Flexible Lessons

I run lessons predominantly on a flexible basis. You can book lessons whenever you’d like - no need to sign up to a regular weekly slot. Whether you’re just starting out on your musical journey, you’re a professional musician looking to expand your skillset, or anything in between, I’d love to hear from you to see how I can assist you.

Lessons are bookable directly through the booking system above and can take place either in-person at my home in Witley, Surrey (GU8) or online via Zoom. Feel free to contact me also on jonnyforduk@gmail.com if you have any questions about anything.

I upload lesson availability approximately 1 to 2 month ahead.
