Rob Cole
Hi all, i am the founder and owner of RWC Education and have been teaching guitar and piano for 12 years. I love teaching all genres and tailoring lessons to suit the aspirations of the student. I keep lessons fun, we will learn songs that YOU want to learn and even play along with the songs on YouTube. Speaking of recordings, one of the fun things i like to do with my students is get them to record their songs to a vocal backing track, allowing them to create their very own unique version!
If you’d like to take exams i can also help with this, my students have a 100% pass rate.
If you want to learn an instrument, make some noise and have fun whilst doing it, get in touch!
