Our Guitar Services
We offer a variety of structured, one-on-one guitar lessons in Oakden designed for kids, teens, and adults. Lessons are held at our welcoming home studio, equipped with amps, music stands, and learning materials to support every playing level. While we’re based in Oakden, many of our guitar students also come from nearby suburbs including Ingle Farm, Lightsview, Gilles Plains, Hillcrest, and Walkley Heights. Whether you’re just starting out or returning to music, we help students build confidence and musicality through a personalised and supportive approach.
Our acoustic guitar lessons focus on rhythm, chord transitions, fingerstyle technique, and foundational playing. Lessons follow a mixed approach combining practical skill-building with musical understanding — ideal for pop, folk, or singer-songwriter styles. Students are encouraged to bring their own guitar, though we have an acoustic available for trial lessons.
We’ll explore:
-
Chord progressions and strumming
-
Fingerstyle and rhythm development
-
Basic scales and creative expression
🎯 Best suited for:

Kids and teens just starting out

While we recommend bringing your own instrument and gear, our studio is fully equipped with amps, pedals, and materials to support in-lesson progress.

Fingerstyle and tab reading

Playing alongside backing tracks or drums

Specialised Guitar Programs
