Richard is a fantastic guitar teacher and top quality guy. He knows his music inside out and teaches a whole range of styles. The catalogue of music he has to offer in a professional home recording studio will certainly cater for all styles of music. It is clear that he is passionate about music and wants nothing but the best for his students, whether they are taking up guitar as a hobby or want to persue a career in music. Not all guitar teachers are able to listen to a song or watch a video and immediately replicate what is being played. This was something that I always found fascinating and inspiring in his lessons. His lessons were very professional but the atmosphere was always relaxing and felt like a chilled out jamming session. He also has a broad knowledge of all equipment types including guitars, amps, live recording etc, and helped me make many decisions when it came to purchasing gear in the past. I was taught by Richard for 4 and a half years and I was extremely sad that my tuition had come to an end. I had a lot of fun writing my own music, recording my own takes on songs and learning all genres of music. One of Peterborough's finest.

I have been working with Richard as a student for nearly two years. He teaches me bass guitar and prior to starting with him I had never even picked up a musical instrument let alone a guitar. I can now play along to songs, read tablature and generally enjoy music on a different level to before. All of this has been accomplished despite having limited use of the fingers on my left hand. As a 'professional' academic I have found Richard's approach methodical, innovative and inspirational. He is capable of 'tuning in' to the needs of his students and identifying the pace at which they can learn. This is not to say he will allow me to 'bump along' - he suggests songs that will stretch my abilities and challenge my own musical tastes. He is patient yet persistent and capable of using a range of different teaching techniques to help me make sense of my instrument - for example using voice, clapping, CD recording and highlighting the mathematical underpinning of music as tools. He has also advised me on the choice of instrument, introduced me to new musical genres and is always ready to listen to my thoughts and ideas. As a musician Richard has a strong pedigree and can speak from an experienced professional perspective and yet he never appears to be intimidating or condescending with his comments. I have recommended him to my friends and would have no hesitation in commending his studio to prospective students regardless of their own musical ability
