Guitar lessons with focus on singing

Guitar lessons for beginner to intermediate level with a focus on singing ( if desired). I do not teach music theory but prefer to teach you to play songs concentrating on chords, bar chords, strumming and picking techniques. Suits those with a view to singing and performing but if you’re a bedroom guitarist that’s ok too. Great for budding singer/songwriters and people who want to go beyond simply playing guitar. Lessons tailored to suit individual needs. Especially suitable for tweens, teens, women and girls who prefer a female teacher.
