James lessons will be relaxed, friendly and individually tailored to each child to their current level and aspirations for the instrument. 'London Collage of Music’ (LCME) Acoustic Grades level 1 to 8 will be offered should the child wish to do so, but not forced to do so. Beginner to advanced level lessons in all popular styles such as rock/pop/funk/blues/funk/country. Lessons will be primarily based around ’Tab’ reading and my own ‘colour method’. However, traditional notation reading will be introduced down the line of the lessons period. Pupils will be expected to come to their lessons with their own guitar, plus any music/sheets that I have given out thus far, ideally in a display book folder, to each lesson.
