We all love music; it holds a power that very few things can hold in life. It can evoke memories, push us to dance, move us to tears, bring joy in the best of times and comfort us in the worst. It issomething very few people can live without. Often as listeners we are powerless to it and yet there are those us who can wield its power and make it live through us in a way that cannot be imagined; we call ourselves musicians and I can tell you as one who has played for nearly ten years, performed in countless bands, written numerous songs and has earned a First Class Bachelors Degree in its study I could not begin to express how great my life has been because of it and how much of close friend music has become.

I've been a musician for many years, originally playing bass guitar and then moving on to learn acoustic guitar, piano, drums, ukulele and most recently the double bass. Since first picking up thebass guitar my passion for music has continued to grow leading me on to study A-levels in music and music technology and gaining a first class degree in creative music and sound technology.

Maestoso Music was founded in 2002 by Paul Gregory. As a professional guitarist and teacher, Paul realised the poor choice of classical guitars available to his students. Unbelievably, they ownedguitars with poor sound, inaccurate intonation and awkward actions! In quite a small way, Paul imported some guitars from Spain. He visited makers and discussed in detail how the construction might be improved.

Our courses have been designed for working people who do not have the opportunity to commit to learning full time. Our courses and lessons have been tailored to allow students to learn in short andeasy steps, with all courses accompanied by learning materials for home and spare time study.

There are several bands featured here (see left) but I play with many more groups and countless fine musicians. This website is geared towards jazz, latin and gypsy jazz but I do play many otherstyles of music too, such as funk, pop, reggae, classical, blues, rock 'n' roll, tango and so on. If you do not find what you are looking for here, please do not hesitate to get in touch as I can provide just about any type of music for any event.
