I provide a unique service where i provide guitar tuition with songwriting techniques as well as personal development skills for confidence and character building.

Over the past 3 years in particular from students at the Upper Coomera Community Centre, i have seen students achieve, grow more confident with everyday skills and have been informed by parents of there obvious delight in seeing there kids progress and better themselves with music.

I have also taught visiting students from overseas countries such as Korea and iam available for intensive guitar lessons depending on their length of stay.
