One-on-One Lessons, Tailored to You
I’ve spent the last 15 years playing live, recording, and helping people feel more confident in their playing.
I teach private guitar and bass lessons from my home studio in West Footscray—or online.
Lessons are one-on-one, shaped around your goals—and grounded in tools I’ve picked up from years of real-world playing.
Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time or looking to refine what you already do, we’ll work on the tools and techniques to help build your skills and get you making music.
What my students are saying.
Who These Lessons Are For?
If you want to build real musical fundamentals—the kind that make everything you play feel clearer, easier, and more expressive—these lessons are for you.
Most of my students are teens and adults, either starting fresh or returning after time away. Your level and style are completely flexible. The only real requirement is an interest in learning the core musical skills that everything else builds on.
We focus on foundations because that’s where the real growth happens:
Fretboard confidence
How chords, melodies, and harmony connect
Strong internal time and groove
Learning by ear and listening deeply
A toolkit you can take into any style or situation
This approach gives you clarity and control, no matter what songs you love or where you want your playing to go.
There’s no rush and no pressure. We move steadily so the fundamentals become part of how you play.
