Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Know a guitar teacher for kids?
My soon-to-be 6-year old son has expressed an interest in learning to play guitar (clearly not deterred by the genetic streak of tone-deafness which runs deep in the family).
Does anyone know of a guitar teacher locally who teaches kids? I'm assuming he'd have to start off with an acoustic guitar although I've heard great things about some teachers who do 'rock schools' so am happy for him to start off with a flying-V if that's what keeps him happy.

My husband is a brilliant guitar and piano teacher -especially good for kids- is careful in his approach and very sympathetic to their needs-and we live on the ladder-although I have to sat he is very busy but you never know he may have a mini spot to start with.

I used to have a very good guitar teacher in Crouch End, who had worked for Haringey Education. His name is Paul Alcantara and his number is 020 8341 0716. His card says 'Beginners and children welcome'. It was some years ago for me, so I hope he is still there.

It might be a bit big for a 6 year old, but I've still got my 3/4 size nylon string acoustic guitar in good condition and it's looking for a good home - if you think your son would be interested PM me!
Happy to give it to someone who'll get some use out of it.
(I think when I started learning at around that age I had a 1/2 size, but a 3/4 size may be ok depending on your son's height)

That's very kind Wholepint - but he's definitely too small for a 3/4 size so I think we'll pass for the moment.
