Testimonials 
"Marc is a skilled teacher of guitar playing and an exceptional musician in his own right with a wealth of experience of both teaching and playing at all levels.  As an adult re-learner (largely self-taught) and parent of an 11-year-old beginner, I have found that Marc's patient and gentle teaching style has worked very well for both of us.  I am very pleased to recommend Marc as a guitar teacher to anyone, young or old, beginner or established player.  I am confident that he will bring new dimensions to your musical journey whether you are an aspiring Segovia or a Strat-hacking Hendrix impersonator." Dr Alex Jones London
 
 
"I’ve been learning to play guitar with Marc since 2006. The lessons are clear, structured, and engaging, taking place in a comfortable and positive environment. I feel that the teaching is delivered and tailored to my needs and the appropriate stage of my musical development. I find Marc’s musical performance brilliant, which is a real motivator! I started with the ‘Guitar for Everyone’ series of books written by Marc. From this I learned how to read musical notation from scratch, each lesson building on the next, developing different playing and reading skills. With each stage concisely explained and reviewed, I have broadened my musical horizons. The books have included the works of Beethoven (such as ‘Song of Joy’), and Bach (the ‘Inventions’), as well as the scales in different keys – major, minor, harmonic, and melodic. In the later years of studying, I enjoyed learning how to solo in a blues and rock style, with various techniques, such as bending the guitar strings, pull-offs and slides, which added a new level to my guitar playing. Additionally we focused on the music of my favourite artists, such as Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and other folk and rock musicians - learning the chords and melodies, and strumming patterns. Marc has a large and up-to-date knowledge of musicians and various genres which helps with my musical progression. He has the latest technology and musical notation software. So Marc can easily adapt printed compositions for my level. And he can record the songs that I’ve mastered, for me to stick on my ipod!"  Dr. Justin Brummer, East Sheen, London (March 2014).
 
Marc is an accomplished Musician and Guitarist, I have benefited from his tuition both in the classroom, in a group environment and private tuition. Marc is a patient tutor who adapts to my learning needs. Marc’s most outstanding skill is his ability to put me at ease, which allows me to enjoy the music I play and the progress that I am making. He sets high standards and expects students to practice so they can achieve their full potential and committed students will make rapid progress from Marc’s tuition. He is versatile and can play any style of music. His fees are very reasonable and value for money for the quality tuition he gives. I do not hesitate in recommending Marc to all age groups and abilities. John Scannell”, Hampton Hill, March 2014
