About Ann
Whilst it has always been a fundamental aspect of my life, it was in 2007 that I decided I should share my love of playing through teaching. Over the following three years I developed both my playing and teaching skills and gained formal qualifications. I gained a Distinction at Grade 8, undertook the ABRSM 10-month part time course leading to the Certificate of Teaching qualification. I then went on to gain the London College of Music Associate Diploma in Teaching. Alongside these studies I have enjoyed a wide variety of teaching experiences. I worked as a Freelance for the Berkshire Music Hub (Berkshire Maestros) for 5 years. In addition to conventional small group and one to one tuition I was very involved with the Government’s First Access Programme. This involves giving every primary school child the opportunity to learn an instrument. To this end I taught whole classes of up to 34 children in Years 4 or 5. I found this variety very fulfilling and continue to use the broad range of teaching strategies I developed in that role. Since leaving Maestros I have specialised in one to one tuition in my growing private practice.

I offer one to one tuition in my studio at my home in Newport, Shropshire. I will also travel to a student’s home in exceptional circumstances. I have introduced teaching via Skype and have found this to be highly effective. My current fees are £15 for half an hour, £20 per 45 minutes and £25 for an hour. Most students have weekly lessons but those travelling further tend to choose a longer lesson fortnightly lesson. My students range from age 6 to 88, from total beginner to Diploma level. Many students opt to take formal examinations, 85% passing with either Merit or Distinction. I am equally happy to support students in a less formal approach. In all cases I aim to provide a broad musical experience. Given the rather solitary nature of some guitar playing I aim to provide opportunities for duets and, where logistics allow, ensemble playing. I hope that learning to play the guitar is rewarding in its own right whilst nurturing wider life skills. Technique and knowledge are important but my priority is enjoyment. I aim to replace the traditional dread of practice with the motivation and desire to play!

My 10 year old son learnt with Ann for a year before she moved to Newport. We learnt with another teacher for a couple of years but then decided to return to Ann for online lessons because she is so encouraging, has a great rapport with my son and gets excellent results. Ann makes it fun and introduces new techniques to keep it interesting. She can teach across a broad spectrum of styles whilst explaining basic musical principles that apply to them all.
Hi there, My name is John and Ann took me on as a totally green classical guitar student 6 years ago. She has supported and coaxed me through to a situation where I can read music and play classical pieces to Grade 4/5 happily. She also encouraged me to play acoustic guitar to a good enough level that I regularly play during worship at my local church. Now my guitar playing, and newfound love of music generally, truly enriches my life. This is all due to Ann's skilful teaching, encouragement and gentle support.
Ann is a wonderful guitar teacher. She has a huge passion for the guitar and for teaching. Her lessons are full of positivity and encouragement. She happily shares her knowledge and joy of the music and will always find a way to overcome any potential obstacles to your learning and enjoyment of playing - whatever your level of expertise. I would recommend her without hesitation!
