Giles said: Dylan made the class loads of fun, easy to follow and got us all playing in the first week. I've already recommended the course to friends and I'll be back for the intermediate class later in the year. Excellent!!

Natalie said: This was fantastic! Dylan is a wonderful teacher - he teaches in a really thoughtful and intentional way giving us a variety of music to develop different skills. He also gives us space to practice and learn while also leaving room for our brains and hands to rest as he chats through concepts. I really appreciated the teaching approach. While i wasn't apprehensive at all, I also enjoyed learning in a group environment way more than i thought i would - i wouldn't do it differently!

Samuel said: Dylan is a really great teacher with his friendly and down to earth manner. He went into enough technical detail to help us understand the background of playing guitar and reading music sheets without making it overwhelming. The small group atmosphere made for a very comfortable learning environment. This is a fantastic course and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn guitar basics in a fun, friendly and engaging atmosphere. I found the course so inspiring that I'll be signing up to the intermediate course next to continue my guitar learning journey!
