Guitar lessons for kids & exam students
Hi, I'm Richard. I've spent years teaching in schools, so I know what actually keeps kids engaged — and what makes their eyes glaze over. These lessons are structured, patient and all about building confidence, with safeguarding and grade exam prep baked in.
Structured, but never boring
Kids learn best with a clear path — but that doesn't mean dry or rigid. Every lesson follows a steady, age-appropriate route, from first chords and reading tab through to scales, technique and actually enjoying performing.
Short, focused tasks keep younger players engaged, with a small, satisfying target to nail each week. Progress they can actually see and feel.
- Clear weekly goals — one small, satisfying thing to nail each week.
- Age-appropriate songs — stuff they'll actually want to play.
- Real grade paths — ABRSM, Rockschool and Trinity support.
Safeguarding you can trust
I taught in schools for years, so child safety isn't a box I tick — it's just how I work. Lessons run with clear online-safety practices, and you're always welcome to sit in.

Real school-teaching experience
I've stood in front of a classroom enough to know what keeps kids engaged and what sends them to sleep. I bring that every single lesson.
Grade exam preparation
I know exactly what examiners are listening for, and I'll get your child ready without the stress — sight-reading, aural, performance, the lot.
