Nietzsche once said, ‘Without music, life would be a mistake’—don’t let yours be! My mission is to offer expert guidance & mentorship in a flexible learning environment, personalized for every student on their musical journey: from curious tweens to inspired seniors, complete novices to aspiring virtuosos.
Armed with 2 professional performance diplomas in classical guitar (LTCL, ATCL) and 2 academic postgraduate degrees in sound perception (PhD, MA), I’m also an Associate of the Institute of Registered Music Teachers of New Zealand (AIRMTNZ) and an RGT@LCM Registered Guitar Tutor (the guitar division of the London College of Music).
So whether you’re exploring the timeless classical repertoire or the latest acoustic pop/rock hits, I’ll guide you every step of the way. In the words of one of my students:
‘I can highly recommend Dr Kevin Mendousse to anyone wishing to improve their guitar playing, his teaching is transformative […] Kevin is a wonderfully organised teacher so there is no wasted time and this balanced with his enthusiasm and approachable manner is a complete winner. I have had many teachers on and off over the years and no one comes close to the calibre of Dr Kevin Mendousse.’ (Cyril – Orewa, NZ)

‘I have been a student of many classical guitar teachers—Kevin is at another level […] He is adaptive, patient, skilful and warm. Learning guitar is hard enough, and Kevin is really good at bringing across all the necessary elements and building blocks that so improve your playing. Good players are plenty, good players who can teach so well are rare!’

Heather (Christchurch, NZ)
