Hey there! My name is Ali and I am thrilled to welcome you to my evening guitar class and social for adults at the wonderful Clifton Community bookshop!
I have been inseparable from the guitar for nearly twenty years, beginning to learn the instrument when I was seven years of age and studying for eleven years before starting to teach at my first school when I was eighteen. Since then, I have taught at six different schools, become a tutor with Your Guitar Academy and taught dozens of private students between the ages of six to seventy.
Inspired by the joy and sense of community that comes from being a musician, my intention with this class is to create a fun, relaxed learning environment, where you can socialise with fellow guitarists, learn your favourite songs and the key skills required as a musician, as well as provide an ‘agony aunt’ for any of your guitar playing gripes and grudges!
Sessions are held every other Thursday from 7:15pm - 9pm. All beginner to intermediate players welcome with a minimum of one year’s playing experience suggested. Simply bring an acoustic guitar and enjoy!
