Expertise. At your fingertips.
Online classical guitar lessons give you direct access to our private one-to-one tuition wherever you are in the world.
Your location no longer limits your choice of teacher. Enjoy lessons live from your own practice space. Our pupils login from all over the world to access our tuition. Join the growing number of pupils choosing to learn with CGA.
The same individual attention. Online.
Online changes where the lesson happens—not the quality of the tuition.
Pupils receive the same expert insight, critique and assessment. Practice assignments are equally as detailed and focused as in-person lessons. Demonstrations may include multiple camera angles where appropriate, giving deeper insight into the workings of effective playing technique than ever before.
Enjoy all the benefits of traditional live tuition: real-time feedback, adaptive teaching and the same authentic human interaction you would receive in person—but with your slippers on and a brew in your favourite mug.
Save time and money. Learn from home
Online lessons remove the journey to and from every lesson, making regular tuition easier to fit into your weekly routine. Lessons slot seamlessly into whatever pocket of time you might have without needing to build in a travel buffer on either side of your appointment.
Log in from the place where you already practise, with your guitar, music and usual setup close at hand. It could not be any simpler.

BASED ON: 25 mins each way × 40 lessons = 33h 20m
Illustrative estimate based on 25 minutes each way, 40 lessons and approximately 12.5 miles each way at an average 30 mph. Car cost uses HMRC’s 2026–27 approved 55p-per-mile rate, which covers general motoring costs. Actual routes and savings vary.
Record. Review. Refine.
Optionally choose to record your lesson, watch it back whenever you like to revise key concepts or to review movements for technical accuracy.
Over time you’ll build a personal library of highly tailored classical guitar tuition videos. Yours to keep, forever.
Revise details.
One major grievance of in-person lessons is forgetting key details or concepts becoming more hazy as time goes on. By recording your lesson, you can return to specific explanations over and over again until you feel confident you have grasped every detail.
Build your library.
Over time, the recordings become your own reference library: lessons shaped around your pieces, technique, questions and goals rather than generic course material. Recording is optional and the practical arrangements are confirmed before the lesson.
Your teacher · Ed Peczek
Classical Guitar Expertise
Ed trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and has spent more than two decades teaching classical guitar. His experience spans first lessons, advanced repertoire and preparation for further musical study - including applications to music Conservatoire or University.
That experience serves a practical purpose: recognising what a player needs, explaining it clearly and finding a way to work on it. A difficulty is something to understand, without judgement.
Online tuition makes that specialist guidance available beyond Derby. The longer-term aim is the same: a player who listens thoughtfully, practises with purpose and makes increasingly independent musical choices.

From Grade 3 work to a Grade 8 distinction.
- Starting point
- Mike began online lessons in November 2020 at approximately Grade 3 level, seeking stronger playing and progress through examinations.
- Lesson focus
- Ed devised individual technical work alongside close study of repertoire, expression and performance. Later work developed listening, musical understanding and coordination.
- Progress
- Mike achieved distinctions at Grades 5 and 6 in 2021, then reported a Grade 8 distinction in April 2023.

Before you decide.
Are online lessons suitable for complete beginners?+
They can be, when we can establish a clear view, usable sound and a comfortable playing setup. You do not need to read music already. Tell Ed what instrument and device you have so suitability can be discussed before booking.
Can Ed assess technique through a camera?+
Many aspects of posture, movement, fingering and coordination can be observed online. Ed may ask you to slow down or change the camera angle. If a detail cannot be judged reliably through the call, he can explain that limitation and discuss another approach.
Do I need a special microphone?+
No specialist microphone is required to begin. Start with the camera and microphone in your device, then assess whether the sound is clear enough for useful work. Optional improvements should solve a specific problem, rather than become a barrier to a first lesson.
Which device should I use?+
A laptop or tablet usually makes demonstrations easier to see, but a phone can work if it is held securely and gives a useful view. Choose the device that provides a stable call without making your playing position awkward.
Where should I place the camera?+
Begin far enough away to show your posture, both hands and the guitar. Put light in front of you rather than behind you, and keep the device stable. A closer angle can then be used when a particular movement needs attention.
Can we play together online?+
Normal video-call delay makes simultaneous playing unreliable. Lessons use demonstration, listening and response: one person plays while the other listens, then you discuss or try the idea. Synchronous duet playing is not promised.
Can children learn online?+
Online lessons are available from age six. Suitability depends on the child, their engagement and the practical support available. Younger learners may need help joining, tuning or moving the camera. The tutor meets a parent or guardian at the first online lesson. Agree supervision, attendance and communication arrangements with Ed before booking.
Can I book an occasional consultation?+
CGA offers one-off sessions as well as regular tuition. An online appointment can focus on a particular difficulty or piece. Describe what you want to work on when enquiring, and confirm availability and the appropriate lesson length.
Can online tuition support grade or audition preparation?+
Lessons can help with technique, repertoire, interpretation and a practice plan for a defined goal. Share the requirements and date in advance. Mike’s published story provides one example of examination preparation through online tuition; outcomes depend on the individual and their work.
Can I alternate between online and studio lessons?+
A combination of formats can be discussed, including occasional visits to Derby alongside online lessons. Agree the pattern and any changes with Ed; switching format does not override the applicable booking or cancellation terms.
Can I record my online lesson?+
Yes. You may record your online lesson yourself for private study, with Ed’s written consent in advance. For a child, a parent or guardian must also give written consent beforehand. CGA does not routinely record lessons at this time.
“The lessons are well structured, with exercises to improve my technique, well chosen pieces of music for my ability…”
