Musician, teacher and singer/songwriter for students of all ages. Here for all of your music theory/improvisation/composing needs!

Barney is one of the most talented musicians, and one of the most patient and generous teachers I've been lucky enough to work with. His lessons are well-structured, creative, and above all, so much fun. I always look forward to working with Barney and would 100% recommend him to anyone from beginner to advanced!

Barney was a great tutor and helped me learn one of my fave songs on guitar (Africa by Toto, banger). Highly recommend anyone looking to advance their guitar playing

Barney is such a kind and patient teacher, and his genuine passion for music always comes through. You’re not going to find a better guitar teacher than Barney!

My guitar had been sat in the corner of my room neglected for years and I decided it was time to pick it up again. I went to Barney for a few sessions to help bring me back up to speed. I’ve really fallen back in love with playing. Thank you so much!

Barney helped with my guitar playing enormously! Gave me so much confidence. Couldn’t ask for a more patient and fun person to teach me. Brilliant.

Couldn’t recommend this tutor more. My son came to Barney with a huge passion for music but very shy and reserved! Barney worked wonders with him, bringing him out of his shell and helping him find his flare for guitar. Not only did his musical skills build, but his self-confidence too. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you, Barney!

Barney has an incredible understanding of music and theory, which helps to make sense of the lessons! His lessons have helped me greatly in learning new techniques and broadening my playing styles.

Barney is a fantastic, patient and talented teacher. I have taken lessons with him and he always creates a fun, relaxed and engaging space to learn, create and develop skills. Highly recommend!!

Barney's an awesome teacher. He's generous, calm, kind and a skilled musician. I definitely recommend him!

I’ve only had a handful of lessons with Barney so far but I’ve been really impressed by how he’s always gone the extra mile and how patient he has been with me! He breaks things down to make them simple and we build from there. I feel really enthusiastic about my new found hobby and it’s mostly down to Barney! Highly recommended. Chris

Barney gave me the skills and confidence to finally play for my family and friends. I just wish I’d got lessons with him sooner! Thanks Barney :)

I had never played guitar and had to learn very fast for an acting job. With Barney’s patient and easy to understand way of teaching, after only 6 weeks I was able to confidently play some very hard pieces in public. He has a brilliant way of making difficult concepts seem simple and is so kind.

I know Barney personally and as a guitar teacher. He patiently taught me easy ways to be a more interesting guitarist by expanding my technique beyond just the usual chords. Barney is a talented, kind, creative and generous person who I can recommend as a teacher of all ages and abilities.
