WHAT STUDENTS SAY
Kind words from my students
Patience, and Genuine Enthusiasm for the Guitar
“Studying the guitar with Ron was a fulfilling experience. He gave thorough attention to every aspect of the skill, from posture to playing technique to scales, all with unwavering patience and humour. His genuine enthusiasm for the instrument and it’s many expressive capabilities made learning and playing a thrill. Highly recommended!”
– Hugh Savill
From Strumming Basics to Grade 8: A Year of Transformation
“I began my journey with Ron when I was just six years old, with only minimal experience in playing guitar. Within just a year, I made significant progress under his professional guidance, evolving from barely playing a scale to reaching grade eight in classical guitar. My experience with Ron has been exceptional, his teaching style blends humor with strategic mentorship, which has consistently built up my confidence and abilities over time.”
– Siva Chinnappan
Returning to Guitar After 15 Years – and Reaching New Heights
“After putting down my guitar for 15 years I finally blew off the dust and went in search of a teacher. I needed someone with a passion for the instrument who knew the repertoire and who could raise my playing to the next level. Ron ticked all the boxes. With his 40-plus years of experience and undeniable gift for teaching, Ron introduced me to new works and inspired me to learn pieces I never thought possible, like Ponce’s “Variations” and Bach’s “Chaconne”. For anyone considering a return to playing or picking up the instrument for the first time, I couldn’t recommend Ron highly enough.”
