Ford is available for one to one teaching on whistle and acoustic guitar. He teaches from his home in Sheffield as well as online. Drawing on his years of professional experience, Ford encourages his students to develop technical fluidity and creative expression through traditional ear-learning methods alongside modern music teaching practices. 

Everyone has a different journey and relationship with music. Some people want to develop professional level skills and some people want to improve for their own enjoyment and at their own pace. Neither is wrong or right, and Ford will try and help anyone get what they want out of learning music.

RESOURCES

I'm going to start creating a library of resources on this website of material I create for my teaching that I think it could be useful for anyone out there interested in learning whistle/guitar/theory and concepts of music. If you would like to show your support, feel free to make a donation using paypal.
