Acoustic Guitar
Adam is a great tutor who I would highly recommend. From the beginning Adam asked me what music I liked and has focused our lessons around my tastes, which can be eclectic and varied. Adam can also back this up with a great understanding of music theory. Adam is patient with lots of encouragement and just what I needed to focus my guitar playing. I recently asked Adam to teach me some Christmas carols which he did without question 😊👍 Amazing guitar player too !!

Adam's been teaching me bass guitar for a number of months now. He's been fantastic and I've really enjoyed both the practical instrument tuition and also the associated music theory tuition. Lessons are informative, tailored to my needs, and also fun. He has vast knowledge and I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

I will highly recommend Adam Porter to any parent who is looking for a piano teacher for their kids. Mr. Porter has been teaching my 9-Year old son for over 2 years now. He is very friendly, supportive and encouraging to learn more to do better! He engages my son actively during the online sessions (considering the pandemic), my expectations have been surpassed watching my son grow as a pianist. My son did complete his initial grade with merit. I am very grateful to Mr. Porter for teaching my son and I look forward to seeing continued success. He deserves more stars than I can give here!

Bass Guitar
Adam is a patient teacher who knows a wide variety of techniques like slap bass, tapping, fingerstyle, picking etc. He can also teach many different genres and styles such as Funk, Jazz, Rock, Blues, Metal etc. He also understands the 'theory' side of music (such as scales, reading music and where all the notes are on your fret board) He's also happy to tailor the lessons to you, asking which songs you'd like to learn and breaking down to you the key, the rhythm and the scales that are involved in the song. Overall Adam has a lot of knowledge about the bass guitar and is very enthusiastic and passionate about what he does.
