About Steve
I have taught in my private capacity working from home for 25 years, and have tutored at schools and institutions such as St Johns in Johannesburg and Greenwood Bay College in Plettenberg Bay. I have produced players from other schools and colleges as well over the years. My focus is to teach the instrument by grooming players and preparing them for live Performance Arts.

I approach each of my students on an individual basis. For example, my student may want to learn about the key he or she is playing in. Or they may want to improve on their chord knowledge or solo playing. In order to improve one's playing skills and technique, we need to learn the instrument. The best way to do this is to pick a well-written, well-played tune that both the teacher and student agree on. The next step would be to learn the chords and lead parts, to be able to play the tune. Once that's happened, we then do a breakdown of the key in order to understand the progression and which scales we are playing for the solo and so on. It is imperative to know what one is playing and why, in order to learn the instrument. For example, if the progression was Am F Dm and G, the tune would be in the key of C major. C is therefore 1 written in Roman numerals. Am6 F4 Dm2 and G5. There are a number of reasons for this. The key could also be in Am as Am is the relative minor of C. The solo would therefore be in C Major. This is a simple example because there can be a number of other variations that can change things. Music is math, and it is best to work with the numbers to understand the systems that govern music! Then there's technique, tone, hand positions, loud and soft relating to expression and feel, etc. Good teachers should be able to school their students in all these aspects in order to produce confident, knowledgeable players. I could write an entire book on the subject! Do we hear a piece or do we listen with intention to pitch? We actually need to do both. In the first instance, we should listen to enjoy the piece but also listen critically to be able to work the parts out, and then perhaps rearrange the piece into another style.

Steve is a brilliant teacher and a genius musician. His teachings unlocked the guitar for me. I always be grateful.
I love the way he teaches.. His strategy is clever and fun. Not your usual kinds teacher... He has a really good way explaining and showing you the rite way and also lots of fun. No boaring lessons here.....
I met Steve in a caravan camp in Ramsgate. Master guitar player and tutor. Also took some lessons to better my existing skills and knowledge. This guy know his music and guitar.
I took lessons with Steve for 3 years and found him to be professional , knowledgable with a wealth of experience . Steve was understanding of my needs as a mature student and what my goals were and helped me achieve what I set out to do. He is a great teacher and it was a privilege to know him.
I highly recommend Steve as he is the very best guitar and music tutor on the planet!
If you want your child to not only play the guitar to an exceptional standard and you want to ensure their grasp of the subject is based on a passion for music, then Steve is the best specialist for the job at hand.View more recommendations
