I'm Michael Bonner, and I'm one of those few.
Face2face lessons are best, but I also give lessons via
Facetime, Skype, Whatsapp, & Zoom.
Play With Ease
Most people struggle to play well because they hinder their movements with too much tension or awkward and inefficient use of their fingers, arms, even their whole body!
I want to share the knowledge from my PhD research with you so that you too can play effortlessly.
Sound Amazing
I've studied the physics behind classical guitars, so I can show you how to get the most out of your instrument to make the richest, most powerful sounds.
It's not just how you pluck the strings that's important, it's also the shape of your nails. Everyone's nails grow differently, I'll show you how to get the best out of them to make your guitar sing.
Practice Effectively
Most people don't know how to practice effectively and waste a lot of time. You could play for hours every day and get worse if you don't know how to practise, believe me - I've been down that route because none of my teachers advised me on this. I've developed practice strategies that work. Remember: only PERFECT practise makes perfect!
Watch Me Play
Here are two videos of me playing. You can see other videos of me playing classical guitar by clicking here.
