TONY GWYNNE
I’m a friendly, patient guitar teacher. I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years and have 15 years teaching experience, teaching both in primary and secondary schools, as well as teaching privately and also working as an area manager for a music service. I have an up to date CRB/DBS certificate and I teach all styles, ages and abilities.
I’m currently offering guitar tuition, both online and in person in Torbay, Devon.
WHAT ARE LESSONS LIKE? DO I HAVE TO TAKE EXAMS?
Lessons are relaxed, fun and enjoyable. I teach students in bite size elements that all can take onboard easily. I teach well known pieces and I have a 100% pass rate in students taking grade exams. Some as young as 7 years old achieving 95%. Grades and exams are only optional.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF LEARNING GUITAR
I’ve taught hundreds of students from primary school level up to students in their eighties. It’s never too late to start. With recent studies suggesting learning a musical instrument can help with reducing the chances of getting some forms of dementia, learning guitar not only helps with our wellbeing, but also has physical health benefits.
SONGWRITING
I also teach songwriting. I’ve written around 100 songs and I’ve been lucky enough to have collaborated with Ivor Novello award winner Iain Archer, formerly of Snow Patrol, as well as multiplatinum songwriter Paul Statham, Heidi Berry, Sadie Fleming, Miles Bidddulph, Rebecca Cullen and Cazzandra. I’ve also learnt how to write songs from hit songwriter Jez Ashurt, Andy West and Joe Bennet. If you’ve ever wanted to write a song, I’m happy to help.

I have a ground floor teaching room with plenty of comfortable seating for parents and there’s free on street parking.
