Bio
I am 29 years old and live in the centre of Sheffield. I am available for in-person and online lessons in both electric and acoustic guitar, bass guitar, piano, voice, drums, music production and songwriting. I have been teaching and creating music professionally for over 10 years. I started teaching myself guitar at the age of 12 and performed my first concert at school in the same year. I am currently working part-time in a music school based in Sheffield which has helped me develop my teaching skills. I teach people of all ages & abilities.
I am a very patient and understanding person. I am used to helping people who feel nervous and try my best to install some confidence in them!
I have written and performed my own music in various projects. I have songs published/ released on Sony Music, RCA, Universal, Bdi Music and BMG.
Teaching Info
I specialise in contemporary & popular styles of playing. I understand all of my students needs and teach them in a way which I think will benefit them the most. I have a very holistic style of teaching, but I also understand the importance of discipline and talking about music theory. I enjoy showing how you can show emotion through music and this is one of my favourite topics. If you have any questions regarding my teaching style, please pop me a message.
"Jonny is teaching my 15yo son to sing rock/metal for his band. Although my son came with no skills/experience, Jonny has helped him with vocal warming up and other exercises, and found a wide vocal range 'from grumbling at the bottom to squeaking falsetto at the top'. My son is very happy in the lessons. I witnessed a significant break through today. Jonny is happy to work with my son's tastes in music, and is always encouraging. Always. Also Jonny is generous with his time as well as his encouragement. he has suggested recording sessions…."

"Jonny is a super kind and patient vocal coach and clearly a very talented musician! He made me feel comfortable from the get go and my confidence with singing has improved tenfold thanks to Jonny. Jonny’s lessons are fun and relaxed, yet he will push you out of your comfort zone the perfect amount. Highly recommend!"

"Jonny has been very patient and flexible with my 5 year old who loves music, is intrigued by the piano and is doing it ‘his’ way! Lovely energy and hugely talented. Leaving it to Jonny to figure out how best to teach him. Always fun, always a pleasure!"

"Jonny was a good patient teacher in the lesson I had with him. He took his time in explaining things to me and if I didn’t understand something he would do it first and then let me join whenever I was ready. He would also take the time to repeat vocal exercises etc. multiple times if I was struggling. I feel that the lesson I had was useful and practical to my skill set. I would definitely recommend him to other people looking to better their singing, vocal range, song writing and music theory and production skills."

"Love working with Jonny for music lessons. I’d never had any singing or music lessons before meeting him but he made me feel super comfortable and at ease immediately. He is reassuring and has a positive, encouraging approach to teaching. It’s always a lot of fun and he has so much knowledge to share. I felt a huge confidence boost in my singing just after a few lessons, so I am incredibly thankful! I definitely recommend Jonny!"
