Online

2020's Coronavirus pandemic sees us all reliant upon online services. Students and clients can still get plenty out of my services, almost forgetting that the tech is there in 1 to 1 lessons.

I can match your preferred tech or advise upon everything involved (a previous career in IT proves handy). My preference is currently Zoom but you may consider the various others including Skype, Facebook, Google, Apple Facetime, Instagram..........telephone?!

Online music and tech service examples:

  • Guitar, music tech and song writing - coaching, mentoring, transcriptions, arrangements, recordings, backing tracks.
  • Flexible lesson lengths and times.
  • Prerecorded video lessons, transcription and arrangement requests.
  • Live chats to work through personally.
  • Recorded lesson summarys and notes.
  • Recorded exercises and backing tracks to work with in own time.

  • Music production - writing, recording, mixing, mastering, promoting.
