Paul Waring - Guitar & Bass Tuition, Repairs, Setups & Customisations

About Me

Hi, my name is Paul Waring. I have been involved in music for over 30 years from playing recorder and violin at primary school to trombone, guitar, bass, drums and piano at secondary school. I have played in a wide range of ensembles including orchestras, wind bands, brass bands, big bands and show bands, as well as many other bands playing rock, soul, funk, pop, metal, etc, etc.

I have been a songwriter and composer for over twenty-five years and have been recording my own work in my home studio for most of that time. This has given me a depth of knowledge regarding MIDI and Digital Recording (it has all come a long way from the Atari ST).


Guitar & Bass Guitar Lessons

I have taught guitar and bass guitar lessons to all ages for over fifteen years. I was a guitar and bass tutor at George's Music Store in Walsall and later in Aldridge.

I have taught in local primary schools and I am registered with the University of Wolverhampton via the Black Country Children's University program.

I provide online lessons using Skype, Facebook and Whatsapp. I am currently providing lessons for Guitar, Bass and Ukulele.

I teach pupils in groups of no more than four and I group my students by ability. As well as providing my own lesson sheets I also utilise the Rockschool courses for guitar and bass. I also provide homework so that what I have been teaching can be worked upon until the next lesson.

For your peace of mind I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate (via Walsall Council).

Lessons are £20.00 per hour (£10.00 per half hour).

For pupils aged 12 and under lessons are £10.00 per hour (£5.00 per half hour).

If you would like any further information regarding lessons please contact me on 07761 348835 or email me at pmwaring@hotmail.com

Guitar Repairs and Set-Ups
