Hello and thanks
for taking the time to visit my site. I am a guitarist who plays and teaches
in the Sheffield area. I have been teaching for over five years privately
from my studio in Totley on the outskirts of the city and also in local schools
for Sheffield Music Services.
The styles I teach are Rock, Blues, Classical, Acoustic, Fingerstyle &
Jazz.
I also teach sight reading and improvisation.
The teaching area is a in what used to be a garage which has been converted into a state of the art Studio with a full drum kit, keyboards, guitars and amplifiers. I also have computer based teaching aids and recording equipment where students can record their progress.
The site is designed to give a brief introduction to the teaching services I provide as well as links to my group and the studio facilities.
I first started to play the guitar over thirty years ago and have played in many bands duets and as a solo artist.
My current group is The Harley Earl Blues Band. We are a four piece group playing Chicargo Blues covers some and original material written by myself especially for the group.
I also formed the oddly named Half Lung Club with bass player Rick Colbeck and enjoyed a regular slot playing fingerstyle acoustic mood music in a local wine bar. This also led to my first album.
I hope you find the site useful and interesting.
