and use these simple approaches to open up the limitless creative possibilities that exist in music.
He is also happy to teach to a syllabus such as the grading systems or any other instructional material, and can offer in depth guidance on technique, stick control, timing, dynamics, independence, reading, tuning, improvisation, rudimental studies and practice techniques.
Jack has been an avid guitar player for 20-years, starting with classical/Spanish guitar at a young age to later explore the worlds of rock, country, metal, jazz-fusion - becoming a true guitar nerd.
With experience teaching all ages, Jack is passionate about focusing on the student's tastes and pushing their abilities to inspire their own musical journey. Outside of Allegro, he plays and records with numerous bands and projects, often transcribing parts for fellow musicians.
He may be a familiar face in Allegro already, working on the shop floor and repairing instruments. In this job, he has gained a confident knowledge of many other instruments; now teaching bass and ukulele to an advanced level, and even taking drum lessons as a way to further his musical knowledge.
Jack offers an eclectic background of guitar-playing and strives to make lessons fun and rewarding
