Testimonials
“For me it wasn’t about music exams, it was about having music in my children’s lives for the long-term.
With Jake we have found a totally different kind of music teacher.
He is about the love of music and uses whatever approach he thinks will appeal.
My two are very different but they both adore Jake and have learnt so much through him.
It is a joy when he fills our house with music and ‘practice’ just becomes ‘playing for fun’.
I also asked the kids to tell me what they would say about him. Hilariously, they are more eloquent than I am:
‘He lets you learn freely about what you want to learn and what you like about music’ Noah, aged 9.
‘He fits the lessons to your personality.' Sophia, aged 10"
"Jake is a great teacher and is extremely responsive to an individual learning approach. For me this means learning songs that I want to sing along to, which motivates me to practice. I've really noticed my progress since taking his lessons and he's always patient and kind when you need it!"
"Great teacher who really knows his stuff and always goes the extra mile to make sure lessons are engaging and tailored to your objectives"
Jake is an extremely talented guitar tutor for both, your acoustic and electric guitar. His hawk eyes tell you where you go wrong with attention to detail. I have tried other guitar teachers in Surrey but they lacked knowledge and were teaching me things that were about right but not always spot on. Jake has been the best and is 100% accurate and worth your money. Also very good at listening to songs that you like but are new to him ... quick in figuring the right chords/notes out so you will save yourself a lot of frustration and time by learning things the right way from the start. Bonus: you get a short personalized video of what you learnt in your lesson before the next day so you can practice the stuff on your own before you see him again next time. Very helpful as some of the riffs and shapes can be forgotten once he’s out the door. Also just a really nice chap. Highly recommend him!
