The main goal of teaching at Essendon Guitar is in a practical way - teaching you skills you need to have to be able to play real songs.
Over the last 11 years we have developed a teaching method which involves learning the fundamental guitar skills step-by-step, while applying them to popular rock and pop songs along the way.
“I would highly recommend Kieran as a guitar teacher for children and adults alike. He is a patient, encouraging instructor who demonstrates enthusiasm and passion towards both his music and students in a comfortable and professional environment.” – Michelle
If you're an absolute beginner wanting to learn the basics - our structured teaching method will go through all of the main fundamentals of the guitar to get you to playing your favourite songs.
If you already know a thing or two - our goal is to assess your strengths and weaknesses so we can help you get to the next level as a player, a free trial lesson will give us the chance to understand exactly what you want to learn, what you can already play, and where we can help you.
All students will have private lessons, where we introduce the main guitar skills step-by-step, including chords and picking, to start building the foundations to be able to reach your goals. Once we are seeing some confidence with these skills, there is the potential to go into a group lesson with another student to better develop timing skills, and to apply both rhythm and lead guitar techniques while developing early performance skills and confidence. Group lessons are dependant on availability, and are a cheaper rate than private lessons.
Every student is unique, and we keep a detailed track of your progress throughout our guitar lessons to appropriately plan each lesson to help you progress, while encouraging you to provide us with your goals and dream songs for us to work toward.
Some of the artists we'll be covering in just the first few lessons:
Ed Sheeran, The Beatles, Vance Joy, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, Santana, Bruno Mars, Guns 'n' Roses, and heaps more!
