Sam is a not just a fantastic guitar player, but a fantastic teacher too. He is patient, warm and understanding and I really upped my guitar skills throughout our ten lessons together. He is good fun to and the classes are productive but relaxed. He really knows how to get the best out of you. I will definitely be returning to him soon!

Sam is an excellent teacher. He is very patient and also a really good explainer. Very good instrumentalist who is happy to share his learning experience. He also Plays a “mean” guitar if you persuade him. Online lessons work well

Sam has been such a gift for my son Alex. What makes him stand out is his passion for what he does and his love of music. He is a true musician and it rubs off on my son. Sam has been teaching my son for just four / five months now and the improvement and level at which he is playing is incredible. We are so thrilled to have found Sam!

Sam is like a Zen teacher to me; he's non-judgemental and encourages me to explore where I am with my 'instrument' and to practice and enjoy. Sam has the patience needed to get the most out of students. I doubt I could continue if I had a teacher who seemed frustrated with my mistakes. Sam is kinder about my playing than I am...and that seems important for me to not only carry on but to enjoy it.

P. W.

Really patient, well explained information and just a really feel good teach who makes you conscious of your progress. Couldn't reccomend Sam enough if you want to get your playing into shape, pick up for the first time, of have something challenging thrown at you to mix up your style. Thanks Sam!

I was a complete beginner at the banjo but I wanted to learn from an accomplished player. I had advice from Sam with buying a good quality banjo to start off with. Next I block booked lessons with him which got me playing with correct technique and learning to play songs straight away. From there I feel I've progressed faster by having lessons than trying to learn without and I'm looking forward to learning more from him in the future. Sam is an intelligent, kind and very good music teacher. He makes the lessons feel comfortable and rewarding. If you're in any doubt about hiring Sam as an instructor, don't be, he's excellent.

Sam has been teaching my 8 year old to play Electric guitar via in person and now via the internet! Sam is very relaxed and keeps the half hour lessons very interesting with different styles and different aspects of guitar playing. I would recommend Sam to anyone interested in taking up guitar!

Sam's teaching style is relaxed and lessons feel as though they are built around the student. The lessons are focused and Sam allows me to set the pace. Always leave having gained new understanding and with something to practice. Sam is happy to answer any questions I have and will flex the lesson to give an example to play through and understand the concepts. I would recommend Sam to anyone.

Sam is a great banjo teacher and is very patient with me. I had tried teaching myself from the internet and books but not got very far. Sam has an easy going manner but keeps me working at it and I have made great progress since starting with him.

Sam Garrard is an absolutely fantastic banjo teacher. My son has been playing guitar for 4 years and recently decided to turn his hand to banjo too. After only 4 hours of lessons with Sam he has picked up three finger and Clawhammer styles. Online lessons work really really well. Would highly recommend.

Sam is a great banjo teacher but he doesn't just teach you how to play the banjo. I've learnt a lot about music in general and I've realised that Sam's aim is not to allow me to sit on the end of my bed and play tunes to myself but to give me the ability to make music with other musicians playing other instruments. This has opened up a horizon that I never really considered and that I now wish to achieve - and will, but not without his help.

I’ve been having lessons with Sam for 4 months now, he’s a great teacher and I feel like I’m progressing week on week. After a year of trying to teach myself the banjo from YouTube videos I found Sam’s number in Hobgoblin music shop and finally gave it a ring. I wish I had found it a year earlier! The lessons are fun and tailored to the kind of music and like and want to play. He always leaves me some interesting and challenging homework for the next lesson. He’s thoroughly knowledgeable about all things banjo from musical theory, to the physical instrument itself and musical history.

P. B.

Sam is a really great banjo teacher. His lessons are informal and great fun but he also has a really professional approach. The lessons are paced at your level but will stretch you just a bit so you are always learning. He teaches you really enjoyable bluegrass and clawhammer and also chords. I have been going to lessons with him for eighteen months and learned from scratch. I have come much further than I ever thought I would and still absolutely love it. If you are looking for a guitar or banjo teacher, you need look no further...he's your man

Sam's a brilliant teacher - very empathetic, very patient, and encouraging through the tortuous early stages. Good blend of practical and theory. Makes it very easy and engaging, even though its an on-line delivery - not everyone is good at that!

J. R.

First up, banjo teachers are not easily found, good ones must be even rarer... Sam is a great teacher, very patient and a real student of the banjo himself. Lessons always involve a host of resorces to take away and are based on a good pace, so not overwhelming but also not too laboured. Sam has a magical power of spotting incorrect banjo picking, even with his back turned, so you can be assured of learning good technique! as well as all the bluegrass and clawhammer standards you could wish for. New teaching space is in a great location with easy parking etc and flexible options for buying blocks of lessons including his online calender for availability - not sure what else you'd want for banjo lessons, highly recommended !

I thought I needed some help after attempting self taught banjo. Turns out I did. [ It starts with where you place your hand and how ...my biggest lesson yet. I think about it daily. Sam is and was right about all the things he taught. It just takes time to sink in with me...and a lot of practice...especially when you've been doing it wrong for a long time. If you are learning from Sam,.listen. Try to take it in. From such little said and meant , massive strides will develop. Im away! Cheers Sam...and thanks for playing at my wedding...everybody loved it! Hey...I may be playing at someone's wedding soon too!

Sam makes learning the banjo so understandable and achievable, even for a non-musician like me. He is extremely patient and encouraging and very very knowledgeable about his subject . So lucky to have found him!

I was a complete beginner at the banjo. Sam’ structured approach was absolutely perfect for me. I have enjoyed every lesson and though my fingers are sometimes sore I’m loving getting to grips with the instrument ! Thank you Sam

Great teacher, I’ve found Sam to be very knowledgable and easy to get on with. Most importantly he is happy to let you decide which direction to take the lesson, rather than teaching you whatever he would prefer
