Why take lessons with me

With over five years of teaching experience I am confident I can help a student achieve their musical goals. Whether they’re starting from scratch or want to refine their playing, I am here to help. Here’s why you should consider me as your music instructor

Playing Experience

Having played guitar for over 20 years, I have extensive experience with playing many genres of music including rock, R&B, blues, metal, and jazz. This experience lends itself to being able to accommodate most students playing questions. 

Having played other instruments piano, bass, drums, mandolin, and every kind of clarinet, I have extensive musical knowledge that translates through my teaching.

Educational Experience

With a Bachelor Degree in Music (with Distinction), I have accumulated skills that can help students go beyond just learning their instrument. I can help students with ear training, musical theory, songwriting, music production, music technology and more.

Real Life Experience

Having spent time on the road and in the studio with my band Darryl Saves Lives and having gone to university to study music I can help students who want to make music their career through real life insight and advice. This can take the shape of songwriting, music production, and planning out a release.

There is no one size fits all approach to lessons

Guitar/Music lessons need to be catered to match an individuals preferences in music, skill level and learning style. What works for one person may not work well with others. I pride myself in taking these factors into consideration when teaching students. I work with my students to determine what their goals are with the guitar and plan out how we will reach these goals together.
