Southampton Guitar Academy

In these difficult times it’s really important to me to have the ability to continue having lessons with Marcus and whilst it’ll never quite replace a face to face session it’s really close.

I like Marcus relaxed down-to-earth manner, dry sense of humour, and entertaining use of metaphor, which has helped me grasp a series of physical techniques for arm, hand and finger dexterity.

His laid back style enables lessons to be very flexible, you can learn to play the music you like, or follow a structured course, or meander anywhere between.

Marcus has done this by taking a careful and thoughtful approach to what would work best for what my son wants in terms of progression.

Marcus is an inspiring and passionate teacher who encourages you to develop your own interests and provides you with the guidance to do so.

As an online colleague Marcus is extremely interested in furthering himself as a teacher and ensuring the best teching outcome for his students

He makes you learn by playing your favourite songs while at the same time introduces you to theoretical contents.

Marcus has the rare quality of being an excellent teacher and excellent musician, always trying new ideas and striving to find the best way of passing on his knowledge, highly recommended.

Marcus is not only a great guitarist but also has an in depth technical knowledge of the music theory behind it and can teach it at a rate the student can absorb without being overwhelmed or bored.

I have been self taught for 4 years and after a couple of months of lessons with him I have improved faster than ever.
