Sam Ludlow

Hey! I'm Sam and thanks for considering my profile.

When I was younger, I wasn't confident and I struggled with identity and self-esteem. I really needed my 'thing' ...and learning an instrument gave me exactly that. Learning an instrument felt like my superpower - it gave me a sense of direction and accomplishment - it gave me a channel of expression and really boosted my confidence.

I truly believe that EVERYONE has musical ability. ..it's just about finding it. The real pros understand that music is a language and how you express it in your own way is everything. No crazy solos or fancy shredding - you will be able to understand music and (speak) music. Express yourself in whatever mood takes you in that moment.

I'm well-seasoned after playing music for 20 years as I started at 9 years old. I've played in bands, performing hundreds of times and touring all over Europe. Now I'm a full-time teacher whilst also writing lots of music.

What's most important above all else is that you enjoy the lesson and have fun! We'll explore the parts of music you like and leave the parts that are less important to you. Lessons will be available for 45 minutes or 30 minutes and based around the following.
