Guitar lessons in Crouch End / Highgate / north London
I teach every little thing a guitarist should know, like the correct hand techniques, reading music, and music theory (in a very practical way). And can teach all styles, all guitars and all levels.
But most of all, my biggest passion and mission in life is to help you to be more creative and expressive. And the guitar is the best way to achieve it, of course.
I encourage all my students to write music, improvise, and find their own path, voice, and sound on the guitar. Creating music is not only really fun, but it’s also the most valuable way to learn guitar and understand music on a deeper level.
My current guitar students range from complete beginners to advanced guitarists. They want to embrace the joy of music in their lives and unlock their creative potential by improvising, songwriting, and music composing.
Some of them work towards their diplomas and concerts, and I’m happy to support them along the journey and get great results.
I believe that there are many paths to learning guitar, and I accommodate and design a plan according to your individual goals and needs. In the literature, it’s called “student-led”, and I am firmly convinced that this is the most suitable way to learn.

About Me
You’ve reached this page probably because you searched for “Guitar lessons north London”. Great! I am a guitar teacher in north London!The guitar is objectively the most amazing musical instrument there is! And I love showing aspiring guitarists and musicians the sheer magic it can produce.
I’ve been teaching since 2002 and was happy to help guitar players in north London and around the world to take their first steps on the guitar or to improve their current skills. It’s always amazing to see the transformation.
As a teacher, I strive to help you reach whatever goals you may have on the guitar and become the best version of your creative self.

I picked up a guitar in 1991. So yeah, I’ve been playing for quite some time… Back then, I had some amazing guitar teachers who taught and inspired me so much.
One of them, Gilad Benamram (who’s now a famous film and TV composer), left the greatest impact on me. So when I became a guitar teacher, I wanted to adopt his unique teaching approach.
His method was to give creative guitar challenges and his positive feedback was very motivating and encouraged me to achieve more and more. And that’s my ultimate goal when I teach guitar.
Once I reached a decent level, I started to collaborate and play with other musicians, bands and ensembles. So over the years, I gained experience on stage as a performing guitarist and in the studio as a session player and recording artist.
Despite getting to a pro level, I kept on studying different aspects of guitar playing and music. I still do so until this very day as learning and living music is an ongoing part of my life.
I give guitar lessons in north London – Crouch End, Highgate area. And am a registered guitar teacher in RGT@LCM – the Registry of Guitar Tutors at the London College of Music.
Since Covid, I’ve been teaching online guitar lessons and using a unique online studio. This studio is designed for music lessons and the audio quality is much better than Zoom. You can actually hear two guitars playing at the same time!
On my online guitar studio, I can offer my services to my students who live across the world, from Portland to Singapore.
Of course, that’s how I also teach my London-based students. Even now, in 2022, they find this method efficient. There’s no travel time, no lateness, and the lessons’ recaps are stored in their own space in the online guitar studio. The studio is also a hosting platform where my students can upload videos and files to get my feedback in-between lessons.

FAQ
Q: Do you take complete beginners?
A: Yes. I’m happy to take beginners. Sometimes, I even prefer beginners as I can teach you the right techniques straight away, without the need to break bad old habits. Usually, self-taught students or students of inadequate teachers acquire flawed right and left-hand techniques, unfortunately.
Q: What is your method of teaching guitar?
A: I build a custom-made programme that would fit to your goals and needs. If you think you don’t have any goals and just want to play a bit and have fun, that’s also an honourable goal and I’ll just aim toward that. Just let me know what kind of music you’re into. I usually incorporate a bit of music theory in my lessons as well as encourage my students to create music of their own.
Q: What kind of styles and genres do you teach?
A: Over the years I’ve dubbed with almost any possible music genre and style there is. Therefore, I can teach almost everything. From classical guitar grade exam preparations, through acoustic singer-songwriter songs, to electric guitar shredding.
Q: What is expected of me as a student?
A: Three important things: 1) practice, 2) practice, and 3) more practice. You need a minimum of 10 minutes a day to practice, and I’m sure you can find that time. I also teach how to practice without the guitar! My philosophy (based on research) is that daily 10-minute guitar practice is better than playing once a week for two hours. It’s because you want to make a habit out of it and bring music to your life.
There’s no other alternative or a hidden secret to getting better at guitar quickly yet I’m afraid. When we’ll become cyborgs it might change…
Q: Do you have a cancellation policy?
A: Yes. I understand that there are unexpected events that can cause cancellations, but any disruption affects the consistency and standards of the learning experience for both the student and the teacher. Therefore, I will use the time of any cancelled session to plan, film and upload a new personalised lesson for you instead.
Testimonials from guitar students:
I had been meaning to get Guitar lessons for many years, and am so glad I finally did it and chose Udi. I have been getting lessons from Udi in person for about 7 months and recently online and can highly recommend both methods, the online lessons are great to allow me to keep progressing whilst the lockdown is in place. After quite a bit of searching online for a teacher in North London who would teach flamenco as well as other styles of guitar, I came across Udi’s site, the reviews speak for themselves. I have been learning a mixture of flamenco, and rock from bands which I enjoy listening to. Udi can teach a wide range of styles and has a deep understanding of music. He breaks down the lessons into a way which I can understand and progress as well as helping me to construct my practicing to fit into a busy lifestyle. He also encourages me to take a video of him summarising the lesson each week which really helps make the most of the lesson whilst I’m practicing. Udi is patient and takes the time to explain the theory behind the music if this is of interest, he has good humour and is passionate about what he teaches. I feel that I have just scratched the surface of what I can learn.

Songwriters workshop (songs ideas, lyrics, chords)Are you musical trained, confident enough with your instrument but finding frustrating coming up with your own compositions? Finding difficult to get idea for a new song, need suggestions for your lyrics, or just a simple understanding on a song structure?
This class is based in songwriting and musical performance. I will provide any tips and suggestion to get a song done and don't get stuck between lyrics or chords. I'll be focussing in songwriting structure across different genre, pop, folk, blues, jazz.
I will be also structuring the classes giving home exercise working on new sketches every week across those different genres, and diverse themes.
Once the song will be completed I'll give any sort of advice on how to perform a song to an audience. How to structure a show and organise you band if you have one.
During the lesson I'll be using piano as main instrument and singing. I am also confident in guitar if required.
Songwriting and performance for me are quite related. At the same time I can also give advice and teach just one or the other if required.
Please follow below more information about myself.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisationHey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.
For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)
I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.
The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.
See you soon!
Richard
PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

John
Professional jazz musician teaching jazz, blues, funk, R&B, pop, rock, latin and classical piano.I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.
My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.
Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.
A bit about me:
Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.
