Classical Guitar teacher with over 30 years experience offering private lessons in Ewell, Epsom

As a self-taught acoustic fingerstyle guitarist, now retired and with time available to devote to a long-held ambition for a proper grounding in classical technique, I searched for a tutor with a high level of expertise. Julian’s qualifications, long experience and playing credentials really stood out and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Julian is a brilliant teacher, always supportive and constructive in his comments. He has understood my requirements perfectly and has a real passion for his craft. It’s good fun, and very motivating. I feel I’m making real progress as we work on the Grade 4 repertoire, and heartily recommend Julian to anyone looking to improve their playing skills.

Julian has been teaching my 15-year-old son classical guitar for more than 6 years. He is kind, encouraging and extremely caring as a teacher. While he has a solid eye for examination instruction and success, Julian also takes the time to get to know his pupils and find musical pieces that suit their personality and interests. He knows how to build accurate playing technique while sharing and helping to foster a genuine love of music. I warmly recommend Julian as a guitar teacher for students of all ages and stages of their guitar learning career.

Julian taught our son classic guitar, for over a year. He was extremely patient throughout, helping us buy the right instrument and accommodating us every time our son's busy schedule clashed with the guitar class. It was wonderful to see our son become more and more confident and want to play because it gives him pleasure. We recommend Julian wholeheartedly!

Julian has taught my daughter the classical guitar for over two years. He shares a real passion for the instrument and the music, which is complemented by a patient and clear approach. With a grade IV distinction in the bag earlier this year, she's now aiming higher, but most importantly, she really enjoys playing. He's a great teacher.

Julian has taught both my kids classical guitar from a young age. The eldest he has now taught for nearly 10 years. I highly recommend him! He is engaging, patient and inspiring to all ages of student. He always makes the lessons interesting and appropriate to their level. He keeps them progressing musically (and in terms of completing grades) and has instilled a real love of guitar music in them.
