Hi! I’m Mike Elliott and I’ve set up this site to let you know about “Guitar Lessons Cork”. I’ve been playing and teaching guitar for over 30 years, and for the last few years I’ve been giving private guitar lessons in the Wilton area of Cork City.
Thankfully, many of my students keep coming back for more, and also sending their friends and family to me for lessons as well. Having fun seems to be infectious! I often take a couple of friends or family members together for lessons, and I’m now also offering group lessons.
My guitar students range from 8 years old through to those taking it up as a retirement hobby. Many are complete beginners and others have been playing for a while and are seeking to take their guitar playing to the next level or in a new direction. All have one thing in common – a desire to learn or improve on the guitar.
Playing the guitar is a great hobby that can bring you many years of enjoyment. It’s a great way to relax, and also to bring out your creative side. Like anything worth doing, it also takes a commitment of time and effort to get the most out of it. My aim as a guitar teacher is to guide you along your journey step by step, helping you to correct the mistakes that you’re going to make along the way, and developing your skills.
I’ll encourage you when you get frustrated with it, and try to provide new ideas when you need them. You might think that everything you need to learn the guitar is available in books and on the internet – there is certainly plenty of material out there, but where I can make the difference is in coaching you along the way, providing feedback on your playing, and helping you set and achieve your guitar playing goals.
Whatever your style, tastes and age, I can help you to learn to play the guitar the way you have always dreamed about. Lessons are designed to suit your guitar technique, musical tastes and level of ability. I’ll teach you the music theory you need to ‘join the dots’ and help you understand the practical guitar skills that you’re learning, but the emphasis is always on ‘hands on’ learning, and helping you to enjoy playing the guitar.
