Ipswich Guitar Tuition

I am a friendly, patient and enthusiastic tutor and have provided electric and acoustic guitar tuition for twenty years. I am based in Ipswich, Suffolk and currently have availability on both weekdays and weekends for private guitar tuition. Lessons are £35 per hour or £17.50 per half hour. All ages and abilities are welcome. These one-to-one lessons are delivered at my home studio or via Zoom. Outreach guitar tuition (eg. in schools and arts centres) is also available – please contact me to discuss details and rates.

I have taught groups too and delivered on behalf of other organisations, including a song-writing workshop at The Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead, an electric guitar master-class at Sound It Out Studios, Walsall and a composition workshop at Frogmore Paper Mill.

My teaching approach is adaptable and I make sure that content is appropriate for each individual student and tailored to their interests. I teach a variety of styles; everything from jazz, classical, pop and country to blues, rock and heavy metal.

You can see more videos of me playing guitar in the ‘Watch’ section of this website.

Testimonials (more on ‘Testimonials’ page of this website):

‘I have been taking lessons from Tom for a couple of months and I have noticed a huge difference in my technical ability, I now have a good grasp of basic theory and look forward to my lessons.’ – Adam Chiu, student

‘After a 15 year layoff from playing Tom helped kick my technique back into shape and improve my musical theory knowledge in short order. We have covered a variety of styles including Blues, Rock, Metal, and Gypsy Jazz and I thoroughly enjoy our lessons. He is always happy to adapt his teaching towards what you are most interested in learning. Highly recommended!’ – Gareth Jones
