Akash
About
Hello! My name is Akash Roy , and I am a classical guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and dedicated music teacher.
I have completed higher grades in classical guitar and hold a Trinity College London teaching certificate. With over seven years of experience teaching, I specialize in classical and flamenco guitar, while also teaching acoustic, fingerstyle, and popular music.
Currently, I teach students of all ages and skill levels, including those preparing for Trinity and ABRSM exams. My teaching approach is centered on helping students build a solid foundation in technique, musicianship, and injury-free playing while keeping lessons engaging and enjoyable. I believe that learning music should be both structured and flexible, adapting to the unique needs of each student.
In addition to private lessons, I have experience mentoring students in music schools and working with special needs learners. My lessons focus on developing strong technical skills, musical expression, and confidence in performance—whether you're playing for personal enjoyment or aiming for professional growth.
If you're looking for a teacher who will guide you with patience, expertise, and a personalized approach, I would love to help you on your musical journey. Let’s make music together!
Teaching Style
My teaching approach is structured yet flexible, adapting to each student's goals and skill level. I emphasize proper technique to ensure comfort and efficiency while playing, preventing strain or injury. Along with practical skills, I incorporate music theory, ear training, and sight-reading to develop well-rounded musicianship. I believe learning should be enjoyable, so I include songs and styles that inspire my students while maintaining a strong foundation. For those preparing for Trinity, ABRSM, or performances, I provide clear guidance to build confidence. My goal is to help students become expressive, independent guitarists while enjoying the process.
