About

Guy Houchen has been playing guitar for over forty years and professionally for thirty. He studied at the Guitar Institute London and subsequently gained a Music and Theology degree at the London School of Theology.

Much of his playing experience was gained with the Jazz Funk band Beehive, co-founded in 1992. During its seven year existence Beehive toured both nationally and internationally playing in a wide variety of clubs, universities and festivals. The band recorded two E.P’s and an album, the latter earning them a MOBO award.

He now teaches over 60 students a week in 2 secondary schools, higher education and private lessons.

What People Are Saying

 

 “A very friendly and informative teacher with skills across all genres. Guy has set me up with a vast amount of knowledge and skills which have allowed me to get into music college in Birmingham and even move to Brighton to do a Degree in music performance a year early.” 

— Alex E.

Guy began teaching me my first chords 7 years ago. Since then he has taken me though numerous grade exams, GCSE music preparation and more recently preparing me for jazz university auditions. Guy is an inspiring guitar player and dedicated teacher in and out of the classroom. Can’t thank him enough for the musical passion he has instilled in me.
