Meet Sophie

I've been teaching guitar in Bath for over fifteen years, working with everyone from seven-year-olds picking up a guitar for the first time to adults who've always wanted to play but never quite got started. My approach is simple: lessons should feel like progress, not pressure.

I cover acoustic and electric guitar across all styles β€” pop, rock, acoustic fingerstyle, and ABRSM Grades 1–8. I'm particularly good with students who want to play the music they actually love, not just run through scales.

What Families Say

The greatest reward in teaching is watching a student go from nervous to confident β€” often within just a few weeks.

"My son used to dread practice. After six months with Sophie, he asks to play before I've even reminded him. That's the only thing that matters."

Eleanor R.

Parent, Bath

"Sophie has a gift for getting children past the 'this is boring' stage. My daughter was ready to quit after a few months β€” two years later she's playing in a local youth group and loving every minute."

Rachel P.

Parent, Bath

"I'm 47 and decided to finally learn guitar. Sophie never once made me feel like that was strange β€” just completely possible. I'm now working towards my Grade 3."
