Hello, my name is Neil and I offer electric, acoustic, and classical guitar lessons online and in-person.

Recently, I have landed first place in Durham Region's Readers Choice Awards for Best Guitar Teacher for 2023. An award I am proud to hold and owe in part to my hard-working students and the wonderful parents who voted for me. Thank you for the continued support everyone!

Details:
I believe 45min is the perfect length for a weekly lesson and a 4 lesson block of 45min lessons is $120 for online or $150 for in-person (I drive to you).

All lessons come with PDF notes and access to a Google drive folder with music files and resources I've prepared.

I require payment in advance to reserve your weekly spot and notice of cancellations 24hrs prior to the start of your lesson. Lessons cancelled late will not be refunded though I can be flexible sometimes with lesson spots so if something comes up check in to see if I can accommodate a change in schedule.

I enjoy a lot of music and am mainly influenced by classical, rock, alternative and folk music but can still be useful in helping learn music outside of those genres.

I include music theory where it is necessary during guitar lessons but ultimately you decide how much theory you want to learn. Theory focused lessons can be arranged.

I have experience with the classical guitar repertoire and program provided by the Royal Conservatory of Music and I am certified level 8 in repertoire and theory. I regularly prepare students for RCM exams and offer special blocks of lessons for students who have booked an exam with the RCM.

You can find my RCM listing here.
