My daughter has had lessons with Jo for a few years. Jo is remarkably patient and enthusiastic. I watched my daughter make great progress, despite a lack of commitment on her part to practice. Jo is flexible in her approach and seems to bring out the best In her pupils. My daughter enjoyed the lessons and more importantly built up her confidence in playing guitar. For us it wasn't about grades but enjoyment and learning and this was achieved in both parts. Would highly recommend Jo, she is reliable, enthusiastic, a great teacher and a lovely warm person.

Having no experience in guitar playing felt quite daunting when I wanted to start learning. However, Jo has been the most patient, insightful and skilled tutor I have ever been taught by! Jo allowed me to move at my own pace whilst still being incredibly encouraging. With weekly lessons that were tailored to what I wanted to achieve from the guitar, Jo equipped me with a plethora of tools that have allowed me to flourish as a guitarist. Her knowledge of the instrument and its use in different styles is limitless and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is a beginner, intermediate or an advanced player because Jo always has something valuable to offer.

Have had a year worth of lessons with Jo once every week. I have to say, she has been the greatest music teacher ever, helping me with improving my music theory drastically to playing some of my favourite songs on guitar. I started out knowing absolutely nothing, but she gave me the opportunity and courage to start performing on stage, with implemented techniques and skills to the highest standard. Her listening skills are immaculate. She pretty much knows the key to every songs thrown at her, and has the ability to improvise every single time. I love her to bits and will hope to start a lesson with her again nearer future. If you are looking for a music teacher, do not hesitate to contact her as you will not be disappointed.

Jo was able to work with my almost 16 year old over the summer whilst we were in Liverpool. It was a great experience for my son and he really wants to continue learning the guitar. Jo comes across as very calm and patient, and like she can meet different kinds of people where they are. I would 100% recommend her.

Really enjoying my lessons with Jo. I nearly gave up after my first lesson as I had never played before and found it really hard but so glad I didn't as I have learnt so much and Jo is so patient and encouraging

“Good players don’t necessarily make good teachers” a phrase I’ve heard over the years. Jo is an exception. She’s a great performer and an equally great teacher. I needed a specific style of coaching over a limited period and had specific objectives. Jo helped me achieve and surpass all my targets.. in addition, making improvements to my playing style along the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jo.. she’s a great communicator and a really easy person to get on with, which makes the learning process so much more enjoyable 😎🎸👍🤘

Currently having lessons with Jo and just want to put it out there that this lady is the best guitar teacher you will find in Liverpool. I am a mature "lapsed" strummer who has being going to Jo for the last 3 months and the difference her teaching has made to both my technique and musical theory knowledge is unbelievable. Jo has a patient, tailored approach to lessons that have really improved not only my ability but also my confidence around other guitar players who I used to feel inferior to. I have been taught all the things I should have learned long ago when I first picked up a guitar. Fretboard knowledge and scales are now second nature to me and these were an alien concept before lessons with Jo, and almost without realising it my musical theory knowledge is now at a level I could only dream of three months ago. Jo has such patience and her whole approach to lessons with a more mature student like me is fantastic. Add in the fact she is an amazing guitarist and a hell of a nice person and you really do hit the jackpot if you have lessons with her. Five stars doesn't even come close but it is the most I am allowed to give. Don't hesitate to get in touch with Jo if you are reading this and undecided-I guarantee you won't regret your choice.

My Grandson aged 8 has been taking lessons for quite a while with Jo . He is extremely shy with new people & Jo has been patient & caring & has a way that has brought him out of himself & he has progressed not only with his guitar but also in confidence . Thank you Jo

Jo is a great teacher - I would totally recommend her! Very friendly, super patient, v reliable and just all-round really good. My teenage daughter has been having electric guitar lessons with Jo for a couple of years and has just passed her Grade 5 with Merit - and she's gained loads of confidence thanks to Jo's support and great teaching.

I took lessons with Jo for a few months, until my personal circumstances changed and I've put it on hold for a while. I found the online format very accessible and convenient, and Jo was very accommodating with scheduling lessons in at convenient times for me. Jo's teaching was fun, and personal; she suggested songs to suit my interests, and I thought she pitched it really well - not too pushy, but demanding enough to keep you on your toes! She always sent follow up materials, including recordings of her playing the songs slowly and at normal speed, which I found extremely useful for working on strumming rhythms. I'd thoroughly recommend Jo, and look forward to starting again later in the year.

