About Me
|
I got given my first guitar way back in 2001 and, many years later I think back on that moment as one which opened up so many opportunities - not only to become a music teacher, but to have a hobby which can be fun, relaxing, challenging, stimulating, expressive, cathartic...
My training began in classical guitar. After sitting some exams I transferred to electric guitar in my teens. This way I gained a solid foundation in technique and theory across various styles of music. Since then I took a deeper dive into acoustic guitar and electric blues guitar in particular. Through my 20s my taste in music broadened and so did my teaching abilities. But if I had to, I'd say my favourite genres are: blues, metal and rock. I grew up in London before moving to Amsterdam aged eighteen where I graduated from Amsterdam University College with a BA in Liberal Arts & Sciences. As a student I continued to self-teach guitar and I began performing in bars and cafes. In this time I gave my first guitar lessons and knew I wanted a career as a teacher. Since then there has been no looking back, and I have taught professionally for 7 years. |

Firstly I'm a teacher but I make sure to write, perform and record like any guitarist should. (It really is a never ending journey!) You can check out my (frankly minimal) activity instagram and facebook where I post quick tutorials and some updates from my students.
I'm glad to have founded All In Guitar but I'm also looking forward to its expansion and development. The mission is to increase accessibility to quality music education, which isn't limited to financial ability, but also physical or mental ability for example. I look forward to the day when more people are behind the project, reaching even more people, in new ways. If you have read this far I would really appreciate if you would spread the word - there are countless guitar teachers out there, but I'm not sure if anyone is doing it like this... |
