Personal Description:
My name is John . I have been a professional musician and teacher since 1987. I have done session work with with Steve Tayton the renowned Jazz saxophonist and various Jazz ensembles all over Europe back in the late eighties.
Tutoring Experience:
I wanted to put my efforts into teaching and passing on my knowledge and experience to others and started my teaching career at secondary schools, Colleges and at Coventry university teaching musical performance.
I have taught hundreds of students over the years from 6 years to 80 years young and have taken many students from raw beginner to to playing in bands professionally, some have gone on to higher education learning music and becoming teachers themselves.
Tutoring Approach:
I teach ON -LINE LESSONS SKYPE LESSONS And have reduced my charges to reflect the chalanging time we are going through styles of music Pop. Blues, Rock, Jazz, Folk, Country, Reggae, Funk, Soul, to advance level
on instruments guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, theory, composition, and songwriting is included.
I pride myself as a professional, who teaches in a friendly relaxed style and have strategies for helping students with special needs.
My passion for music is hopefully inspirational to others and I like passing on what I have learned along the way.
I am playing presently working for Warwickshire County Music Service teaching guitar/ keyboards, and still play in various bands and duos as a jobbing musician and play solo guitar at weddings and events.
Complete beginners are warmly welcomed.
NOW The secret formula!
if you can put in a minimum of 20minutes playing three times a week with a weekly or fortnightly lesson good progress is guaranteed!

I would highly recommend.
You and your Father are picking up the music quickly, both of you having musical experience has a big hand in that and I hope you can employ the harmonica in your own music in a real creative way!
First harmonica lesson under your belt soon will be wailing the blues!
Your an experienced bass player who plays in a pro band I am glad I can give you a few pointers on theory
Never played one in my life, other than making a noise with a toy one, when I was a kid. John had my blowing a bar or two after an hour. Very relaxing atmosphere. No pressure given. Thoroughly recommended.
Glad your enjoyed your first harmonica lesson will soon have wailing the blues
Chris has found him patient, approachable and incredibly knowledgeable. His enthusiasm is second to none and his method of teaching is tailored for the individual. Really great guy to have lessons with and Chris will be continuing.
