Bob began playing the guitar in his early teens and played extensively in both acoustic and electric styles before taking up the nylon strung classical guitar. He started formal lessons in his mid-twenties and progressed through practical and theory music grades with Trinity College London and ABRSM. In the mid 1990s Bob entered full time music education at Canterbury Christ Church University College graduating in 1998 with a BA (Hons) in music and again in 2000 with an MA in music performance. Bob's mentor for MA was the internationally renowned player John Mills. In 2015 Bob presented a recital for Trinity College London and was awarded an ATCL performers certificate. He is a well established professional musician and teacher and in recent years, adding to a discography of recordings, has been inspired to publish and record a series of original pieces for solo classical guitar.
During the Covid pandemic, lessons are offered on-line via Zoom or FaceTime. Bob teaches all aspects of classical guitar technique and includes relevant and useful music theory as a routine.
