Subjects Taught
About Win
Classically trained on the violin up to Grade 7 and Music Theory Grade 6, in 1978 I began playing Bass and guitar in local bands, writing and composing original songs. Since then, I've played in various bands, touring UK and Europe, managed multimedia productions, a pub theatre, an independent record label and publishing company and various festivals/benefits concerts.
Throughout this time I have taught Guitar, Bass, Drums, Harmonica, Piano and Vocals (to private students and as a local authority tutor) as well as producing and recording many projects on studio and more recently, digital, home recording equipment.
Recently graduated with a First Class degree in Music Composition (BA Hons), at Middlesex University, I now have a much greater depth of understanding of the history of music and recent recording and notation software innovations.

My Testimonials
Name of the person who provided this testimonial: Kellie
As an adult beginner on the Piano I have found Mr Smith to be very patient and encouraging. I have found myself feeling shy and nervous but due to the relaxed nature and atmosphere of the lessons my fears are put to ease very quickly and I am able to focus on the good stuff. A pleasant and down to earth guy and I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a tutor.
Name of the person who provided this testimonial: Peter
Very happy to find Paul to give me piano lessons. I'm a complete beginner and was quite nervous at starting at the ripe old age of 59 ! However, Paul has made me feel completely comfortable and I'm really enjoying my lessons.
Highly recommended.

Very satisfied and I would recommend Paul wholeheartedly to anyone looking to learn/develop their skills as a guitarist.
