Reviews
“I can well recommend Jarrah as a guitar/music teacher, he took me on as a retired person with no knowledge and playing ability and gave much time and understanding to my development. After 4 years of tuition, and much frustration, I can read music, understand some of the nuances of what I’m reading and I can play acoustic guitar fingerstyle reasonably well. Great teacher, great musician.”

“I have been fortunate enough to be enjoying guitar lessons with Jarrah for many years now. These lessons have given me methods to practice, ways to understand and interpret playing music and just recently song writing. Jarrah is a patient and inspiring music teacher..”

“I have been having lessons with Jarrah for almost 2 years. For someone who had never picked a guitar I was so nervous to begin this journey. Jarrah is incredibly patient, kind and he made me feel so comfortable to learn something so foreign to me. It has been heaps of fun and couldn’t imagine learning with anyone else he has been awesome!!”

“Fantastic place. I have had Guitar lessons with Jarrah for 4 years so far. As an older student I have found his patience and flexibility to adapt to my abilities have been extremely reassuring. His knowledge across all genres of guitar is second to none. Looking forward to many more years of learning and progressing”
