As a mature pupil and brand new to the mandolin, I was honestly nervous about starting music lessons but am I pleased I have. Séamus quickly put me at ease and mapped out a lesson structure which I think works very well and is enjoyable as well as giving me things to aim towards. I find him to be patient with a wicked sense of humour and his musicality is great. All very necessary qualities in my music teacher! Here’s to travelling down many a mandolin road with him.

Séamus is a patient, dedicated, and professional music tutor as well as a talented musician. He brings a positive approach to every lesson, making them enjoyable, and adapts his teaching style to suit different learning preferences. He's skilled at breaking complex information into manageable steps and guiding you to learn something new. Over time, each element built naturally on the last, until everything began to fall into place like a puzzle - and suddenly, notes sounded clearer and melodies flowed more naturally. Although I’ve always had a passion for music, I never knew how to play, so I felt compelled to learn from an experienced tutor - and it has now become one of my favourite hobbies. Since having the lessons, I’ve gone from knowing nothing about guitar to feeling a real connection with the music I can now create. If you're thinking about taking lessons online or in person, go for it - I highly recommend Séamus' lessons.

Brilliant teacher and very patient. Takes into consideration what you want to do very well. Very enjoyable lessons.
