Learn to Play, Have Fun, and Reach Your Musical Goals

Welcome to Thames Guitar, your premier destination for guitar lessons in Isleworth, Richmond, and Chiswick. Our mission is to provide a fun and encouraging learning environment where you or your child can develop a lifelong passion for music. At Thames Guitar, we believe that everyone is unique and that learning should be tailored to individual styles and goals.

Our Approach to Teaching

My teaching philosophy is built on the principles of setting achievable goals, encouraging students to take an active role in their learning, and fostering a love for music that transcends mere technical proficiency. I have a passion for folk, rock, and blues music, and I believe that these genres provide the perfect foundation for developing fundamental guitar skills. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your technique, I will work with you to create a personalized lesson plan that suits your needs and interests.

Services Offered

At Thames Guitar, we offer a range of services designed to meet the needs of beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. Our services include:

  • One-to-one lessons: Perfect for those who prefer personalized attention and guidance.
  • Group lessons: A great way to learn with like-minded individuals and develop social skills.
  • Online lessons: Convenient and flexible, our online lessons provide the perfect solution for those with busy schedules or for those who prefer learning from the comfort of their own home.
  • Exams: As a registered teacher with the Registry of Guitar Tutors (RGT), I offer exams in acoustic guitar and bass guitar, providing a formal assessment of your progress and a sense of accomplishment.

Our Location

I teach locally at students' homes, covering the Isleworth, Hounslow, Chiswick, and Richmond areas. Unfortunately, due to my cycling schedule, I am unable to travel further afield. However, I can accommodate students who prefer online lessons, providing a convenient and flexible solution for those with busy schedules.

Our prices are competitive and designed to provide excellent value for money. We offer a range of packages, including one-to-one lessons, group lessons, and online lessons. Our prices start at 22.50 per student for group lessons and 30 per 45-minute lesson for one-to-one and online lessons.
