Benefits of Learning Music
‘Why Do I Need a Guitar Teacher’?
In this age of INTERNET, hundreds of free tutorials are available. Tabs and video tutorials of almost all the songs and musical pieces can be found. So why a teacher? The same question can be asked about knowledge, knowledge is available everywhere. Yet we go to school, college and eventually university to acquire that. Its because the systematic way through which they provide the knowledge. A teacher is like a coach. With the help of a GOOD COACH success can be achieved much faster. The same goes for learning music. In addition, playing guitar requires fine motor skills which come from hours of practice. However, if the practice is done wrong, a learner will adopt flawed playing techniques which will drastically limit the versatility of his/her guitar playing in the long run. It is also very difficult to amend any of those technical flaws once it’s been developed so always a better idea to have a mentor. Remember, EVERY GREAT ATHLETE HAS A COACH AND EVERY GREAT MUSICIAN HAS A MENTOR.

What They Said
"“Very well structured lessons and he is very patient with his approach, loving the lessons and improving my guitar skills everyday!”"
"“My 8 year old son was losing interest in guitar and not making much progress. But once he started taking lessons from Maxim, I could see the improvement much faster and he got his confidence back. Maxim truly cares about his students’ progress which really helps.”"
"“So I brought a guitar on a whim during Boxing Day sales… I’m very passionate about the music I like. I realised pretty quick that teaching myself guitar was not going to work. I’m the furthest thing from jimi hendrix there is. Decided I need lessons, ended up with Maxim, whilst I still don’t practice enough, he understands exactly where I’m at, he is patient, concise and Genuinely wants me to play the guitar great. Could not be happier with my mentor…” "
"“I have been bashing away at the guitar for 20 years. I have had numerous teachers over the years and never found any of them could satisfactorily teach the diverse aspects of making music with a guitar.Maxim’s methodology emphasises understanding why you are doing certain things in a certain way and not simply becoming technically proficient. This is what sets him apart from the typical guitar teacher.Every lesson is fun and challenging and I feel and hear myself improving during the lesson. Importantly, he always provides practice lessons so that you can build on the lesson in your own time (without wasting time just bashing away like I have done for such a long time) in preparation for the next one.He is a true teacher and not just an excellent guitar player (he is that as well). The cherry on top is that he is also a really good bloke.I wish he was around 20 years ago!”"
"I contacted Maxim mid-2018 to help me learn to play the guitar and forever grateful I did… His enthusiasm, professionalism, patience, organisation and general demeanour showed towards me during this time, has been nothing short of class. I wanted a structured plan and had a list of songs I wanted to learn over time. He came up with a lesson plan and broke things down simply which allowed me to gain confidence and improve. I could have never imagined 12 weeks ago when I started from scratch that I’d be playing several songs of different style and progression, with theory in between. One of the main things I liked about Maxim is that I pay for a service and view it as an investment. Maxim is always on the ball, organised which in turn makes it efficient & worth it. I encourage you to get a lesson from him, you will not regret it. Thanks again Maxim for helping me learn the art of Guitar.”"
"Jack continues to be inspired in his playing, so i thank you again for your teaching diligence. I think that we both agree that he is making good progress with really very little mental anguish due to his natural enjoyment of the instrument and style of music that you teach."
"I thoroughly enjoyed my 16 x lessons with Maxim, where I went from a beginner to being able to competently play some basic songs that I enjoy around the campfire for myself and my friends. Maxim is extremely friendly and keen to offer as much support as you require, as well as tailoring lessons to suit your own personal interests. The online lesson content after each 1 hour face to face session is also an awesome feature that keeps you committed to improving your guitar playing."
