Tuition

I have always gained much satisfaction from passing on what I have learned through my many years as a maker to those wanting to learn. I have, thus far, taught four eager learners who have since gone on to make a living from making high quality classical guitars.

That desire to share my knowledge has grown with the years and I am preparing tuition courses throughout the year.

“Chris helped me early in my career, teaching me to focus on the skills and details that make every build smoother and every guitar higher in quality. I learned a great deal from him!"

“Working under the guidance of Christopher Dean was one of the most special experiences of my career. We covered every aspect of the classical guitar–making process through a clear and objective method. It helped shape the understanding I have today of what a classical guitar truly is. And on top of that, we just had a great time together!"

I will be offering tuition to serious students who will already have had some experience with making guitars, either under their own experience or having already been taught at a college or alongside a maker.

I propose to go through all of the making process over a four or five week period where the student will follow my process of making as I demonstrate each step.

This probably will not allow time to include the polishing; that may be for a separate course.

As well as the making process I will be explaining all facets of running a business: funding, publicity, buying materials etc etc.
