Styles taught

Robin Hulbert BMus(Hons)

Teaching environment

I teach complete beginners, as well as existing guitarists wishing to advance in areas such as theory, technique, song writing, sight reading, composing, altered tuning, as well as speed and technical dexterity. With close attention to physical technique to promote economy of movement in order to make guitar playing physically much easier.

I show my customers how to make use of any or all of the guitar techniques I use, such as; rhythm style, finger picking, sweep picking, economy picking, legato, and tapping. And show how these techniques may be applied to different musical styles.

Qualifications

I have an Honours Degree in Music from The Guitar Institute London (original London guitar school in existence from 1985 to 2007).

Theory

I teach all levels of music theory from beginners to guitarists who need extra help with music courses such as GCSE's, A levels, and Degrees. And for guitarists who want to develop their own personal knowledge of music theory.

The customers personal interest

The customers own personal musical interest and ambition is of most importance to the way I plan their lesson. All theory and technique is taught in such a way that it will be in context with the customers own style for their instant practical use.

I teach guitar from my own home where I have created a welcoming and well presented environment for the customer.

I use chord sheets, guitar tablature (TAB), manuscript paper, and matrix editor screen-shots (for guitarists who use computer music software such as Logic or Cubase). I also offer transcriptions for absolutely any piece of music you like.

All chords and music taught will be neatly hand written for the customer to take away and continue to learn from. Backing tracks to play along with are also made and given out on CD where relevant.
