John Parker Cirencester Guitar Tutor/Teacher

I am a teacher of guitar lessons on electric, acoustic and bass guitar. I also teach ukelele, mandolin and banjo to students in the Cirencester area.As a guitar tutor my aim is to help each guitar student develop their creativity, technique and above all enthusiasm for the instrument. As an experienced music teacher and skilled musician I encourage my students to identify and work towards their own individual musical goals during tuition. Grades are available from all boards up to grade 8.

I have been a full time guitar teacher for 25 years, working both privately and in local schools. I have been playing, performing in bands and songwriting for even longer ! I continue to perform regularly as a guitarist both in bands and as a solo artist in Cirencester and throughout the Cotswolds. I believe that passion, experience, passion and patience are vital. I love my work and believe this come through when I am working.

For guitar,ukelele, mandolin, banjo or bass lessons/tuition call me now on 01285 640746.
I also run AB/CD School of Rock - a project which offers young Cirencester Guitarists, Bassists, Singers, Drummers (and other musicians) the opportunity to learn to play together as a band, gain performance experience and meet other young musicians in the area. Many of my guitar students make their first public performances here.

Every guitar student learns differently, therefore I tailor my guitar lessons to the individual student, rather than using the one size fits all approach. During tuition, I encourage students to choose their own goals for learning. The success of this ethos can be demonstrated by the many current and former Cirencester students who have excelled in achieving their individual musical ambitions as guitar players.

As a reputable Guitar Tutor I am a current CRB/DSB holder and as a parent myself I am happy for parents to sit in throughout their childrens lessons if they wish to, and can provide personal and professional references if you require this.
