Lisa Davies

I played lead guitar in an all-female rock band for more than a decade and I now run my own 18-piece big band.
I teach guitar and also work as a lecturer in the School of Music and Fine Art at the University of Kent.
I am a qualified teacher (PGCE and PGCHE) with a first class honours degree in music technology.
I can teach music theory and music reading but I prefer to get students playing tunes as quickly and easily as possible using a simple method called "tab" where the fret number of the note is written on a diagram showing the 6 strings. It can be learned in one session. All the tabs I write have proper music notation above to show note lengths and rests. I will happily teach students to read music as well if they want to learn.
I teach scale patterns but I don't teach boring scales, I teach the students to use the scales to make music as soon as possible.
I teach the fundamentals of rock and pop music from day one. Students start learning 12 bars blues in their very first lesson!
