Bio
I’m a hardworking honest guitar teacher. I’ve been playing music for over 40 years. Appeared on T.V in Show Case 1996, Winner of the Smoke Free RockQuest 1992 – Exploding Poppies. Member of Certain Sounds Youth For Christ Australasian Touring Team 1997. Full Time Music Teaching for 20 years with over 35,000 private lessons.
My students have played in many public performances with over 30 Perrin Guitar Tuition Student Concerts ranging from Guitar Ensemble, Classical Guitar Ensemble, Pop & Rock Bands, solos etc.
I run weekly combo bands, guitar ensembles. Students enjoy meeting weekly for fun and an enjoyable musical experience, where they learn in a supportive environment how to become a better musician.
I’m an Experienced Registry of Guitar Teacher through the London College of Music. I prepare students each year for exams in Acoustic, Classical, Lead improvisation, Rock, Ukulele, Bass & Drums.
Happy for students to do One on One lessons either online or in person at my studio.
I have helped students with original composition & music theory and enjoy teaching students how to sing and play guitar in a non threatening safe environment where they are free to explore and improve their musical ability.

Teaching Info
Teaching and Sharing the Gift of Music – This is what it is about for me as a Teacher. Putting the student at the centre of the experience and encounter with their musical passion. Helping students work towards their genre or style they enjoy to play.
Creating a small community of musicians where members belong and feel comfortable playing with other musicians who understand the journey of becoming better musicians.
Providing public performance opportunities that are always supportive and uplifting to the students who participate.
Exams that give some of my students that much needed focus to achieve a specific goal resulting in greater excellence in their specialism.
I enjoy being versatile in my teaching and ready to go where the student wants to go.
Two of my sons are guitar students of Perrin Madsen. My eldest son Liam (age 13) has been taught by Perrin for nearly five years and is now working towards his Grade 7 RGT (Registry of Guitar Tuition) exam later this year. My younger son Marcos (age 10) has been attending lessons for approximately two years and will be sitting his Grade 3 RGT exam this year. I took my boys to Perrin because I wanted them to learn the guitar properly in both theory and technique. My wife and I initially attended Perrin's first student concert in 2010 before we enrolled Liam, basically to meet Perrin and see what his students had to say about him. We came away amazed at the talent and confidence of his students, not only the kids but also the adults performing in front of an audience. It's one thing to learn and instrument in your bedroom and become a proficient player. To get up on a stage and play through a full PA and play a part in a song , either singing lead vocal , a harmony or a lead guitar solo is an entirely different thing. To play with a group of people can be a very uplifting and rewarding experience as it requires so much more than simply knowing how to play your instrument. To me this is the most important part of Perrin's teaching style and it not only shows how much fun you can have playing your instrument but also shows the level of passion and dedication Perrin has for his students and music in general. I have seen first-hand how hard Perrin works to ensure his students achieve and exceed their goals and the best example of this was the recent accolade for Perrin Guitar Tuition achieving the highest student aggregate score across New Zealand for the most recent RGT exams. Learning music should be fun and Perrin has always struck the right balance of keeping things fun whilst also ensuring the absorption of knowledge is taking place. I think that is why a lot of people start to learn an instrument and don't carry on as the fun factor disappears and it can all seem like hard work. Perrin's approach has opened up a whole new world to my sons in terms of what they can explore musically by doing simple things such as recording them playing a song and putting it on a CD or singing through a vocal harmonizer whilst playing the guitar etc. which all goes towards keeping it fresh and exciting. Thanks Perrin for making my boys much better guitar players than me! Jared Lawson
