    Keiran demonstrated remarkable astuteness during our first meeting, quickly identifying the gaps in my guitar knowledge and skills. As a self-taught musician, I found his ability to pinpoint my weaknesses with precision and clarity truly commendable—exactly what I needed. He promptly designed a learning trajectory for me, and our first official lesson was exceptional. He covered a lot of ground and provided me with enough material to keep me practising for quite a while. Additionally, his patience and teaching skills are outstanding. Just one session with him reignited my passion for learning, and I couldn’t be happier.

    Probably the best guitar teacher I’ve ever had, he makes learning fun and enjoyable. He knows how to breakdown any concept that youre trying to learn to be easily digestible. I’ve learned so much already from his lessons!

    Kieran’s teaching style is a strong mix of his friendly character and his astronomical musical education, this creates an atmosphere of comfort whist being pushed to become the best on your chosen instrument.
    Kieran’s incredible teaching has progressed me from being a novice bassist playing for fun to a musician aiming for a career in the performance industry, backed up by the technical ability and theoretical knowledge he’s passed on to me.

    Highly recommend Kieran as a guitar teacher. Incredibly knowledgeable, patient and explains things in a really clear way. Lessons are super productive but also fun at the same time.
    Can confidently say that Kieran has improved my guitar playing and theory knowledge more in the last 3 lessons than Ive managed to in the last 3 years of trying to teach myself!

    Kieran is a fabulous teacher! I’ve been learning with him for over 2 years, and in that time I’ve grown in confidence, knowledge and skill level in the guitar. He makes lessons really fun and accessible, and takes your personal goals into account when planning. He offers (and makes!) excellent resources to assist learning and his teaching is exceptional.
    Even though I was originally daunted at the task of learning music theory, Kieran broke it down and made it seem simple, even quite advanced concepts.
    He’s really encouraging, will be really patient when you need more time to understand or get the hang of something, and will also challenge you to continually become a better guitarist.
    Cannot recommend Kieran enough!

    Kieran is terrific with my 12 year old son - a lovely gentle manner, great fun and the first guitar teacher that my son really looks forward to seeing. Making great progress and the remote lessons work really well. Highly recommended.
