Pete Bolton . . . teaching

Pete is a patient, encouraging and sympathetic teacher with a good sense of humour. He believes that to be a good guitar teacher it is obviously essential to be a good guitarist - 
but that is not enough - it is also essential to be able to structure the learning to the exact level, needs and ambition of the student.

Currently his students genuinely range in age from eight to eighty and all come with their own learning goals. They include teachers who want to use the guitar in the classroom, students who want to play for fun, performers who want to widen and improve their technique and young students who want to work through grades in order to study music further.
 For all of them Pete tries to devise a structured but above all enjoyable programme that will make them well  rounded players whilst moving towards their goal.

Pete teaches all levels and abilities and for those wishing to take grades Pete teaches the RGT/London College of Music Exams in acoustic and electric guitar.

 Pete is an experienced player of the 5-string banjo and offers tuition in clawhammer and three finger picking styles.

He also plays mandolin and ukulele and offers tuition in both. 

Pete teaches from his own spacious teaching studio well equipped with instruments and digital recording equipment allowing students to create a recording of their achievements as well as allowing Pete to record practice material for individual students.

 Pete holds current CRB clearance and Public Liability Insurance.

  All lessons are taught on a one-to-one basis and most students come weekly for either a one hour or half hour lesson.

His current rates are £15 per hour or £10 per half hour lesson.
