One on one guitar lessons

Beginner to advanced

Lessons are tailored around what the students want to learn and I can also help students prepare for auditions and give advice from first hand experience with the business aspects of the music industry.

In my first year of studying music, I completed the diploma in Contemporary Popular Music Performance with a distinction and was also awarded Most Improved Guitarist of The Year Award with a year's endorsement to Ernie Ball.

I completed the higher diploma in my second year and went on to complete the degree for a further two years in which I was in a band which unanimously won a battle of the bands competition which was judged by a panel of music industry experts. The prize was to record a demo in a professional recording studio.

Whilst studying for the degree, I was chosen to perform live with Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The institute I studied at have a video recording of this.

I was taught by many leading professional guitarists within the industry.

Studying allowed me to develop playing in a range of styles including Rock, Pop, Funk, Metal, Latin, Reggae, Jazz etc. Some of the other key skills gained while studying were in pre production, post production, practical musicianship, technical and stylistic development, music business, music law, music theory, live performance, sight reading, session styles, solo performance, creative improvisation, composition and arrangement, and musical direction.
