Sheffield Guitar Studio

Jon is a great guitar teacher. I've been learning for about 9 months and started from no experience of music whatsoever. Jon's done a great job of helping me understand the music I like and how to progress this on guitar.The lessons are always informative and fun, they don't feel rushed but they're always over too quickly. Jon's great at out of lesson support and will pull materials or demos together really quickly to help me practice at home. His rule is, 'we don't practice unless you like the music' which is great and keeps me engaged. His knowledge of music and music theory is clearly excellent but he does a great job of translating the bits you need to know.Most importantly, Jon's a really great guy, friendly and easy to talk to. The lessons are good value for money too which is a bonus.

Jonathan is a passionate and highly skilled guitar tutor. His lessons bring joy and inspiration to our 16 year old daughter, who was previously struggling to stay motivated to learn. Lessons are great fun and based around her favourite music, building up full songs" to a high standard that are a pleasure to listen to. She always looks forward to lessons and really likes the set up at the Studio and Jonathan's teaching style. Online material is an additional bonus and she has plenty to work on between lessons. Jonathan is very flexible and accommodates our changing needs

Jonathan makes it all so easy and simple, even for an absolute beginner like myself. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely wants you to do well. Lessons are very laid back and relaxed and he has a set up that makes it easy for you to learn and practice whilst at home too. I would definitely recommend Jonathan and Sheffield Guitar Studio for anyone wanting to learn guitar. 5*.

It was very easy to arrange the initial lessons. Jonathan called us straight back and gave us lots of information and some ideas to bring for the first session. We were pleased with the free taster session as this is for our 8 year old. Jonathan is very good with her and tells her what her focus should be on practising each week (mostly that you can’t practise enough). He engages well with her and it’s very clear he has a lot of experience playing and teaching guitar. The sessions are fun too so we have no issues getting our 8 year old to comply with her lessons. We would highly recommend Jonathan as we can already see improvements in our daughters practice after a couple of months.

Jonathan is currently teaching me how to play electric guitar which is something I’ve wanted to do for a number of years. I looked round at other tutors in the area on line before contacting Jonathan to see if he could help.He was offering 30 or 60 minute lessons which others don’t always do, and also at a time in the evening that works around my other commitments. Others only had day classes which don’t suit me.He is a fantastic tutor with such vast amounts of knowledge and skill on the guitar. He immediately made it seem possible and didn’t make me feel silly wanting to do this at 47 years old.He explains things really well and shows you how to play each note and chord as well as giving advice and feedback to help you improve.He sends over song sheets to enable you to practice at home between your lessons. And also is available to contact for help between lessons.He’s easy to get along with, and the studio at his home has a welcoming feel which immediately puts you at ease so that you can concentrate on learning.Jonathan has also given me advice on upgrading my guitar and amp to improve the whole experience.I’ve been learning for around 3 months now and having such a great time and feel I’m making good progress so I’ve increased my weekly lesson from 30 to 60 minutes.Thank you Jonathan you are a real star!

Not only is Jonathan an incredibly patient and helpful teacher but he also has a great sense of humour and (more importantly) a wonderful dog who is always happy to greet you!Not a fan of dogs? No problem! Bruno is only allowed to say hi when you ask to meet him and it's hard not to want to.Actually about learning guitar with Jonathan though, it's hard not to lov playing guitar when you have a teacher so passionate and supportive. Even on weeks when I haven't practiced, he's always there to guide me along and pretend not to cringe when I horrifically mess up certain chords.

I’m a pupil and I love the lessons! Jon is a very good teacher and very enthusiastic about guitar and that helps you to learn. I would definitely recommend to other people! 10/10!

Johnathon helped me get out of a lull in my playing, a very much needed, professional intervention that has transformed the way I approach practicing and taken me to the next step in my playing and understanding. Fantastic teacher could not recommend enough!

Initially I chose to take guitar lessons with Johnathan due to his local location to myself, the professional website and the excellent reviews I came across online, the latter proved to be very accurate.After my first lesson with Johnathan I knew I had found a great teacher, going into the lesson as a 28 year old who has never played an instrument properly" I was slightly nervous but Johnathan put me at ease from the off. He listened attentively to my current situation

If you are thinking of learning to play the guitar then Jonathan is the perfect tutor. He has the knowledge, skill and patience to help you get the most enjoyment out of playing this great instrument.
