One to one guitar lessons in Felixstowe

Mark teaches from his fully equipped teaching studio at home, in Felixstowe, Suffolk. Spare guitars are always available for students who are without their own instrument ( ideal for beginners who want to 'try before they buy' ). Patient and understanding, Mark has the ability to make you feel comfortable with your playing, whatever your level, yet inspires you to want to progress.

Personal guitar tuition via Skype

This is a great way to enjoy personal guitar tuition, from anywhere in the world, without leaving your home! All you need is a good internet connection, a webcam / microphone (built into most laptops), either a Paypal account or Bacs capability......and a guitar!

For more info, or to arrange a lesson, please get in touch with Mark via email or phone.

YouTube videos - free guitar lessons

All of Mark's students have access to the password protected Members Area on this site where he posts videos to support individual lessons, along with slowed down performances ( with close ups on hand positions etc ) to assist with learning particular pieces of music and also supplementary video lessons. Mark's public Youtube channel is also full of performances, demos and backing tracks: https://www.youtube.com/user/debenmusic

There may be many "guitar teachers" but there’s only one that I’d ever recommend. Mark taught my son Andy from the first note he played and guided him to a distinction at Grade 8. He is a gifted teacher, a musical mentor, role model and his exceptional skills as a musician have become the benchmark for excellence.

Anne Gould : Parent :
Mark is an exceptionally patient and knowledgeable tutor who is able to teach a very broad range of different styles of music. He helped me achieve very high results with my RGT grades (98%) and throughout the 14 years I’ve known him he has been an invaluable source of help with everything from original compositions and choosing equipment, to transposing difficult pieces.

Chris Burness : Former Pupil :
Not only is Mark a brilliant teacher, he's also an inspiring guitarist with a wide-ranging repertoire. Couldn't be happier after 11 years of lessons with him!

Edward Higgins : Pupil: 2005 - 2016 :
The decision to learn to play the guitar at c 40 years of age, from a guy with no rhythm or understanding of music, was a big ask for a music teacher. Mark has been teaching me for the last 3/4 years, and has always taught me music I wanted to learn, thereby keeping me interested and wanting to master the next tune. I have enjoyed every lesson, and find his style of tuition relaxed and encouraging. Besides which he is a fabulous musician!

Pete Deer : Pupil :
Mark has taught both my son guitar and now my daughter bass guitar! I can highly recommend him as a friendly and professional teacher.

Jo Earl : Parent :
Mark is a great guitarist and tutor who has a lucid and patient teaching style. (As a mature student (54), this is important to me.) He listens attentively and happily shares his wealth of knowledge. I started to learn guitar 9 years ago with Mark and I now play in local jazz bands and jams. I perform solo gigs too. He has taught me Blues, Jazz and successfully guided me through two RGT examinations.

Ivan Osborne : Pupil: 2007 to present :
...I started taking lessons with the amazing Mark Stuart - his flexible approach to teaching meant I could learn to play guitar just the way I wanted to..... frighteningly talented both as a teacher and a musician.

Justine de Mierre : Former Pupil :
I took lessons with Mark a few years ago, starting as a total novice and was amazed by how quickly I was able to play recognisable songs and riffs!! Highly recommended teacher!
