10 Week Beginner's Course FAQ
Why should I choose this over individual lessons?
It's extremely good value for money. Individual 1:1 sessions cost £46 per hour, whereas this works out at just £16 per 90 minute session! Many people love the social element of learning in a group, and it can really boost your motivation to practice.
What do I need to bring?
Nothing! You can bring your own guitar if you like, or borrow one from us to practise at home for the duration of the course. If you want to keep it, you can buy it for just £60 at the end.
What do I get for my £160?
10 weekly group sessions, 90 minutes each. The group will have no more than 10 people - so book quickly! You will also get weekly practise sheets and videos to keep track at home.
Who’s teaching?
Me! I’ve been teaching guitar in Streatham since 2016. You can read reviews from my students and more about my approach to teaching further down this page.
Where and when is it?
St Leonard's Church Hall SW16 1RB, Tuesday evenings from September 23rd, 7:30pm - 9:00pm.
Is it suitable for children?
This course is for adults or young people aged 16+. If your child is interested in learning guitar, I would recommend booking in a free consultation session.

The group format works particularly well. By playing together under supervision, we have significantly improved our timing and it gives us time to practice different areas without slowing the overall pace of the lesson.

Individual 1:1 Lesson FAQ
Why should I get lessons when there's so much great material online?
There is so much great material online! The internet can be a wonderful resource, but playing without expert guidance often leaves learners feeling overwhelmed and directionless. Think about it like the difference between Googling your symptoms and seeing a doctor. As your 'guitar doctor', I can immediately understand your goals, see what is holding you back and give you an action plan.
What type of guitar do I need?
I teach acoustic, electric and classical guitar - so whatever guitar you have, and whatever style you want to play, I can cater to your individual needs.
What do I get besides the lessons themselves?
I print off any sheet music or reference material you may need, and you get access to all of my backing tracks, posters and documents online through a shared Google Drive.
What if I forget what I'm supposed to be practising between lessons?
I will take a short video at the end of each session summarising what we covered, and demonstrating exactly what you need to practise that week.
The mini videos at the end of the lesson are very helpful to enable practice and consolidate the concepts imparted in the lesson.
- Lusius
What length are the lessons?
I do lessons for 30 minutes (£23), 45 minutes (£33.50) and 60 minutes (£46). For complete beginners 30 minutes is usually enough, but if you're at intermediate or advanced level then I would suggest 45-60 minutes. You can always start with 45, then scale up or down from there.
Do you prepare students for graded exams?
Yes! While many students want to just play for pleasure, I also enter students into exams for Trinity Classical Guitar and Rock School exams.
Do you teach improvisation or theory?
Yes! In fact, I think it is of utmost importance to integrate improvisation and theory into your learning journey, making you a rounded musician who understands the musical structures they're using - not just a human jukebox!
