Bio

Learn the music you love, develop your skills, and enjoy playing guitar.

With over 30 years of teaching experience, I offer friendly, personalised guitar tuition for students of all ages and abilities from my private studio in Dunedin.

I teach acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass, covering a wide range of styles including rock, blues, pop, country and acoustic fingerstyle. Whether you’re picking up a guitar for the first time, developing your lead playing, or looking to improve your technique, I’ll help you build your skills at a pace that suits you.

Lessons can include chords, rhythm, scales, modes, improvisation, music theory, tablature and sight-reading. You’re also encouraged to choose songs and styles that interest you, so learning stays practical, enjoyable and relevant to your musical goals.

I hold a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the University of Otago and have enjoyed a varied performing career. I’ve toured and recorded with pianist Jan Preston, performed at festivals with Valley Bluegrass, and played across genres including country, blues and pop.

My teaching approach is patient and practical. Everyone learns differently, so I tailor lessons to the individual, building confidence and musical ability one step at a time.

Whether your goal is to play songs around the house, perform with others, develop your lead guitar skills or explore music more deeply, I’d be happy to help you on your musical journey.
