About Billy
Hi, I'm Billy, a guitarist from South East London who's been performing live since I was eighteen. I was trained at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance and have over five years of private teaching experience. Having begun as a self-taught musician, I believe it is fundamental for students to first find their passion, as this will provide the necessary motivation to advance. Whether you've just got your first guitar, or you wish to build upon your existing skills and advance your playing - I will make sure to tailor my lessons to you.

During your first lesson, I will spend some time discussing your goals on the guitar. With experience teaching young children who have never held an instrument before, all the way to older students with decades of experience who wish to improve their theory and technique, I aim to establish an understanding of why you have sought out guitar lessons, and will demonstrate
how I will go about helping you achieve this goal.
While the first lesson partially acts as a ‘get to know you’ session for both of us, I am in regular contact with my students, asking them if there is a particular area they would like to focus on for their next lesson, as well as providing suggestions if the student is unsure.
My lessons last either 30 minutes or one hour. I generally suggest one hour sessions, as this provides a suitable length to learn new material without being overloaded or overworked. I feel 30 minute sessions are more appropriate for younger students (i.e. primary school age), as one hour can often be too much work.
I recommend that lessons occur weekly, as regular sessions will help develop your skills and ability on the guitar.
With more than seventeen years of playing, over five years experience teaching privately, and two and half years spent in primary schools, I am well versed in teaching both young and old, new and advanced students.
As a versatile musician, I am accomplished in many genres and playing styles, including rock, blues, jazz, metal, funk, disco, country, pop, soul, punk and many more. Having helped students learn their first song, while also helping others improve their improvisation and soloing skills, I am confident and happy to teach students of all ages and abilities.
As a songwriter and performer in my own band, I have performed across the country for many years, showcasing my own compositions. I also have experience working with singer songwriters, function bands and session work.
I have six years of musical education, having studied at Access To Music in Stratford, before studying music at degree level at The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in Kilburn, where I achieved First Class Honours.
