I am a well established guitar and ukulele teacher from New Zealand who has recently moved to Brisbane to live with my Australian partner and to enjoy what this beautiful sunny city has to offer. I have 10 years of experience as a guitar tutor and 5 years of tertiary music qualifications, I have taught over 200 students with abilities ranging from beginner to advanced.
From a young age I have been a performing musician playing genres such as rock, blues, jazz, folk, pop and reggae/ska/dub. However, for me, teaching is not a side gig to supplement my music career, it is my full time and only job and my students have my complete dedication. Reliability, integrity and consistency are important to me as an educator but, unfortunately, these traits are sometimes absent in the music industry. It has always been my priority that my students know they come first.
In my spare time I enjoy mountain biking, tramping (this is what New Zealanders call multi-day hiking), running, camping, reading, good food and coffee, and traveling.
