Guitar Lessons
Bio
Thinking about learning guitar or getting back into it?
Hi, I’m Kim! I offer one-on-one private lessons from my home studio in Castle Hill – tailored to your goals. From complete beginner to more advanced. All ages welcome — whether it’s for you or your child.
- 30 years of playing experience (helped me create effective lessons that get results!)
- Personalised lessons (learn the music you actually want to play!)
- Working With Children Check (incl. police check)
- Relaxed, friendly home studio in Castle Hill
- Parents are welcome to stay during lessons
Why should you take lessons from me?
Real lesson workbooks, not generic photocopies.
Most guitar teachers use similar resources. I got tired of watching students lose interest in books that weren’t built for them. So I wrote my own workbooks from scratch. Every lesson follows a structure that develops skills and playing style, not just sets of isolated exercises.
30 years of playing, teaching the way I wish I’d been taught.
Three decades on guitar means that I have gained a lot of experience, and my students benefit from that. We focus on what is needed to be proficient, taking shortcuts where we can to accelerate progress.
Whether you’re 8 or 68, picking up a guitar for the first time or restarting after years away, lessons are built around you, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Try your first lesson, free.
No pressure, no commitment. Come and see if it’s the right fit.
Teaching Info
I’ve written my own lesson workbooks because I found most available books simply don’t excite students. Every student gets a workbook (Beginner or Intermediate) built around real musical foundations; not just chord shapes to memorise.
You’ll work through:
- Reading music (standard notation, tab, chord charts, rhythm).
- Musical theory, focus on guitar fundamentals.
- Rhythm guitar: Chords and strumming.
- Lead guitar: scales, fretboard, ornamentation and technique.
- Playing songs with other musicians (eg in a band).
- Composition and songwriting.
- Equipment maintenance and gear selection.
Want to sing while you play? I can help with the basics there too.
Your first lesson is free. Come and see how it works before committing to anything.
I offer private one-on-one lessons from my home studio in Castle Hill, NSW. Online lessons are available, however are less preferred. In person lessons allow me to see exactly what the student is doing, which may need correcting.
Most lessons will be 30 minutes, however older students or students preparing for a performance may benefit from a longer lesson (eg 45-60 minutes).
Tailored to the needs and goals of each student, lessons will follow a general structure of:
- musical theory
- guitar technique
- a focus song that the student selects (this may carry over multiple lessons)
