About
Hi! I’m a musician and guitar teacher offering online lessons to help you hit your musical goals from anywhere. I keep lessons fun, relaxed, and focused on what you want to learn, whether it’s nailing your first chords, exploring new styles, or building confidence in your playing. With a background in live gigs and festivals, I bring real-world experience to each session, making sure you get the skills and tips that make a difference. Let’s take your playing to the next level—all from the comfort of home!
Teaching Style
My teaching style is all about making guitar learning accessible, fun, and personalized. I work to create a laid-back, encouraging environment where you can explore music at your own pace, asking questions and trying new things without pressure. I focus on building a solid foundation in technique and theory while diving into songs and styles that interest you!
Curriculum
My approach to teaching guitar is all about what you want to learn. I encourage students to send me songs they’re excited about—whether it’s a favorite artist or a new style you’re curious to explore. From there, I’ll break down the parts, walk you through the techniques, and help you master the song, step-by-step.
I believe learning is more effective and fun when you’re playing music that genuinely interests you. So, whether you’re interested in fingerpicking, strumming, or lead guitar, I’ll structure our lessons around your goals and tailor each session to bring you closer to playing the music you love. Let’s dive into the songs that inspire you and make each lesson as personalized as possible.
Credentials & Affiliations
I’ve been lucky enough to gain some recognition in the Irish music scene, and it’s been an incredible journey so far. It all really kicked off when I performed a duet of Giants with Dermot Kennedy on The Late Late Toy Show back in 2020. That moment not only went viral but also led to some amazing opportunities—Kennedy even gifted me a recording session at Windmill Lane and a Fender guitar, which was a game-changer for me as a young artist.
Since then, I’ve released several singles, including All That I Do, a personal track dedicated to my late father, which brought me a lot of heartfelt support. I also put out 7 singles, which hit number one, and more recently, I headlined at The Sound House in Dublin—something I’d dreamed of for a long time.
I've been playing guitar for 10 years.
