Marcus Richardson is an intuitive, versatile and effective music teacher. He takes time to listen, analyse and meet my goals and learning needs as an acoustic guitar student. Marcus combines his own deft flourishes of talent on a wide range of guitars to inspire whilst teaching basic techniques with attention to detail. He responds regularly and respectfully to student feedback, adapting lesson plans and practice routines accordingly to help maintain motivation when any barriers to progress are encountered. His wonderful dry sense of humour and visual metaphors have helped me to grasp guitarist skills, enabling me to switch between my parallel instincts as an organist and keyboard player. Marcus deserves particular praise for his positive resilient response to the public health precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic. His transfer of our weekly lessons from in-person meetings to Zoom video conferencing is preserving the continuity and quality of tuition. In some aspects, the use of video is enhancing my homework with his creative use of multiple film camera angles to illustrate smooth fretboard navigation. Thank you Marcus for helping this former teenage musician re-discover his love of performing music in adulthood.Moreexpand_more
Response : Hi Duncan, Glad to hear the switch to online lessons is working well for you! I am working on making further improvements to this service and finding ways to help you and all my students get the best possible learning experience, so as always, constructive feedback is welcome. Marcus.

Marcus is an exceptional guitar tutor. He combines excellent ability, enthusiasm, sensitivity of students needs, and progressive teaching techniques. He has transformed by son’s guitar learning experience from something that ‘had to be done’ to something he is genuinely excited about. It’s been transformative! Marcus has done this by taking a careful and thoughtful approach to what would work best for what my son wants in terms of progression. This means lots of rock guitar and examples of shredding solos! The use of software is very productive. Games and tutorials maintains interests will building solid skills. The progress has been remarkable. More importantly my son has reconnected with his love of guitars and music. I would highly recommend Marcus as a guitar tutor.Moreexpand_more
Response : Hi James, Thanks for your review. It’s really great to hear that my lessons have helped your son reconnect to his love for music and guitar. He has a lot of potential and I look forward to what he can achieve in the future, long term. Marcus.

Marcus is a very nice and dedicated guitar teacher. I enjoyed his lessons for almost a year. Southampton Guitar Academy is definitely the way to go if you are looking for a fun learning environment. He makes you learn by playing your favourite songs while at the same time introduces you to theoretical contents. Totally recommend it!

Marcus is a talented and knowledgeable teacher who has provided me with inspirational guitar lessons. It has been fun whilst I have learned so much, not just about how to play but also about music theory. Marcus provides a very structured but flexible approach for the adult learner and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with their guitar playing.

I chose Southampton Guitar Academy from a whole host of guitar teachers online because of the structured learning that was offered when I first read the web site. I am thoroughly pleased that I asked Marcus to further my guitar playing knowledge as I always found him patient yet eager to teach and he truly has a passion for both playing, teaching and advancing people's skills. I have no hesitation in recommending Marcus of Southampton Guitar Acadamy as I have experienced the benefits of lessons with him.
