David Crooks

Originally self-taught because guitar teachers didn't exist where he grew up - David learned guitar at university where there were many excellent players.

After a career in teaching, when he also did guitar teaching in his spare time, in 2009 David did the ABRSM Teaching Certificate, and has been teaching full-time since then. David loves to see the progress students make when they practise! David is a keen football supporter – you can ask him which team, and a whizz at cryptic crosswords.

He has also written comedy scripts for TV and as he says:

“The guitar tuition costs money however the bad jokes are free, but non-negotiable."
