Bernard McLaughlin

I teach pupils via Zoom from all over the world, so location and timezone is not a barrier. I have an Masters Degree and am a qualified Music Teaching. 

I have over 30yrs experience teaching music and the guitar and can help you whatever your current level. Beginners are always welcome and I specialise in teaching adult beginners who either started and stalled or having been putting off learning.....stop stalling and start playing:) 

Musical Styles include: Folk, Rock, Pop,  Blues, Reggae, Punk, Improvisation, Songwriting and more...

Beginners...stop stalling, stop scrolling and start playing songs:

** Round the Campfire Course **   - Like the idea of just picking up the guitar and playing through some songs (campfire optional...but you get the image)? Almost all of my pupils, regardless of what direction they want to take their guitar journey, will learn the skills required to pick up a buskers songbook and play some campfire classics.

** Beginner Electric/Acoustic/Classical Guitar ** -  whether you want to prepare for guitar exams (all syllabuses and grades covered) or just learn the styles and songs of your favorite guitarists I can help. If you are a complete beginner, just starting your musical journey on the guitar you will find me a patient, understanding teacher and I will be glad help.

 - Basic techniques - lets not bake in bad habits. I will help make sure that from day one you develop great playing and practice habits and make sure you don't hinder your future playing with poor technique.

I have a friendly, patient approach to teaching and can tailor your lessons to suit your musical tastes/goals, whether you want to take music exams (theory,classical/rock/pop), work on specific techniques or just learn to play songs for fun. Beginners welcome as are more advanced players.
