Top 30 Best Guitar lessons for beginners in London

“Jon is a very skilful guitar teacher, he cleverly interacts at the right level and has a natural talent to play guitar himself which really inspires my son. My son is 12 yrs old and thoroughly enjoys his weekly lesson learning to play better guitar every time he goes! Highly recommended.”

“Luke teaches my son piano and we’ve found him to be excellent. He is patient and kind, reliable and consistent and most of all he is clearly a very talented musician, a great role model for young learners.”

“I have been attending Barry's weekly ukulele group at the Orchard Theatre, Dartford for about 6 months now and, I must say, his teaching and coaching is superb. I have played guitar for a number of years and thought I knew music but Barry has taught me SO much more. Excellent!”

“Jim is an absolute star. He fixed my guitar from a botched set up job. Feels like another instrument. He was kind attentive and really took the time to explain thoroughly what he has done. He empathised with my bad luck and turned around quickly despite being very busy. From the 1st contact he was so polite and helpful. A truly amazing professional. I can't recommend him enough. Thanks Jim!”

“I am a 'mature' student who joined West London School of Guitar 3 years ago as a total beginner with a battered second hand electric guitar and no real idea of what I wanted to achieve. In that time, I've gone from learning simple chord progressions and melodies to playing classical pieces, learning a range of different and challenging techniques, sight reading and music theory and regular improvisation classes with other students (and acquiring a couple of new guitars en route!). We're also encouraged and given guidance to set ourselves goals on a regular basis and we work together to make these goals a reality. WLSoG wants all the students to be the best guitarists they can possibly be with an understanding of musical concepts as well as techniques. No stone is left un-turned on this route and students make great progress in a positive and friendly teaching environment. This is the best thing I've done in ages. I've grown in confidence as a guitar player and as a person - I can't recommend these classes highly enough.”

“Music school that offers and teaches lots of different instruments and also theory lessons. Teachers are dedicated and passionate about their jobs and students. Also train towards the 11+ music exams.”

“I had been playing around with the guitar for many years but not really going anywhere. Since I have began having lessons with Bruno, things have now started to move forward! Bruno is a great teacher, very patient and provides course materials to support the learning and practice. Highly recommended!”

“Great school! Not just professional teachers work here, but mentors and friends of the child; everyone finds an individual approach. In a comfortable environment, it is interesting, creatively give knowledge, develop a comprehensive personality of the child. Our family trusts this team of educators.”

“A life-long ambition of mine was to learn how to sing and use my voice to its full potential, but most importantly, feel confident in doing so. I was one of those typical "I could never sing" people, and I knew it was a belief I needed to shift! For me, learning to sing from scratch created a lot of vulnerability, so I needed to find the right person with whom I could feel comfortable working through those feelings without judgement or pressure. After reading his outstanding reviews, I contacted Rob and thought it was a no-brainer to jump straight in and get lessons from him. Within the first 2-3 lessons, I knew he was the right fit for me. I'd gained more knowledge and a more precise understanding of my voice range, but more importantly, the way Rob structured his lessons gave me an enormous sense of self-belief that I could improve my voice and, ultimately, SING! Another point is that these lessons aren't just about singing. They allowed me an opportunity for me to reconnect with my body and disconnect from my stressful day-to-day life, which in my view, is priceless. Whether you're a newbie starting from scratch or someone experienced looking to take things to the next level, Robert's coaching is a guaranteed returning investment. John Georgeson, London.”

“First of all as soon as you walk into LMAT you find all the staff are so friendly and helpful. This immediately makes you feel relaxed and welcomed. The teaching staff are all highly qualified professional musicians that teach at your pace so you not only learn but you understand what you have learned everything is about you the student and everything is about giving you the best and most enjoyable learning experience. The premises are excellent and very well equipped with modern and traditional teaching aids. You can choose to learn to play an instrument just for your own pleasure or take it to the next level and study for exams. You can choose whatever exam body you wish to work towards your grades with. Finnaly I found the fees to be very reasonable and extremely good value.”

“If you want to learn the perfect art of flamenco then Ollie is the perfect teacher. He's a superb dancer and exceptionally skilled in his craft. He has a true passion for flamenco and this is reflected in class. As a teacher he’s incredibly inspiring and encouraging and I love his attention to detail (he hears and sees everything!) Ollie cares about teaching correct technique, posture, rhythm and he most definitely has the ability to get the best from his students. His classes are challenging and great fun. You’ll be fully immersed in flamenco, with lovely people, and come away feeling energised and looking forward to the next class! Absolutely recommend The Flamenco Academy.”

“My son has been a member of Stars for over three years and from day one Jess and her teams energy, enthusiasm and inclusivity made him feel at ease. It is a hugely fun group which is so good for their confidence and with regular showcases to see what the children have been working on. I’ve recommended to lots of friends whose children love it too.”

“Daniel Sargesson is the resident expert for all things guitar at A to G; very open minded and takes the candidates choices into account when coming up with a plan for learning guitar; focuses on the core concepts and techniques in guitar also on how to broaden your perspective on music in general.

“Being a student of 2 years at BigK Music School has brought new light into my life. The teachers are awesome and understand each students individual needs - I have had a few different teachers in my past and none can come remotely close! At BigK, I have been given many opportunities to showcase my development and play live in a full band scenario! It has really helped build my confidence and playing with other musicians of all ages has developed my peoples skills. BigK Music School does a lot more than just teaching music!”
