It brings me enormous pleasure to know that my students, of all ages, are wildly enthusiastic about their lessons – often enjoying them far more than they thought they would – and that they progress quickly through their learning with me.
Below are a handful of messages, reviews and comments received from parents, colleagues and students themselves.
“Rafay really enjoyed the lesson and hasn’t stopped talking about it. He’s trying to teach me now and wants a lesson with you every day 🤣.“ ~ Shaz (parent)
“Mark has made such a positive impact upon our school. He is approachable, friendly and dedicated. The children (and staff) have loved the guitar (and drum) assemblies he has put on for us and the parents all value him hugely too. The children who started learning the guitar a year ago now, have come on in leaps and bounds and we are so pleased with all that Mark has helped them to achieve.“ ~ Clare (Head Teacher, Booker Hill Primary School)
“Mark and I have built up a good rapport over the past 2 yrs – I am particularly impressed with both his approach to a mature student and also he goes the extra mile to sorting tracks to play along with.“ ~ Nick (adult student)
“Mr Campbell is an amazing teacher and the favourite thing about my lesson is learning how to do new things.“ ~ Mollie (year 6 student)
“I’m getting much better at using the right fingers and I’m looking forward to grade 1 … Mr Campbell is a good teacher who is awful at doing death stares, which I like. He is also kind.“ ~ Olivia (year 5 student)
“Mark has a wonderful rapport with children and young adults and is a very kind and gentle person.“ ~ James (colleague)
“Mr Campbell is kind and supportive… I am learning something new every lesson.“ ~ Nathan (year 6 student)
“Mr Campbell taught me how to play guitar in a different way than all the other teachers. I am getting much better at playing a tirando stroke. I’m looking forward to my grade 1 exam. Instruments are fun to learn.“ ~ Rosi (year 5 student)
“All the songs I learn sound good after a lot of practise, becoming something I can be proud of. My favourite thing about my lesson is learning new songs and more ways to improve to become a better guitarist. Mr Campbell is a great teacher who has taught me so much, geting me prepared for my grade 2. I’m getting much better at getting the correct tempo and notes. I’m looking forward to playing more guitar in year 6 with all my friends.“ ~ Bethany (year 5 student)

“One of the best teachers I’ve had all year. Really fun and funny. It is really fun learning the chords and improving in everything I do.“ ~ Emily (year 6 student)
