“I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to Richard Hillyer. His coaching methods are the best I’ve ever encountered. Always full of praise but also not afraid to say if something isn’t quite how it should be & what I really like is his calm manner & also his understanding of what each student needs on their musical journey. I cant reccomend Richard enough for anyone wanting to take up playing the guitar. Thankyou “

“Rich has been my guitar teacher for many years. He is patient, understanding and very professional. He has taught me so many different approaches to guitar and playing different styles. I would thoroughly recommend Rich as a teacher and as a excellent musician.

Mark Kennedy

“Rich has been my guitar teacher for a few years now. His knowledge of music theory and guitar ability are inspiring. Rich is incredibly patient and supported me to be a better and more accomplished guitar player.
100% recommend Rich for all levels of guitar player!”

Ryan Taylor

“Rich is one of the best teachers in the business! I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years, but always lacked a good level of theory. Rich tailored our lessons to suit my needs and has given me exactly what I needed. His teaching method is great, and he always explains things concisely. The studio is an awesome place to have lessons if you prefer face-to-face lesson, which I would highly recommend.
The icing on the cake is Rich’s personal level of skill as a guitarist, which I find inspirational.”
