What Our Students Said About Us
Alex is a fabulous guitar teacher. After forty years of playing guitar at a fairly basic level, I finally decided to get some proper instruction, and am very lucky to have found Alex. He has done an excellent job of teaching me blues-focused guitar skills, with a very strong grounding in theory. And he is a very friendly guy. I recommend him strongly.

I received a few lessons with Alex as a gift. He was very organised, he reached out before the lessons and made a tailored lesson plan. On top of that, he was a very friendly and great teacher. I would definitely recommend Alex.
