About Me
I am an experienced guitar player with a passion for music and teaching musicians of all ages. Over the past several years I have organised and been included in a number of live performances and recording projects. I think that the guitar is one of the most expressive and fun instruments to play and I would encourage anyone to start learning or improve their skill.

Testimonials
Excellent guitar tuition at a reasonable price
Piers has been fantastic at helping me to make the next step with my guitar playing. I love his enthusiasm and understanding of music and he encourages me to try things out that I would normally shy away from. I would highly recommend Piers if you want a calm patient guitar teacher!
-Ben Ford
From lesson one I felt completely relaxed and comfortable
Piers’s manner with me when teaching is excellent. He always makes time to listen and has great patience when teaching. He structures lessons well and is flexible to change depending on how I progress. When I watch Piers play the guitar, when demonstrating, it keeps me so inspired to learn more and more. I always look forward to my lessons. They are good fun, and I know Piers will make sure I keep on track after the lesson by sending lesson plans to assist my practising. It’s these little touches that make Piers my top choice!

What a great tutor Piers is. I Have been trying to learn for 2 years now and in my mind failed so I went to Piers for help. He is so understanding and tailors the needs of the individual well.
