GT Guitar & Keyboards

I teach most keyboard and guitar lessons in my home music studio, but I visit the Darwen area on Thursday evenings for a few long term students at present. Tuition is available for all age groups and skill levels, and a range of genres and styles of music are provided. A library of songs asked for over the years is available to students. Backing tracks are provided with or without voice, and midi files are amended with computer software to provide key changes for guitar playing vocalists. Midi files are also used for keyboard backing tracks.

Students are shown how to use effects pedals and multi-effect processors to produce the guitar sounds associated with particular songs/ tracks. A PA system is available for microphone use. Grades from 1-8 and Diplomas are taught using LCM, Trinity (Rock & Pop), RGT and Rockschool examination boards. Tuition for exams/grades are a way of learning songs and instrumental pieces thoroughly, but are not always a way of training a band musician.
