Testimonials
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the wonderful teaching you’ve done with Arlo and Louis over the years. You’ve sparked in them a real passion for guitar – long may it continue!
Just wanted to let you know that Hannah passed her Grade 1 guitar exam with a Merit!
Thank you so much for everything. Amélie and Marley love your sessions!
We just wanted to say thank you so much for teaching Thomas (at Ashington school) guitar this year. He has thoroughly enjoyed every lesson and has always been keen to show us what he has learnt each week. We can’t believe how quickly he has picked it up! He is very excited about showing the others today in assembly (although a little nervous.) This is something we never thought he would have the confidence to do a year ago. He has had a few wobbles in school this year but has always looked forward to Mondays because of his guitar lesson.
Thank you for your time and patience, he’s already looking forward to next year!
Thank you for everything you do. Darcy loves her lessons with you.
Thank you so much for all your positive, fun & happy lessons.
Thanks to my dobro classmates for putting up with a complete noob on the instrument, and many thanks to Chris Eaton who did the almost impossible and did it so well. Teaching a class at a certain level is one thing; teaching a class that consists of very able players at one end and complete beginners at the other and managing to satisfy both simultaneously is very different and not at all easy to do, but somehow Chris managed it with panache.
