Lee said: I had bever played a note on the guitar before the course and had put off starting through fear of the unknown. I enjoyed the group learning environment comprising students with mixed experience and ability but with a common goal - to learn and have fun.

Jan said: I think Dylan is a great teacher. Clear measured explanations and fun. I liked how each week we were given a more challenging piece without ever being made to feel awkward if one couldn’t play it next time. I could have listened to him playing all the time.
