Simons Music Lessons

Music is a passion which lasts a lifetime, it aids general learning, improves concentration while building self confidence and helps stimulate creativity in children and adults alike.

I offer one on one lessons for guitar/bass/drums which is tailored to the students skill level, beginner to advanced.
I work with you to discover what drives you to learn to play your instrument and which teaching style suits you.
There are no requirements to pay for the terms outright, unlike lessons available through schools, and you can book your lessons around what suits you.
