Bio
Hi There!
We’re Spiderhands Productions, a company based in Christchurch, New Zealand, currently specializing in Music Lessons to students of all ages, stages, and musical backgrounds.
Our passion lies in offering Professional, Enjoyable, and Affordable Tuition Services to those who want to become skilled instrumentalists, songwriters, producers, or performers.
We teach a variety of instruments and have done so since 2014, the year our company was founded.
We offer free trial lessons to all new students – and should you enjoy the first session, you’re more than welcome to continue with tuition for as long as you need. Some of our students have attended 200 lessons and learned multiple instruments, studio recording, and music production!
We mention all this because the truth is – we don’t just teach our students the ways of mastering their chosen instrument. We also teach music theory, composition, performance skills, studio production, and everything else required to become a fully independent musician!
The reason for this is that the modern music industry requires more than just a “skilled performer”; successful musicians in the 21st Century have all the necessary tools to make the most of what’s on offer within the increasingly competitive climate of the international music industry.
In essence – we aim to cover everything required so that our students can become Knowledgeable, Confident, and Happy Musicians.
About The Tutor
Logan Ellis has been teaching music (privately and then through Spiderhands Productions) for 13 years and has spent at least 20 years studying music through Cashmere High School, The Christchurch School of Music, MAINZ (Te Tai Poutini Polytech), and the University of Canterbury, in addition to mastering the various instruments and styles that he teaches to his students.
We currently offer tuition services for:
– Guitar,
– Drums,
– Bass Guitar,
– Piano & Keyboard,
– Ukulele,
– DJing,
– Music Production,
– and Audio Engineering.
Our Lesson Studio is in Hassals Lane, Waltham.
At this point, we offer 1-on-1 Music Tuition to anyone keen to learn.
Lesson Times & Availability
Currently, we offer lessons within our Music Studio in Hassals Lane, Waltham. We usually teach up to 60 students per week.
Our Available In-Person Lesson Slots (updated daily) are as follows:
– Mondays 7 pm
Our Music Lessons are typically 30 minutes, though we can do hour lessons if preferred (depending on availability).
While we understand that fortnightly lessons can be more convenient for some people, we do not offer fortnightly lessons. We have found that students typically do better if they come in every week.
Finally – we offer a free 30-minute trial lesson for all new students! If you’re keen, why not give it a go?

Teaching Info
Our services (throughout the time that we’ve operated) have existed to enable 100s of students to become Knowledgeable, Confident, and Happy Musicians. Our goal with our tuition is to get you to where you want to be so that you can achieve your musical goals, ambitions, and aspirations.
Our lessons are customized and tailored to your needs, and we discussed in the free first-trial lesson that we offer to all new students. We want you to feel comfortable, secure, and engaged with the lesson material – and we want it to be a fun, enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
We are comfortable providing notation/sheet music for students and also assist students with NCEA assessments and grading examinations.
Students can borrow instruments (if needed) during the lessons.
Again – if you have any questions about any of the details you’ve read on this page, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We’re happy to help and look forward to hearing from you soon!
"I'm happy that I've learned to play the drums - I know what everything is and that I've learned new beats each week!"
Ryan
"I think that the way the the material has been presented is really good and that it's good that Logan was patient and genuine."
Mike
"I've always found it hard to learn from others and always struggled with school and learning in general but Logan did an excellent job in teaching me. I don't know what Logan does differently to others, but whatever he does, he should just keep doing it. I really liked his casual and carefree attitude in teaching. Logan made it feel like nothing was a hassle or an issue."
Hamish
"I like that there's a relaxed atmosphere, open discussions about drumming, that Logan answered my many questions. Good to be able to break down the songs as well (during lessons)!"
Bruce
I loved it here at Spiderhands. The teacher here is patient and he supports you no matter what happens.
Amber
Logan has substantial music knowledge and is always patient, down to earth and encouraging. The lessons are always enjoyable and I particularly like the way he helps me reach my musical goals.
