"....a superb
tutor, Jordan is an excellent communicator of both practise and theory,
and is very adaptable to the student's needs and interests. He is both
challenging and encouraging....makes very effective use of different
media....a fine musician on both acoustic and electric guitar." - N. O'Dowd, Student
Private individual guitar lessons are available, and are taught in a dedicated music room with recording capabilities from Jordan's home in Southampton. Jordan is a fully accredited member of the Registry of Guitar Tutors, and is CRB checked (January 2010).
All levels of guitarist are welcomed, and lessons can be tailored to suit either acoustic guitar, electric guitar, or both. Teaching material is firmly tailored to suit the goals and needs of each individual student. More details are available in the guitar-teaching section of the FAQ page.
In addition to one-on-one sessions, short video lessons can be made after a lesson has taken place to capture key topics that have been covered, and emailed to the student so they can watch (and re-watch) the material presented. An example of a video made for a student can be downloaded here: Danny Boy video (To view, right-click, then choose 'Save As').
References from past and existing students are available upon request.
Lessons are priced at £20 per hour, and £10 per 1/2 hour for children.
Please get in contact to enquire about availability, email jordan@jordanhumber.co.ukCancellation policy: Please provide a minimum of 48-hours notice should a lesson need to be cancelled or re-arranged. Due to constant demand for lessons there are often other students that could take the booking given enough time. A cancellation of less than 48 hours results in a gap that is unable to be filled. If the required notice is not given, the full lesson fee is charged. By booking lessons the student is reserving teaching time and thereby agreeing to the cancellation policy.
