Karen has been teaching the guitar since she was 14. She encourages her students to learn to play all different styles and techniques so that they can accompany themselves or others. She likes to know what kind of music all her students enjoy listening to so that when they reach a certain standard, they can start to learn the kind of music that they enjoy playing themselves.

Here are a few testamonials from previous and present guitar students of Karen's.

"Learning an instrument may seem like a daunting task, but I cannot think of anyone more supportive or inspiring as Karen. I had guitar lessons with Karen a few years ago and not only did she see my potential and encourage my progress, but she nurtured my love of music.

I will forever be thankful for the support and challenge that Karen gave me, and I highly recommend that you take that first step to developing a skill for life - your only regret will be not starting sooner!" - Ian

"Karen was my guitar teacher from a very young age to my mid twenties. She is patient and encouraging and always positive. I cannot recommend Karen enough I wish I had more time to learn in my thirties!" - David

"I have been having lessons with Karen for 18 months now. I was a complete novice who could not play a note when I started!! I cannot believe how far I have come in that time, Karen is such a warm friendly person and very informative, her lessons are very easy going, but you learn very quickly." - Sean

"I have known Karen for many years now. She has such a passion for music which is infectious and transcends any age group. She first taught me guitar when I was 16 and therefore clearly has an abundance of patience but this paired with her bubbly personality and vast knowledge of music in general (not just in relation to guitar) allows for a true full learning experience. The skills that she has taught me have helped me achieve my Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award and enthused my love of music even to this day." - Kirsty
