Testimonials
“My son started guitar lessons with Aaron in 2008 and I would happily recommend him to anyone as a teacher. My son was completely engaged and thoroughly took guitar playing on as a huge part of his life and it channeled his creativity and a knock on effect was that it improved other areas of his life including his ability to focus on other school work and life attitude.” - JULIE MORLEY - Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Deeping St. James
“I had the pleasure of Aaron teaching me for the best part of a year. One of the most humble and understanding teachers I've had, backed up with superior musical knowledge and ability. Was the perfect mentor to guide me into further education and learnt a great deal of unforgettable guitar techniques from him. A superb virtuoso, easy to talk to and a huge influence to any aspiring musician. Very highly recommended." ” - J. SENIOR – Degree Graduate from The Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM)
“Aaron is a guitarist whose phenomenal skill and knowledge for music is matched only by his ability to teach. He has an insane wealth of experience gained from years of hard work and an insatiable hunger to be better. Luckily, this passion translates into his teaching style perfectly, bolstered by a drive to see his students flourish. As an ex-student of Aaron, I can say that I learned something new everyday about playing guitar or music theory as a whole, even if I didn't have a lesson with him that day! The amount I learned in a class of eight was astounding, I can't fathom how much more one would learn if in private tuition by him! I genuinely can't recommend him as a tutor more. Ben T. (L3 Higher Diploma BTEC Music Technology sixth form student). ”
“I started having lessons with Aaron when I was around 12 and stayed with him for around 2 years and only stopped as I left the country! Aaron taught me a large portion of what I know today about every aspect of playing guitar. He encouraged me to go above and beyond what I ever thought could. I'm now 18 and still playing using skills he taught me years ago. I would encourage anyone to take lessons with Aaron as he is a great guy and a truly incredible guitarist.” - CONNER, Deeping St James
