ABOUT GREG
I am a self employed guitarist and tutor, teaching from my studio in Huncote, Leicestershire. I began teaching 12 years ago and find it hugely rewarding. I have been the resident guitar teacher at Bosworth Academy in Desford for over 10 years having previously taught at The Lancaster School in Leicester. In that time I have had the pleasure of helping many young people prepare for their music GCSE's, A Levels and college auditions. I also have experience teaching people with special educational needs, large groups and even retiree's in their 80's! I have an enhanced CRB/DBS disclosure and as a member of the Musicians Union, I have extensive public liability insurance.
I am hugely passionate about music and guitar playing. My aim is to pass on the knowledge and skills I have acquired in my 25 years as a guitar player. Every student learns at a different pace but anyone can learn to play the guitar. I firmly believe there is no 'one size fits all' method to learning or teaching the guitar, my lessons are tailored to each individual and we will work at a pace that suits you using the music that inspires you!
Happy Guitar Playing

TESTIMONIALS
Greg has a genuine passion for music and the ability to pass this on to others. I love playing the guitar and Greg has had a huge impact on this by always being positive and encouraging even when things aren’t going so well! I would recommend anybody at any age or level looking for a guitar teacher to give Greg a call first."

Even though I speak of his work in college with high praise, I feel more compelled to say how I admire him as a teacher of the guitar. He is truly dedicated to his art of guitar playing and teaching. I have witnessed on many occasions, delivery of excellent lessons and am regularly aware how his students progress effectively and quickly. I have a lot of contact with these students, as they invariably are also progressing different music qualifications within the college. I can also tell they have excellent relationships with Greg and love coming to their lessons.
- Nancy Honor-Wright -
Former Head of Music – Bosworth Academy
"He was incredibly patient and thorough in explaining and demonstrating matters to me such that things became clearer very quickly, without spending ages ploughing through endless books and websites, trying to work out what was relevant and important for me. Best of all he demonstrated limitless enthusiasm for studying and playing the guitar."".

Greg’s genuine zeal for music, the guitar and teaching are what makes him such an inspirational figure. And his energy transcends to his students, which is the reason that I feel anyone should jump at the chance of lessons with him. I would always look forward to lessons with Greg so despite being at university, I will undoubtedly continue my lessons with him whenever I am back in Leicester! I cannot thank him enough for where I am now in my playing!"
