What my students are saying
“Graham transforms learning to play the guitar from a frustrating task to an addictive enjoyment. It’s rare to find someone who is as good at teaching as they are at the craft of playing guitar. Lessons are fun and completely client focused, I can’t recommend Graham as a teacher and mentor enough!”
~Brendan
“Graham has been fantastic at helping me understand music theory and has massively improved my playing. We’ve explored different styles and genres as they piqued my interest, which is a refreshing change from previous teachers that only teach one style of music. Would highly recommend him to anyone of any skill level.”
~Doug
“There has been amazing improvements in my playing that many people in my life have noticed when I’m performing. I am so much more confident with my solo-ing and knowing my way around the guitar. Graham is the most patient teacher I have ever had, always teaching me exactly what I want to learn.”
~Chloe
“I started lessons with Graham at the start of this year and couldn’t be more grateful for these lessons! Being a cover artist as well as an originals artist he really helps me improve my cover sets, and also understands that I’m a songwriter and shows me how I can apply my new guitar knowledge to my songs. I’m a better musician now compared to when I started learning from him. I get so excited for these lessons and always leave feeling so fulfilled - couldn’t recommend him more!”
~Grace
“Graham is a fantastic teacher, patient and flexible with lesson plans to allow you to develop at your own pace and follow your own musical journey, wherever that may lead.”
~Leighton
Make a plan
Focus on what interests you
Expand your theory
Expand your technique
Experiment and try different styles
Follow your curiosity and inspiration
How we fix these and develop your skills
Common frustrations I
hear as a teacher
Not knowing what to learn next
Not progressing the way you want
Feeling stuck with the instrument
Feeling limited as a player
Playing the same music over and over
Feeling uninspired
It's these frustrations my students bring to me that I focus on the most as a teacher. In our first lesson we identify where you are as a player, where you want to go, and figure out what is stopping you getting there.
Lesson by lesson we follow the 'map' that we've laid out, while also allowing room for your curiosity to call the shots. Our lesson becomes more of an enjoyable and engaging musical conversation and less of a dry tutorial. The whole point of music is for it to feel good!
My aim as a teacher is to pass on my enthusiasm for music. I've spent more than 16 years exploring the instrument, developing my skills and unlocking the creative freedom of the guitar. My goal is to pass this knowledge and enjoyment onto you.
I've worked in more than 10 different bands and projects - touring interstate, achieving national radio play, and performing at festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Woodford Folk Festival and Caloundra music festival.
~My Promise to you~
It's this experience with music on and off the stage
that I can offer you as a teacher
