Jim Kelleher

Classical Guitarist

Surrey/Hampshire UK

The guitar is a wonderfully versatile instrument, lending itself to a huge variety of styles. Over the past 20 years I have taught music as diverse as 16th century lute pieces, through to modern acoustic fingerstyle. Playing an instrument is both fun and highly therapeutic and the guitar is one of only a few truly solo instruments.

With over 20 years' teaching experience as a private tutor I can offer one-to-one online tuition in the comfort of your own home via Zoom. My lessons are geared towards adults, either to improve upon a new musical skill or to rekindle a previous love of the guitar.

Due to the limitations of online tuition, I can only take on students who have a basic grasp of the instrument and are able to tune their guitar. For those wishing to study for exams, I teach the Trinity Guildhall classical syllabus and my students have a 100% pass rate.

Lessons are structured around the individual student, with the emphasis firmly on the enjoyment of playing an instrument and the pleasure of being able to express oneself through music.

Of course, exams are not for everyone. Many of my lessons are tailored around learning particular music or musical styles, incorporating the relevant music theory and technique.

To get the best experience from online lessons, the basic requirements are:

  1. English speaking

  2. A good broadband connection

  3. A good webcam and microphone

  4. An email account to receive scores and tabs

  5. A PayPal account or the facility for online BACS payment

Lessons can be either regular or as and when you want them. The cost of a 60 minute lesson is £30 GBP, which is payable a minimum 12 hours before the lesson.

If you would like lessons or have some questions, please contact me and let me know about yourself and your playing.

Thank you for visiting and I look forward to hearing from you.
