Louis is comfortable teaching guitar, ukulele, oud and a range of musical lessons; from absolute beginners to advanced students or postgraduates. He is happy to prepare students for graded exams, other music exams, auditions, competitions and general performance.

He strongly believes in the student voice and teaching music practically, but also incorporates theory if the student chooses. Depending on the interests of the learner, Louis has a range of accessible materials when it comes to music notation and theory. His Masters degree in composition and industry experience mean that songwriting and composing are also popular choices, while his knowledge of Arabic music offers unique pathways for learning world music traditions.
