I'm Derek Hasted - a busy & successful guitar teacher - I'd like to teach you to play Classical Guitar
Classical Guitar is a timeless, relaxing hobby.
I won't just teach you the mechanics, you'll replay music from the past, discover new music, learn to interpret it.
I teach in a relaxed, informal, positive, enjoyable way - you'll understand music and its meaning, not just play notes
- Never played in your life? I'll be your guide; complete beginners always welcome!
- Worried you've left it too late to learn? Not at all! Bespoke lessons at your pace - retired folk very welcome
- Experienced but want to progress further? I'll lift your tone, technique, phrasing & musicianship higher
- Want coaching for practical or theory exams? My pass rate is 100% - I explain, I don't just teach
"Guitar" is my career, my passion. I'm involved in much more than just teaching guitar. I offer every student...
- A teaching Diploma backed with over 25 years' experience
- A fully-equipped teaching room with vibrant acoustics, restful outlook, bright lighting, comfortable chairs
- A relaxed, structured & professional approach
- Comprehensive free handouts & study notes; optional CDs & free MIDI files to help & inspire
- Every lesson prepared in advance and tailored to give you a real sense of achievement without pressure
- Opportunities to enjoy even more - concerts, social evenings, festivals, ensembles...
