Being the youngest Australian to open his own guitar school

What You Will Learn:

The acoustic guitar is a great place to start for both beginners & seasoned players alike. It can be strummed as a rhythmic instrument or played finger style on nylon or steel strings.

Within the first few lessons, beginner students will learn how to play basic notes & chords and even take on a simple song or two!

Bill will teach you:

The art of basic strumming
The perfect finger picking techniques
How to play an acoustic or electric guitar
The most effective way to practice at home
How to develop your musical confidence
Guitar theory & how to read music
How to enjoy music & become proud of your achievements in playing!

What You Need:

A positive attitude and an appetite for learning.

All lesson material is FREE.

To get the most from your lessons, everybody needs to practice at home. A good rule of thumb is 15+ minutes a day to get the most out of your weekly lessons.

If you are a beginner but don’t have an instrument just yet, and are still a little unsure if playing the guitar is actually for you, why don’t you do a trial lesson with one of our guitars?

For those wanting to be super prepared for your lessons, owning your own guitar doesn’t have to be overly expensive… a pre-loved guitar will work just as well as a brand new one.
