**GUITAR LESSONS IN SE LONDON**

Hello. My name is George and I am a musician currently living in Brockley. I am offering guitar lessons for all abilities, all ages and all areas of South East London because I want to fill the time between playing shows and doing recording sessions with my band with something I enjoy. I am DBS checked as I also tutor English Literature, and am more than happy to travel (within reason). I have in excess of 15 years experience playing guitar and over ten years experience playing live, both solo and with various bands. Aside from this, I am not your regular guitar teacher. This is because

-I will NOT be teaching you grades, I will be teaching you what YOU want to learn, and how to express yourself in YOUR own way.

-I will help and encourage you to write your own songs and parts by teaching you chord structures, strumming patterns, scales, and providing you with some amount of music theory (but not enough to make it boring!)

-I will help teach you any song you may wish to learn, to read tablature and teach yourself in the future.

-I will play with you so you get used to playing with others and keeping time with other instruments, but only when you want me to.

-I will NEVER try to get you to learn or play anything you don't want to learn or play. This is about you and what you want to hear and play.

-Learning how to play guitar can be a lot of fun, but it can also be soul destroying when frustration and self-doubt take over. This is all part of the process and without these things you would learn nothing. They are necessary to your progression as a musician. I will help you to overcome these obstacles by being patient and understanding at all times.

I personally think that you should learn to play on your own guitar, but if you don't have one, please don't worry. I can provide acoustic and electric guitars, amplifiers, plectrums-everything necessary.

I would rather travel to you because i live with 4 others in a cramped house, but I am happy to make exceptions if necessary.

Rates are as follows:

40 minutes-?15

1 hour-?20

1.5 hours-?27

2 hours-?35

Please contact me either on here or 07538079210 for any more information.

Cheers,

George Russell

    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
    • Hello, I'm looking for an entertainer for my 9 year old son's birthday party. Looking for someone who can organise some games for the kids as my son and his friends are quite active. Regards, Sue
    • My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago.  We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed.   feeling a lot less sad about that now!  
    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
