Three instruments to choose from

Each lesson is one-to-one and tailored to what your child wants to learn โ€” whether that's their favourite song or the basics from scratch.

Flexible scheduling

Lessons available after school and on weekends. We'll find a regular slot that works for you, or book as and when.

Tailored to your child

No set syllabus. I focus on what your child enjoys and wants to learn. If they want to play a specific song, we'll work on that.

(I'm on the right)

Hi, I'm Oliver ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm 16 and I've been playing music for years. I play guitar, drums, keyboard and saxophone, and I'm working towards making music my career. I started teaching because I remember what it was like to be a beginner โ€” I know what works, what's confusing, and how to make it fun. I'm patient, relaxed and I genuinely love helping people learn.

Common questions

Everything parents usually ask before the first lesson.

Does my child need their own instrument? โ–ผ
If lessons are at my house, no โ€” I have everything here. If I'm coming to you, you'll need your own drums or keyboard, but I can bring a guitar for your child to use.
What age is best to start? โ–ผ
I mainly teach school age kids, so under 16. But I'm happy to teach anyone who's a beginner or just starting out, regardless of age.
Do you follow a set syllabus or do exams? โ–ผ
No. My lessons are completely informal and fun-focused. I teach what your child is interested in โ€” their favourite songs, basic skills, or whatever gets them excited about playing. No grades, no pressure.
How do I pay? โ–ผ
Cash or bank transfer โ€” whatever's easiest for you. Payment is per lesson, so there's no upfront cost or long-term commitment.
Will a parent need to be present? โ–ผ
That's completely up to you. Parents are welcome to sit in on lessons or drop off and come back โ€” whatever you and your child are comfortable with.
Can my child try a different instrument? โ–ผ
Absolutely. If they start on guitar and want to try drums, that's no problem at all. They can switch whenever they like.
