About Steve

Steve is an experienced concert guitarist offering guitar lessons for players at all levels. He specialises in teaching acoustic and classical / Spanish guitar but also enjoys teaching electric guitar.

Beginners are particularly welcome.

His style of teaching is patient and he works with the strengths of students, helping them to progress quickly. Over 25 years that Steve has been teaching full-time, he has taught hundreds of people of all ages, many of whom have taken the graded examinations in Classical guitar offered by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (so far over 200 successful candidates) also the Rock School examinations in Electric guitar offered by Trinity Guildhall.

Steve assumes that you wish to progress quickly in your ability to play the guitar. For that reason he uses the Tobin Colour method, which his father Chris Dell helped to develop in the 1970s and 1980s. Using this method, learning to read music, which many people assume is very difficult, is simplified and made engaging and fun. He guarantees you will be playing simple tunes by the end of your first lesson.
