Jon Mayson Guitar Teacher + Musician in Wakefield, EN

ABOUT

I have been teaching guitar since I was 18 and have taught clients of all ages (from 4 years to 80 years). As well as peripatetic teaching I have worked for:

Yorkshire Mental Health (NHS)

H.M. Prison Wakefield

Knottingley Community Centre

Yorkshire Arts Circus

City Music School

In my one to one teaching I focus on general musicianship along with mastery of the instrument. I will look at music reading, music theory, aural (listening) skills, harmony, rhythm, improvisation and will look at technical exercises to build up speed and accuracy. These individual aspects are usually approached by means of selected songs from the Rock, Pop, Jazz, Blues and Folk repertoire as well as work sheets I have devised over the years.

My students have a 100% pass rate at merit or above including up to grade eight, in their RSL guitar exams.

From time to time I also put on "Guitar Ensemble Concerts" where students get to perform live in front of an audience with the backing of a professional backing band (See track 7).

Through my own studies on harmony, composition and improvisation I have become well versed in these areas and apply these skills to the work I do with Envizible Orkestra. The band has gained world wide recognition for its use of compositional devices such as complex meter change/poly-rhythm and improvisation (Tracks 1-6).
