About
BoxTone Studio is based in Ware, Hertfordshire and run by an active gigging musician with over 35 years of experience on lead guitar and vocals — and more than 10,000 hours playing across hundreds of live performances.
Lessons draw on real-world playing experience — not just theory from a textbook. Whether you want to play your first chord, work through Rockschool grades, or develop your own style, lessons are built around what you actually want to achieve.
The same hands-on approach applies to guitar services and PA hire. Every setup is done by someone who plays, and every PA job is engineered by someone who understands live sound from the stage as much as from behind the desk.
As a long-standing Musicians' Union member, all tuition and live work is covered by £10 million public liability insurance — underwritten by Aviva through the MU. An enhanced DBS check is in place for all teaching involving under-18s.
