Testimonials

Some of my past students have passed on these kind words about lessons with me:

"Imagine..... a bunch of near geriatric rockers with musical expectations way above our talent level. Some of us had never played our chosen instruments before. Yet, with Dylan we achieved our ambitions, performing to audiences, sometimes a hundred or more people, who gave us the rock star treatment. Magic!

Dylan Kay made this happen by being an amazing, insightful and patient teacher, who saw what we could and could not do, and coaxed more and more out of us. After a year of regular rehearsal, we were really flying at times. There is nothing quite like playing in a rock band.

Thanks, Dylan. Precious times".

"Dylan is an awesome guitar teacher and I can’t imagine you will find a better one. I have no musical talent whatsoever but as a result of Dylan’s skill, enthusiasm and patience I can play to a level that brings me pleasure. I can work out tunes I hear, I can solo over tracks and I can jam along with others.

Whether you want to really understand theory and musical structure, or whether you just want to be able to play really well; whether you are a beginner or looking to move from competent to expert - Dylan is your man. He will adapt his teaching to your learning. I stopped taking lesson with Dylan because I moved away from the area, but what he taught me while we worked together has laid a foundation that means I will keep playing and keep improving for the rest of my life. And if he can do that with me, believe me he can do that for anyone.

If you want to call me to ask questions about how I found working with him don’t hesitate (07 999 833 222). Get your guitar and get playing – you might be the next Peter Green!"

"I was a total beginner with no previous music experience and Dylan managed to teach me the basics within a couple of months. He is very meticulous making sure that the right techniques are used from the beginning. I'm a fairly slow learner but thanks to his patience I have been able to progress well in the last couple of months. Playing guitar has become a hobby which will stay with me for the rest of my life."

"Dylan is a great guitar teacher. He immediately commands respect because his obvious talent for the guitar oozes through everything he does. But Dylan also has great empathy with his students and takes real pride in seeing them progress. I'm so happy I got to know Dylan 12 years ago, and that (despite having to put up with me as a student) he still wanted to be my friend!"
Andy Coughlin

"I was taking lessons from Dylan for a number of years and learnt sooo much not only about the guitar but about musicianship. He is truly a technician of the instrument and an admirable man."
