Bio
Why Choose Me as Your Guitar Teacher?
With over a decade of experience as a full-time guitar and ukulele tutor, a Bachelor of Music specialising in jazz, a Diploma in Audio Engineering and Music Production, and more than 30 years as a musician, I bring extensive expertise to the table. But credentials alone aren’t why I should be your mentor.
I strive to be the opposite of the Instagram-style tutors dominating today’s instant gratification culture. You’ve seen the clickbait: “Avoid These 7 Guitar Mistakes” or “Master the Fretboard with This One Hack.” These approaches often prioritize chasing algorithms over providing meaningful, hands-on education.
Instead of focusing on flashy social media content, I dedicate my energy to my students, offering personalized, practical lessons. Teaching isn’t my side gig—it’s my profession, and my students are my priority.
