About Glen

Hello, I was born in England but grew up in Germany. My experience lies in teaching comprehensive guitar lessons to both children and older students alike while cultivating an environment that stimulates increasing and ongoing music appreciation. Along with my teaching accomplishments, I have also held prestigious professional positions, as an Instructor with the Stuttgart Music Academy (Germany), Filder Music School, ran my own private music studio leading numerous students to succeed in their aspirations to musicality.

Having been an active musician myself helps me to be very practical with my students in terms of music application and appreciation. Furthermore, I am very flexible and creative with any given music material and also incorporating music technology, software, and computer skills with both teaching and music production. Most especially learning an instrument should be fun.

My competency also lies in the fact that I have produced several works already published. I teach guitar to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students. You will learn songs, notes, music theory, rhythm, technique, and much more. Sounding original and not mechanical right from the start and knowing what makes music really work is crucial to an overall successful experience. In addition, I am very patient and flexible in that the student is encouraged to bring music pieces they are working on apart from lessons. Lastly, the joy it brings when you see yourself making progress and achieving your goals is invaluable.
