Richard has been teaching my son, Luke, guitar for 4 years and during that time I have been hugely impressed by his energy, enthusiasm and commitment. He has been very good at engaging with Luke, and tailors his teaching to what his pupils want to learn rather than forcing them down a set route. There are plenty of extra-curricular activities, such as an annual Christmas busk and regular Monsters of Rock workshops. Richard really goes the extra mile, with invaluable advice on where to buy guitars, accessories, pedals etc, and is very efficient at helping time-challenged parents like me stay on top of the lesson schedule when it’s disrupted by school holidays etc!