Not only is Jo a fantastic guitar teacher - she is kind, patient and a great role model for my two daughters. They enjoy their lessons every week and have both improved greatly since they started. Would highly recommend :)

I have had guitar lessons for a couple of years now with Jo. I would recommend Jo for anybody wishing to learn the guitar of any age, Jo Is patient and focusses your lessons around your learning needs and what you are looking to achieve. Jo has a great knowledge of music and styles and has helped my achieve my first couple of Graded Exams. Great Teacher 👍

I began my guitar lessons with Jo with little to no knowledge of how to play. Jo made me feel at ease straight away learning my motivations behind wanting to play the guitar and tailoring her teaching style in line with that. She is very patient and thorough in how she teaches and really broke everything down for me in a way that I could understand. Jo always put a huge effort into lessons preparing songs I’d mentioned I would like to learn in order to keep me engaged and motivated; I couldn’t have found a better tutor. Currently taking a short break from lessons but will definitely be taking them up again, Jo is a great tutor who also became a friend and I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to learn the guitar or expand on the skills they currently have. Thanks Jo!

Jo is a absolutely amazing teacher. So has made me feel so inspired to learn more. I started from not knowing how to play a single tune to now playing one of my favourite songs within half an hour. Jo has such an amazing talent, patience and has made me feel so at ease and I would recommend anyone to her. Thanks Jo for your inspiration and your time has been so appreciated 10 out of 10. 👍

Jo has be helping our son for around a year and his progress is amazing gone from strength to strength and with jo helping him has gain a place at LIPA great teacher wouldn't hesitate to recommend her *****

Jo is a brilliant guitar teacher who has exactly the right temperament to help children develop musically - she is calm, professional and talented but never pushy, always encouraging and points out areas to improve without being overbearing. She also goes above and beyond what is expected - often sending messages outside her own time to make sure the lessons are going well and our boys are getting on ok. The boys - who started when they were 7 - love their lessons with her and are doing really well with their music and guitar playing. She also helped our eldest develop his skills for the music aptitude tests for secondary schools, which he did really well in. We would highly recommend Jo!

Jo was recommended by a mum in school. She is not only a great guitar instructor but a lovely lady. My son started guitar lessons when he was 7 years old. Jo is patient and has a way of breaking things down so it is easy to learn and enjoyable. She listens to what you want. My son learnt to read the music when playing electric guitar. She helped him get ready for school entrance and music exams. I can not recommend Jo highly enough.

R. W.

Jo is teachereteacher to my 11 year oldgold daughter and has taught her for 2 years. She is able to tap into the fun side of music while also being able to ensure continued work towards musical development and progress. I would recommend her as a guitar teacher to anyone.

My original post is below,this edit is written September 2021 after resuming lessons after lockdown, and that return has highlighted for me just how far Jo has brought my playing along,,,she has infinite patience and easily spots errors and puts them right, making every session a positive step forward. I always come away from a lesson with renewed enthusiasm and increased knowledge. Gosh this lady is good not only in her own right as an accomplished musician but also as a fine tescher, giving praise and encouragement where deserved, and explaining where adjustments are needed. Jo has bben giving me tuition on my 3 string slide guiùtar, and the last few months my playing has improved at a really fast pace Jo is able to adapt to the blues style ,and quickly sees where I need to be guided. Learning with Jo is like having Bonnie Raitt sitting right alongside you,,,no wait, she is better than that, she has infinite patience and amazing insight able to spot the smallest error, and put it right. Best thing I ever did,,,getting lessons from someone who knows .

Jo is a great help to me, and I found that having somebody I could ask questions that you cannot research yourself, or fill in gaps that brings things together is invaluable! She always tries to fit me in around my busy work schedule, is patient with me, & I can always trust her advice! Thanks Jo!

Jo was brilliant with my son I found her at the last minute and she helped him prepare for his grade 5 theory exams in just 2 months and he came out with flying colours and has got into Lippa to pursue his BaHons in Music.

Jo was happy to tailor my lessons to focus on what I wanted to and encouraged me to start finger picking much sooner than I thought I was ready to! I've had to take a break from lessons but I've gained a lot of confidence in my own abilities in a short time.

Since taking lessons off Jo my progress has been brilliant and I’m so happy with how well I can play a Guitar and understand music now, I was struggling for years on my own and close to giving up, trying to learn and grasp how the whole concept of music works and what goes on behind a song and the basis of it all has been so much better with Jo, Jo has a outstanding knowledge of music and I highly recommend.
