About Me

learning an instrument was something I always wanted to do but it was 'too hard' and I wasn't 'good enough.' I broke both my wrists and struggled with dexterity and patience.

In my 4th year as a teacher I visited Hawaii for a drumming course. I stumbled onto the Uke, fell in love with it and have helped introduce it into hundreds of students.

I've taught students dance drama and music and taught teachers how to teach those performing arts. I don't teach performing seals but if you're interested in learning the uke, developing your confidence whilst playing, challenging yourself and having some laughs along the way, I can help you.

Acting is a tough business. As an actor, producer and director I have been on both sides of the audition process. My goal is to facilitate a safe work space where the actor can make mistakes, explore their roles and creativity in preparation for work in an industry which will say "no' more often than 'yes'. This class will teach students, of all ages, acting techniques to develop their own skills explore roles through a creative methodology and build confidence in their dramatic works, presentations or public speeches.

Fun & Inspiring Online Guitar Lessons with Expert Tutor
* Learn your favourite songs * Learn musicianship skills * Learn techniques such as strumming, plectrum, and fingerpicking * Learn to improvise * Flexible and student-centred approach * Lessons tailored to the student's interests * Option to take grade exams * All styles and abilities welcome I teach Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Mandolin, Ukulele, Guitar Theory and Songwriting I am a professional musician and have performed at Barbican Centre, South Bank Centre, Royal Albert Hall and live on the BBC. My music has been aired on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky and other media worldwide. I have taught guitar for over 15 years. I trained with The DaCapo Music Foundation where I was a Senior Teacher and Mentor. I currently teach privately and at Christchurch School, Chelsea. I hold a First Class BA Honours in Music and have an up-to-date DBS Certificate. “An artist to watch” BBC London
 “I’m really loving the feels of that” BBC Introducing “Filled with delicate nuances” Folk Radio TESTIMONIALS: "My son has had Josh as a guitar tutor for 6 years. I can highly recommend him. He has a fantastic manner and rapport with his students. He is an exceptionally skilled guitar player and tutor. My son has made phenomenal progress with Josh and has enjoyed working with Josh towards his Trinity Grades in classical guitar. In addition, Josh has motivated my son to compose his own music - with fabulous results." Amanda "Josh is very talented. He is flexible about what we play and finds things that suit my ability. He creates a fun environment to learn." Arthur, aged 14 "Josh has been teaching my son electric and electro-acoustic guitar for a year. His stimulating and relaxed approach means that I find my son plays his guitar on a daily basis just because he enjoys it, yet he is still covering quite a lot of technical stuff." Polly "My 12-year old daughter has been taking guitar classes with Joshua Geffin for over a year now. Previously she tried a couple of different instruments and music teachers but even though she is very musical and loves music, she would get bored and lose interest after a while. Josh’s inspirational and creative approach to teaching changed all this. She became passionate about playing her guitar, singing and writing her own music. Practicing is no longer a chore but fun and she looks forward to her class every week. In a relatively short period she made remarkable progress and has recently won a full music scholarship at Kingsdale." Duska "I took up the guitar in my 30s and am far from a natural musician! I’ve had a few teachers – all brilliant guitarists - but none have quite combined the same high level of patience, encouragement and flexibility as Josh. He let’s me play music I love and progress at my own pace. As a ‘mature’ student with an incredibly busy job, it is important that I don’t feel under pressure if I haven’t played between lessons. Josh is completely understanding of this and the fact that he teaches at my home is a massive bonus. He is a natural and talented teacher and I would not hesitate to recommend his lessons to anyone of any level." Jeanette "I have been having lessons with Josh for around 2 years now. He has really helped develop and improve the quality of my playing and also my appreciation of music as a whole and I am very happy with my progress. The lessons are always relaxed and enjoyable, but also professional with a focus and tailor-made according to my own personal goals, which I like. I prefer to concentrate on learning songs and to experiment with a variety of genres. Josh helps me do that and he keeps things fun by mixing in improvisation sessions and technique development to bring me on and help me improve as a player." Pete

The guitar lessons are partly theory and partly practice. During the first guitar lesson I first look at the starting level. This is different for each guitar student. You can follow guitar lessons for both the acoustic guitar and the electric guitar. With electric guitar lessons, developing your own sound using guitar effects is also part of the guitar lesson.

Justin
Guitar/Bass/Ukulele Lessons! Over 15 years of teaching experience
My main teaching philosophy is to teach students to play the music they enjoy. It sounds like a no-brainer but I have had teachers in the past who only showed me songs that they enjoyed or used method books that teach you "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or "Hot Crossed Buns" (and if you like those songs then we can learn those). All that to say, whatever the student's goal on the instrument, I will take them step by step until they reach it. For a beginning musician, the fundamentals of the instrument are given the highest priority: how to tune your instrument, names of all the notes, essential chords, basic strumming, playing in time, and understanding basic rhythm. For someone who already plays but needs a little help getting out of the rut, we'll spend time fixing bad technical habits, hammering home the fundamentals, expanding their repertoire, and slowly moving outside of the comfort zone to new horizons. With advanced players, listening (ear training), transcribing, song analysis, exploring advanced theory concepts, and focusing on composition and improvisation are most important. With all levels of students, I make playlists that I update after each lesson so they can hear real examples of what we are covering, as well as provide detailed written notes in TAB and standard notation so they can refer to everything we covered and know what to practice. Also, it's fun!

Miko
Guitar lessons -all styles- in Naninne (Namur) and surroundings
- About the course-- My method is to work the technique and the musicality at the beginning of the tastes of the student so that the objectives are always stimulating. I try to develop as quickly as possible to the students, that is to say to make them able to target their own difficulties and to invent the exercises to solve them. --About me-- I am a guitar teacher for over 15 years, privately, music school (Kraainem, Waterloo, Enghien) and internship (AKDT). I started the guitar 25 years ago and have never stopped. I went through all styles: from classical to pop songs and then to electric guitar: blues, rock and then jazz (with Frankie Rose). Later, I developed flamenco (with Karim Baggili), Brazilian (with Osman Martins), gypsy music and Eastern European music (with Tcha Limberger). I am also versed in gypsy jazz. I can give classes of any level and any style. I give the theory in parallel of what is worked so that it enters in a passive way. I have experience with children as well as adults. I also teach electric bass and ukulele.

Alejandro
Learn guitar or ukulele in French or Spanish!
I am a Mexican musician living in the Parisian suburbs. I have more than 20 years as a guitarist and more than 10 years as a guitar teacher in Mexico. My specialty is Latin music and Latin American folklore; however, other genres can be practiced mainly on the acoustic guitar or the ukulele. I try to combine theory with practice so that I can start making music and enjoy the instrument from the start. Music has taken me to play in Mexico, United States, Costa Rica, France, Poland, Spain, Portugal and Germany. I can teach in Spanish, English or French.
