Commercial Music student Sam Dixon has won 1st prize in Bath Spa University’s Business Plan Competition. GOGO GUITAR! is a fun and unique guitar tuition course aimed at children in primary schools between the ages of 7 and 10. The course challenges traditional methods of teaching, using new contemporary techniques with content that is more easily understood, enjoyed and absorbed by younger children and is already establishing itself as a popular course within primary schools as an after-school club, generating income through the sale of the course materials and also through the tuition fees from lessons.

Simon Bond, Director of the Innovation Centre in Bath and Chair of the Panel of Judges, said: “GoGo Guitar is absolutely on the money and is such a well thought-out idea that turns teaching on its head and makes it pay. Sam gave a fantastic presentation that was highly articulate and full of enthusiasm. Sam obviously lives and breathes his subject!”
