I'd like to recommend local musician Dan Maitland (website: http://eazypeazymusic.com/ his number: 07960 288 053) who's been teaching me to play guitar for the last few months. His lessons are great fun and there is real progress from the beginning. Dan is an accomplished musician, able to work out any song just by listening to it and explain how to play it without making it seem daunting. He teaches all levels and all ages. He also teaches singing, saxophone and ukelele and runs the Goose Green Choir (http://goosegreenchoir.com/).
