“Learning the guitar is not about being technically perfect straightaway or learning songs in the fastest possible time. It’s about relaxing, taking your time and practicing for fun. Don’t get stressed and enjoy the journey. Thanks Nick!”
“I am a woman in her fifties who was told at the age of 13 in school that I was tone deaf and asked to mime rather than sing in their concerts and services. I have not sung a single note since that day – not even with my husband and daughter on day trips in the car. That is until I found Nick. I was shaking on that first day when I went to his house for a trial lesson, however I found someone who was friendly, welcoming and encouraging. Nick is someone who immediately puts you at ease and more importantly gives you the confidence to have a go. He makes me laugh and in the sanctuary of his music room, I felt able to put all of my psychological hang-ups about singing in front of people to one side. The first time I sang a note out loud was an incredible feeling. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. After all these years, Nick is actually teaching me to be able to sing in tune – can you believe that! I am now working with Nick towards being able to sing (not mime) in the church at my daughters wedding which will be a very special moment for me and for my family.
I really love my singing lessons with Nick, and when I look back over the 18 months I’ve been having them I can see how far I’ve come. Not only has it uncovered an ability I didn’t know I had, I have found my confidence overall has improved as well . I’ve rekindled my love of music and have even pushed myself to sing with a band, with Nicks support. I would never have thought I would love it as much as I do, considering I just thought I would give it a go to see if I could sing a bit better. Nicks passion and ability for what he does is always evident and I’m really pleased I took the plunge with this and gave it a go.
