max has gotten so much enjoyment from playing and progressed to working towards his grade 2 already! (He was a complete beginner when staring weekly lessons with Gareth). Gareth’s in-depth experience both musically, as a teacher and examiner culminate in his expert approach to teaching. He’s full of encouragement, and enables Max to do his absolute best. We’re so glad we found Gareth, highly recommend!

Nik is really enjoying his music lessons. Gareth is an inspiring teacher, and has built Nik's confidence. Playing an instrument is something Nik has planned for a long time but not taken the plunge. Gareth has enabled him to dive in.

I can’t recommend Gareth highly enough as a guitar teacher. Since working with him, my playing has improved significantly—not just technically, but musically. He has a real talent for breaking down core concepts like modes and showing how they apply across rhythm, lead, and overall musical understanding in a way that actually sticks. Gareth is incredibly patient and communicates ideas clearly, which makes even more complex topics feel approachable and enjoyable. Lessons are always engaging and tailored, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his students’ progress. What really speaks volumes is that I now trust him to teach my 6-year-old daughter as well. He adapts effortlessly to different ages and skill levels, making learning fun while still building strong foundations. If you’re serious about improving as a guitarist—no matter your level—Gareth is an outstanding choice.

Gareth is a fantastic teacher, and we couldn’t be happier with the progress our child has made. My child has been doing online guitar lessons with Gareth for around two years and has gone from having no grades to achieving Grade 6 with a distinction. The lessons are well structured, supportive and encouraging. Gareth has also been incredibly helpful with her GCSE composition work and practice questions for GCSE exam. We are finding online lessons to be better than in person classses. They open up far more choices and much easier to fit in. We’ve been so pleased with the experience that our younger child has now started lessons with him as well.

Gareth never fails to inspire. After only a few ukulele lessons, online, I feel I am progressing very well. He has a very positive attitude to each lesson, and infinite patience, no matter how bad I think I am! I had face to face ukulele lessons for a couple of years, but I have learnt more with Gareth in two months! Online is so easy, and equally as good as face to face - no time wasted, or costs involved travelling. Working on Grade 2 now.

I would like to thank Gareth for his efforts in teaching me the guitar over the last 15 months or so. I have certainly progressed in my playing style from being a very chord-based player, to thinking more around melodies and playing the tune. By introducing me to modes, I am hopeful I can progress to having the ability to improvise around the tune in a Jazzier style of playing. Gareth has certainly given me the foundations to progress this further. I like Gareth's laid-back supportive style to encourage my playing as well as giving me tips and examples on how to further improve my guitar playing. I would certainly recommend Gareth to anyone who want to progress their guitar playing, whether they be new to it or have been playing for a few years before, like me.

Gareth has been working with my daughter (year 11) with the composition element of her music GCSE for the last few months. He has been absolutely brilliant! His sessions were fun and engaging and he has helped my daughter immeasurably. Her confidence with the subject has improved no end . Thank you so much Gareth for your help, support and patience. I honestly cannot recommend Gareth highly enough.

Gareth is an incredible teacher with a huge amount of patience and friendly attitude. He's very encouraging and supportive and makes learning the guitar (or the multitude of instruments in his repertoire) as easy as can be and is more than happy to tailor the lessons to whatever your goal is. I cannot recommend Gareth enough.

As a mature student I can't have been the easiest person to teach but Gareth has always been very supportive and encouraging throughout our lessons. I have found the structure of his teaching exactly matched my aspiration to play rock style music. He has definitely inspired me to continue my journey.

Gareth is an excellent teacher. I am an adult learner who was looking for guidance to take me beyond the rut I was in. In a couple of months Gareth has helped me learn the fretboard (finally), opened up my Rythym playing across the major, minor and 3 types of 7th chords, and we are now a couple of lessons into learning modes and lead guitar playing. He is enthusiastic, very organised and has a very good way of teaching new concepts. Great fun and highly recommended!

Gareth is an absolutely superb teacher, and I would unhesitatingly really recommend him to anyone. I'm an adult player who has picked up and left behind the guitar more times than I can count. I've bought books, taken guitar lessons, enrolled in classes, and even tried guitar software. Each time, I found myself getting stuck or unmotivated, even though I love music and really enjoy playing. In just three lessons, I feel like I have a sense of direction and a newfound motivation to practice and learn. Gareth very quickly assessed exactly where I am and now delivers precisely tailored lessons that are digestible, very fun and efficient. Of course he is an amazing player (like every other one of my prior instructors), but the difference is that Gareth is an expert at actual TEACHING. His explanations are crystal clear, funny and memorable, and his lessons build in a logical way. Extremely glad I found him, and looking forward to the next lesson.

Our daughter has been learning drums with Gareth for a few lessons now. He's very professional and knows how to deal with young children. He's encouraging but has high expectations of his students. Our daughter loves her lessons with Gareth and she's making good progress already. We can see us stay with Gareth for her future drum lessons.

Gareth is a fantastic teacher, not only does he have outstanding knowledge and practical skills, his ability to teach is second to none. He uses easy to remember learning techniques that make remembering things so easy. His knowledge of exam boards and requirements to excel really gave me confidence when approaching any exam. He’s patient and friendly with a passion for music that’s infectious. Gareth helped me achieve guitar grade 8 from total beginner in approx 2 years.
