I'm Derek Hasted - a busy & successful guitar teacher in Bedhampton, Havant

I'd like to teach you to play Classical Guitar

Classical Guitar is a timeless, relaxing hobby.

• I don't just teach mechanics - you'll play music from the past, enjoy new music, learn to interpret it.

 

Learn music in a relaxed, informal, positive way - understand 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! Lessons at your pace - retired folk very welcome
• Experienced but want to progress further? I'll lift your tone, technique, phrasing & musicianship higher
• Coaching for practical or theory exams? 100% pass rate - I explain as well as teach!

 

Guitar is my career, my passion. I'm involved in much more than just teaching...

• A teaching Diploma & 25+ years' experience of a relaxed, structured, professional approach
• A well-equipped teaching room - vibrant acoustic, restful outlook, bright lighting, comfortable chairs
• Free handouts & study notes; optional CDs & free sound files to help & inspire
• Bespoke lessons prepared in advance & tailored to give you achievement without pressure
• Opportunities to enjoy concerts, social evenings, festivals, ensembles...
