About me

● 30+ years teaching experience
● Enhanced DBS check
● MA, BA HONS, PGCE, Guitar Institute (ICMP) Diploma. RGT member

I started playing the guitar at 16 and attended the Guitar Institute (now the ICMP) where I studied all styles of music from pop, rock, blues and metal through to jazz, funk and finger-style.

I have over 30 years guitar teaching experience, am a fully qualified school teacher (PGCE) and have an MA in Education. My students have varied from ages 4 to 60, from total beginners through to serious players and songwriters.

Whatever you age, ambition or playing level, from Beginners to Intermediate and Advanced players, I will be able to help you make fast progress and grow as a musician whilst having as much fun as possible!

I have performed, written and recorded with numerous originals and covers bands. You can check out my music production website at www.jameskirschmusic.com
