Private Lessons
Nelson is sometimes available for private lessons during the day, occassionally Nelson and Karen are available in an evening or rarely at weekends.
Private lessons are a great way to make progress quickly. Letting Nelson know in advance what you are trying to achieve and or what topics you would like to cover will help make the best use of the lesson time. Lessons of 1hour, 1.5hours and 2hours work best. Less time and you can limit your progress, more time and you slow progress due to overload. Usually you provide the practise space, either owned, hired or borrowed. Just now and again venue space is available due to an event booking. Nelson charges £30 an hour but does not charge for travel unless it is outside East Devon. For Karen to join as well is an extra £20 an hour. If travel costs are needed then it is worked out on a case by case basis.
