GUITAR TUTOR. COMPOSER. ORCHESTRATOR.

Jon Phipps MA is a guitar tutor, composer, and orchestrator, who teaches in both Ipswich and Colchester. 

Through academic study and years of experience, Jon has become a specialist in rock and metal guitar, as well as classical music composition and orchestration.

Bands from as far away as Kuwait have sought his expertise, and he has had the privilege to work alongside the world-famous composer David Fanshawe.

"Jon demonstrated excellent musicality on all the occasions that I have worked with him. His ability to understand the needs and sensitivities of my music set him aside amongst other musicians as one who can communicate his ideas clearly, whilst offering up creative suggestions and truly getting into the atmosphere and aesthetics of the music."
