About my Tuition

​​​
I have been playing the guitar for over 35 years, and have over 30 years teaching experience, teaching guitar lessons in schools and privately in Middlesbrough, Tees Valley, North Yorkshire and the wider region. I teach all styles of guitar, bass, mandolin and ukulele. Additionally, I offer tuition in music theory and song writing skills. If you are a complete beginner, want improve your skills or focus on a particular style or technique I can help at Mark Boden Guitar Tuition Teesside.
​
I have performed in the North East, North Yorkshire and the wider region with various rock bands, as a solo performer and currently with my Flamenco/Fusion ensemble. I have performed several times on BBC Radio Tees. I enjoy arranging masterclasses/workshops occasionally on targeted guitar styles, especially Flamenco, and delivering customised social song writing workshops to improve children and adults’ wellbeing.
The below video explains more about my guitar lessons and instrumental tuition.
