English
Patience, variety and making sure the student is comfortable through all lessons is my main aim. All lessons are written up and extra outer lesson study materials are send to help each student progress in their own time and at their chosen pace.
I always make sure the student is learning material and at a pace that is enjoyable for them, rather than just pushing teachings and pressures onto them. Collaborating with the student is a vital part of my teachings, from making sure they are comfortable with what specific works and scripts they prefer to learn and work with.
I also like to take time to work on the emotional side of acting, wether this be script work, or character work
helping the student to become better and more confident working independently so we can keep moving forward throughout the future lessons.
For me every student is different and I love to cater to how they want to learn and will always make sure we can work together to get the most out of our time together and help them become the musician they want to become.

Perfect! I just had my first session with Jay and he is super friendly, professional and knowledgeable in not just the music but also the audition process and what I would need to succeed. Looking forward to more lessons!
- So good to meet Madhav, a great first lesson. We worked out a plan of action and exactly what he needed and wanted out of the lessons. He’s very professional and hardworking, I look forward to our future lessons.Jay's response :

Amazing tutor who gives my 11 year old son electric guitar lessons each week. My sons enthusiasm and progress with the guitar have increased massively since his first lesson with Jay. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to learn or improve their guitar skillls.
Jay is a passionate and caring teacher who understands how to approach lessons for all different age groups.
His love of singing and teaching shines through in all his lessons.
The students connect with him and there is always joy in his class. The perfect balance between fun and learning.
Cannot recommend highly enough!I Have worked in the Entertainment industry most of my Life and worked with many Professional people. Jay is one of the most professional and dedicated teachers I have had the privilege to have known . I would have no hesitation to reccommend him.
Jay is an excellent guitarist and an excellent teacher. He is always patient, trustworthy and gives personal guidance for each of his students. I learnt so much from him and is an all round top bloke. I throughly recommend him as a teacher.
I first saw Jay playing lead guitar with a band called Big 3 at "would you believe " The Cavern, Yep! In Liverpool. They were fabulous! Jay's guitar playing was outstanding.
I managed to speak to Jay and the other performers after the show, and I suggested that Jay should be out there teaching people to play the guitar as well as he did. Jay told me that he has his own website and teaches guitar online. I have since started having guitar lessons with Jay and I am overwhelmed with the progress I have made, my friends are really impressed with what I have learnt in such a short time. Jay's teaching methods and his skillful ability to demonstrate pure guitar playing is second to none. I recommend, if you want to learn skillful guitar playing get in touch with this guy.Lovely chap and very patient with my limited guitar skills. Encouraging me at different stages and has given me the confidence to improve!
I have been taught by Jay for about a year now and have been having 1-2-1 lessons in Music Production online.
He is so patient and knowledgeable about recording and mixing and has a great passion for passing on everything he knows and is experienced in. I couldn’t rate him higher as a teacher and would recommend him to any student looking to learn Music Production, Guitar or Singing.Jay worked for me as lead guitarist on a No 1 UK theatre tour, and has worked both for and with several of my colleagues.
Jay is everything you could want in a music tutor. He is a skilled soloist always nailing the fine line between being expressive and creative whilst remaining appropriate and contextual. He has the perfect bearing for teaching as someone who is thoroughly supportive whilst allowing room for personal growth and expression.
Cannot recommend highly enough.Jay is a really talented musician and is really inspiring. He has really helped me develop my skills, grow in confidence and has been so patient! Would highly recommend.
Jay is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced at so many different genres and styles! He was able to help me set goals for my practice and patiently broke everything down into easy-to-understand lessons. I already feel more confident with my skills! Totally recommend!
Jay is a hugely experienced and educated teacher, with some huge credits to his name. He has great patience, understanding and massive technical skill that will enhance anyone’s playing at any level!
Jay is fab and always makes our lessons fun. I like that he teaches a wide range of styles and has such a huge knowledge of his craft. He’s really good at adapting lessons for my ability and preferences! He’s very flexible as well with when he is around for lessons which helps with a busy and changing schedule. Would very much recommend.
