Hi Guitarists!
Lessons open to all ages and skill levels, tailored to each student with an emphasis on developing well rounded skills required to play music both solo and in a group setting.
Some areas I like to cover:
Transitioning between chords emphasising rhythm and quality of sound - Right hand technique - Soloing/Improvising - Reading notated music - Rhythm - Tonal production - Learning the fretboard.
Lessons are conducted in Brunswick. I hold a valid Working With Children check.
