What Are My Rates?

It all depends on the level of the student and what the student needs. The requirement of a young beginner is different to a self taught person of any age. Requirements also change over time as the student progresses. The first lesson structure may change to include other options. Increased time on one instrument; picking up a second instrument, and/or to taking advantage of the jam sessions are examples of how each student's requirements can be different.

Just contact me and we'll arrange a time to talk.

Guitar Buying Guide

Here is a link which will help you decide which guitar to buy. I haven't
bought anything from them myself, but one of my students has. I saw the guitar only recently and I liked it.

I use rockshop.co.nz , you could compare prices.

I would recommend buying a new guitar because you know it would be in good condition.

I hope that helps

Introduction

Thank you for the possible opportunity to help you receive the best possible start in playing guitar, bass or drums.

Since 2007 I have been committed to providing people with the highest quality of tuition available. My ongoing development, starting in 2001, as teacher and musician, is guided by tutors involved with the top music tertiary institutions in the country. 

Their are many obstacles to becoming a strong musician. One of them is cost and the other one is the quality of the tuition. So I'm going to try and help you with that. Learning how to play music is expensive. There's a great saying which goes like this. “People go to a lot of trouble to find cheap lessons and then get a lot of trouble when they are found.” I'm going to help you out. I will ensure you will receive the best value. 

 

In short there is a complete programme of music which has been put together by the top music teachers in New Zealand. There is a direct link from beginner level, to gaining acceptance to the best music school in the country. Acceptance is based on audition and skill level only. This is a very rewarding and enjoyable journey.
