University Qualified Music Teacher with 7 years of experience delivering tailored instruction for HSC songwriting and theory (Music 1), Beginner/Intermediate songwriters of all ages, and Intermediate Guitar

Lessons can take a holistic approach, combining guitar technique, music theory and composition/songwriting, or focus more deeply on one particular area depending on the student's interests and objectives.

My approach is centered around developing a well-rounded understanding of music while tailoring each lesson to the individual student's interests, goals and existing abilities. I aim to create a relaxed and collaborative learning environment where students can develop their technical skills, musical understanding and creative confidence.

My teaching covers three main areas and are not limited to the following:

Guitar (Lead)- Learning New songs/solos, Developing fret-board fluency, navigating shapes and positions to create melodic lines, improving legato and alternate-picking technique, and building an understanding of chords, extensions, scales and modes.

Music Theory: Covering notation and TAB reading, chord construction and extensions, harmony, and developing fluency across the keyboard or fretboard. Lessons can follow the AMEB framework or take a more personalized approach.

Composition and Songwriting: Helping students develop their own musical ideas, write for multiple parts, create smooth transitions between sections and strengthen their compositions through constructive feedback.

I place an emphasis on understanding the reasoning behind musical concepts, rather than simply learning patterns or techniques by rote. I encourage students to apply what they learn creatively and develop their own musical voice.

Lesson length

Lessons are available online in either 30-minute or 60-minute sessions, depending on the student's needs and preferences. Face-to-face lessons may also be arranged depending on availability and location.

Qualifications and experience

-Qualified Music Teacher with a Bachelor of Arts/Education (Music) from UNSW

• 7 Years of teaching the NSW HSC Music 1 Curriculum with evidence of strong performances and growth in my students.
• Over 12 years of experience in guitar playing, songwriting and music theory.

Who are the lessons for?

Whether you're looking to become a more capable guitarist, better understand music theory, or develop your songwriting and composition, lessons can be adapted to suit your individual level and goals. Lessons are suitable for students who already have some foundational playing experience and are looking to expand their technical ability, theoretical understanding or compositional skills.

For performance, I am primarily looking to work with intermediate-level guitarists who are interested in taking their musical development further
