Professional working musicians as teachers
Posted by Gary on March 2, 2026

The point of difference with our music school as opposed to the forms of ‘rock schools’ and other franchised fad music schools is our teachers. We are not a company that skims the money for the organisation and pays low wages and consequently has very average and usually under-skilled and under-qualified teachers. This is a 2 person team that consists of 2 of the most sort after performers with a combined 2 lifetimes of expertise to pass along to students. Our fees range currently from between 45 and 50 dollars to have one on one half hr lessons with either Mark or Gary. Mark has toured the word playing in famous bands and still does. Gary has a bachelor of music and a bachelor of education and has refined teaching to a fine art on multiple instruments all while performing with some of the best musicians in the world a few times a week for over 30 years. If you want the best tuition there’s no substitute for expertise and real world experience. Reach out now for a lesson and compare what we offer with any of our competition, we are confident you can tell the difference very quickly!
