My name is Alastair Beveridge and I’m a guitarist and educator based in South West London.
After gaining degrees in music performance and production, I’ve been teaching professionally for over ten years. The wide range of settings I have worked in has granted me the pleasure of helping all kinds of people achieve their musical goals. I love sharing my passion for guitar playing, music and music production, helping people improve and seeing them enjoying the feeling of making progress. If this sounds like something you’d like me to help you with, please make an enquiry for lessons in person in Surbiton/Kingston Upon Thames, or online from the comfort of your own home via Zoom/Skype.

I have been one of Alastair’s students for a couple years now and have found him always to be a very enthusiastic teacher who makes the learning fun. My lessons with him have really payed off and he has helped me learn multiple audition and concert pieces for music school and boosted my confidence as a musician in general.

I was a self-taught rudimentary blues guitarist when I sought out Alastair's services. Alastair has been tenacious in filling my knowledge gaps and progressing me through ever-increasing guitar complexity, while at the same time validating what I thought I knew! As well as being an active performer, Alastair is an accomplished guitar teacher; he combines his encyclopedic knowledge of guitar theory, styles and technique with an empathetic approach to match his pupil's needs and circumstances.

You won't find a better teacher than Alastair. He is always patient, encouraging and enthusiastic. He is great at adapting his teaching approach to suit everyone, and really good at explaining things clearly.

​Alastair is an exceptional guitar tutor and musician. His ability to balance the practical and theoretical knowledge required to master the guitar whilst inspiring his students was impressive. We can't recommend him highly enough!
