I have been saving up for a year now while practicing guitar by myself and I've goten to the stage where I feel stuck like I'm not making any progress.
I have decided I want to be taught now and don't know whether I should take private lessons or look for a music school to attend.
If it would be better to go to a music school and learn acoustic/jazz guitar where would be a good school to go?
I am in UK in the london area by the way.
Advice will be much appreciated.
It depends on the instructor. The late Craig Bolyn, one of the best guitarists I ever knew, easily on a par with Clapton, refused to teach anyone who owned a Silvertone or other cheap guitar with the strings a quarter of an inch from the frets. He himself played an old Les Paul, whose action made it possible for him to play with little effort. If you find a private instructor like that, he's worth every penny. I only wish I had taken lessons! (My consolation is that I became fluent on blues harp!)

I already bought the soundtrack and plan to use more than thirty seconds (or 10%) of a music track. I don’t know if more information is necessary.
Usually it’s alright for educational purposes. Even so it’s best to give credit. In some schools you can get into trouble for not referencing your sources in an essay. It could be considered the same thing with music, so I would suggest just giving the name of the song and the artist at the end, in the credits or something.

my teacher said that if its unblocked we can listen to music….and its not like i dont wait until im finished researching and writing…its afterwards.
oh god.
nobody cares whats in it.
everybody has heard cursing.
it's not like were 10.
Your school has certain sites blocked for a reason. Usually, it's due to questionable content on the sites.
You may be allowed to hear music with occasional light curse words like damn, hell, etc. Some parents don't want their kids to hear that in music. Same with pictures. You could be allowed to view semi nudity & other kids may not be allowed. So the school blocks those kinds of sites to everyone to protect themselves from being sued.
Ask your teacher to use a boombox or an Ipod with a speaker system instead. With the boombox, you can bring kid friendly CDs from home to share. With an Ipod, the library can be kid friendly there too.

Do you think I can still get better if I practice and not have a teacher or peers besides maybe a couple friends? I used to practice so furiously when I was in school, now I haven’t played in a long time, I want to find a reason to play again
Of course all you need is willpower, you don’t NEED teachers there to make you better. I feel that after music school you’re too advanced for teachers anyway and need to learn stuff on your own.
