Specialising in innovative and original approaches to teaching string instruments. Great for teachers and great for young pupils.
My tutor books “Rainbow Guitar” and “Rainbow Ukulele“, use a colour-string system to help young pupils learn the instrument at a gentle pace, while learning to read music confidently and fluently in small, manageable steps. Available from www.ringingstringspublications.co.uk.
Many hundreds of pupils have used these materials as a first step in their musical journey!
Pieces from the Rainbow Ukulele books were chosen among the repertoire at every level of the ABRSM Ukulele Music Medals course (published 2024).

“Guitar Party” is a more recent collection of progressive repertoire for a first-year guitar player which builds melodic and harmonic skills at the same time. Melodies are on the left (on the stave) and chord accompaniments are on the right (in tablature).

Three Strings Attached is a free online resource bank of materials which I developed for 3-string guitar. This is a great instrument for a young beginner to start on! You’ll find all the links and info you need on this site https://sites.google.com/view/three-strings-attached/home
