Bristol Guitarist Decides To Turn To Teaching As A Job

Steve on starting up teaching guitar after many years of gigging with bands. Here is his story – “I was toying with the idea of teaching guitar for quite some time but never got around to it. Starting up just seemed so daunting, with advertising, web design, stationary costs etc. Then I came across an advert for My Guitar Lessons tutors, in a guitar magazine I was reading and it seemed quite interesting.

Even then it took me ages to decide to go for it, but boy am I glad I did, I should not have waited so long! My Guitar Lessons was great and explained everything in detail about the different services I could have. I decided to go for the Gold Service as I was starting from scratch.

This service provides fantastic support, and all the materials I would need such as my own web site, posters, business cards, lesson plans, on line videos to help you to teach. It also provides information on how to market your self, where to advertise, how to start your own business and to keep records for tax purposes.

My Guitar Lessons even came to my house for a one to one on teaching techniques and how to set your teaching room up. It was slow for the first couple of months but now after being with My Guitar Lessons for only four months I have 11 students with enquiries coming in on a regular basis.

I loved gigging but am enjoying teaching just as much, watching people learn and improve gives me a great buzz and I earn good money doing it! “
