WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS COURSE

Best guitar teacher I have ever had over 47 years! His knowledge, easy style, passion and structure was terrific

The most informative interesting illuminating enjoyable music course I have ever attended. The information and level of discussion was always interesting....Roy excels in imparting gems of his extensive knowledge. Thanks to this class I'm further down the road discovering the guitar….what a cracking guitarist Roy is!

Roy is an excellent musician and teacher. I found his approach very helpful and thoroughly enjoyed his capacity to share his knowledge of the guitar. Roy is also a terrific communicator, and very skilled at conveying information in an accessible way to a range of students.

The tutor had an excellent knowledge of the genre and was able to convey concepts clearly. He was very encouraging to all participants and I have no doubt that the others took as much away from the course as I did.

Roy Issac is a superb musician whose love for the music and his instrument shines through. We learned a lot of practical information based on his vast experience. We also learned technical material suitable for any level. But most of all we were inspired by his enthusiasm.

Roy Issac is a great teacher. The content in the course was just right for me.
