The main focus of our guitar program is fostering correct technique – if followed correctly and with regular practice, students can make the progress of what would normally take seven years of regular lessons, in one year on our program.

We have a number of exercises and scale practice routines that help develop highly facile technique. Correct guitar posture and Alexander Technique comprise a large part of our program. We have taught a number of this country's leading guitarists and successful pop/rock artists.

Since 2001 we have thrice produced the VCE top cat for guitar in Victoria.

Our guitar ensemble is regularly asked to perform at major events throughout Australia and has been invited to perform at Parliament House.
