So please don't hesitate to enquire if you think this could be you. After an introductory session Julian will recommend a course of lessons. For those who want to learn classical guitar this will normally involve learning the rewarding skill of reading music; for acoustic guitarists it can be based around songs you want to learn or new playing styles or techniques you want to master. Also, if required, he is able to give songwriting advice and make quality studio recordings of your performances.

Julian is steadily building a reputation in the area as an enthusiastic, encouraging and engaging teacher, drawing on his long and varied experience of composing, arranging, performing and recording, as guitarist, singer/songwriter and also in duos, classical ensembles and rock bands.

As well as being a singer/songwriter/performer and teacher, Julian has studied the classical guitar since 1998, and presents a monthly Guitar Evening in Blandford Forum, North Dorset, at which classical guitar enthusiasts and players of all levels of ability are very welcome to listen or play. Please get in touch if you'd like to come along to one. These events are on the third Thursday of each month in 2008. Previous guitar evenings have included composers as diverse as Sor, Berkeley, Carulli, Bach, Torroba, Purcell, Granados, Dowland, Villa-Lobos, Stoker, Scarlatti, Albeniz....and many more, including pieces for guitar duo, guitar and recorder and even guitar, cello and viola.
