Bio
Kiaora!
I started playing music when I was 8 years old and have never stopped! I’ve been in bands that whole time, with stints teaching English and I’ve added music production and recording my own original music to my skill-set. I come from a musical family, my Dad has been teaching music for over 50 years and my sister is a music therapist and gigging musician.
I currently play guitar for Rhombus, and have played in The Woolshed Sessions, Rhian Sheehan, Jess Chambers band, Zuvuya, Safari and many others over the years.
I have been teaching guitar and bass for the last sixteen years, with the last 12 years in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. I have just returned to Wellington (early 2024), where I had a successful guitar teaching business from 2008-2012 (Your Style Guitar).
I have a studio space on Abel Smith Street, currently open on Wednesdays, although if your schedule doesn’t allow a Wednesday lesson at the studio, we can chat about alternatives for other days of the week.
Teaching Info
The way I love to teach is through using songs that are familiar to the student. We learn technique, rhythm and gain strength through playing our favorite songs. We make a list of favorite genres and songs, and then pick the songs appropriate for your level. I will also add some songs and exercises that have been helpful over the years.
Lets have fun with music!
