Guitar Tuition/Teacher - Medusa Music

We would thoroughly recommend John as a guitar teacher. He is an extremely knowledgeable expert guitarist, conveys the technical side in a very accessible way, has lots of professional musical equipment, and makes the lessons very enjoyable in a professional and enthusiastic way. Our son has been a pupil of John’s for the last six years, has passed all his guitar grade exams first time, and will shortly be taking his grade 6 in Rockschool, which can contribute towards UCAS points. We feel tha...

I signed up with John after many years with various guitar tutors, having struggled to make a really impact on my guitar playing. John at Medusa Music provided me with a very structured approach (around my personal goals) with very flexible timing, which suited my hectic work schedule.

Having been a former student of the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) in London, and having moved to the area I was very fortunate to come across John. He met the same standards as the tutors I was used to and it was a natural progression to be taught by him. Not only does he have an in-depth knowledge on technique and theory but his overall affable style of teaching improved my playing considerably AND boosted my confidence to feel I could achieve more. He is very accommodating. It feels ...
