“It's going to be FUN! A fantastic experience with Guitar Tuition East London! The instructors Dan and Darryl are knowledgeable, super patient, and really passionate about teaching.


The lessons are always well-structured, and balanced between challenging and enjoyable. I've seen my progress and skills steadily increase. Just being able to read the music on the white board is a total surprise to myself.

“Fun, friendly and professional guitar lessons. Dan is very passionate about guitar and a natural teacher. My 10 year old son loves his lessons - Dan is so good at keeping the kids engaged and my son is always so proud to show me what he has learned that day!


My husband and I are not musical at all but Dan has supported us with instrument suggestions and even re-strung my son’s guitar. These lessons are worth every penny, thank you to Dan and the brilliant team!
