About Jon
I've been known to be very patient with children and have been tutoring kids between the ages of 5 - 13. The parents are very happy with my methodology in tutoring and some have stayed while I tutor their child. If the guitar is too big for the child, I tend to introduce them to play ukulele as a starting point. I tutor kids basic piano and introduce exercises that are sometimes not in the exercise books that you can easily purchase to help them improve their dexterity and sight reading. Sight reading isn't really introduced for kids who play guitar, but I tend to slowly introduce it to them in bite-size sections until they feel more confident with it. I have my own methods to help introduce children in how to play with bar chords and help them feel more comfortable in adjusting their fingers. I'm a very passionate songwriter and I will try to introduce to kids different genres of music from different decades. I do try to encourage kids to try and write their own songs as well and it seems to help them gain confidence with their instrument.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
For the first lesson I tend to analyse a student's skill level and work on what is appropriate to help them advance. I work on classical, blues, rock, pop and songwriting. I introduce to students music theory that is not overwhelming and broken down to help them slowly understand it. I tutor all ages, length of a lesson varies between 30 mins to 60 mins, it does not have to be a full hour as this website suggests. I'm highly qualified and only have 2 more spots available to tutor potential students due to a packed schedule.

Jon is a fantastic guitar tutor to my 2 sons. He is patient, kind and makes practicing fun. The boys love him and look forward to seeing him on a weekly basis. I can really see a marked improvement in their scales and Jon also advises on the best methods and apps to help in all areas of their playing. Highly recommend A*****
Jon has been teaching our 8 year old child for nearly a year and his progress has been phenomenal! Jon is very patient and supportive in both teaching of the acoustic and electric guitars. Lessons are planned and prepared to ensure progress is made and chords/ scales/ timing is reinforced each time! He is caring and suggests alternatives when something is challenging but always pushes the learning forward. Range of music styles have been explored from classics to rock n roll. Looking forward to another year of learning!!!
