Top tier guitar lessons in Melbourne
Throughout my musical journey, I’ve had the privilege of playing alongside and learning from legends like Tommy Emmanuel and Bruce Clarke. My experiences touring the country and sharing the stage with many of Australia’s music greats have deeply enriched my understanding of the guitar. These invaluable experiences now inform the way I teach and guide my students.
Personalised Guitar Lessons in Melbourne
Now, I’m excited to offer guitar lessons in Melbourne from my studio in Box Hill. I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to each session, helping my students on their own musical paths. My approach is rooted in real-world experience, ensuring that each lesson is both practical and inspiring.
Structured Learning with Built-In Flexibility
My lessons follow a structured plan that provides a clear pathway to progress, yet they are flexible enough to accommodate your unique needs and interests. Whether you’re focusing on mastering the basics or exploring advanced techniques, the lessons are tailored to your goals.
Challenging and Supportive Environment
We’ll move at a pace that suits you, but I’ll also challenge you to expand your skills and deepen your understanding of the guitar. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, these lessons will support you in becoming a more confident and skilled guitarist. My goal is to help you grow as a musician while enjoying the journey.
The power of private guitar lessons
Individual attention is a key factor in achieving musical success. In private guitar lessons, the one-on-one connection between teacher and student is invaluable. It allows for a tailored approach that addresses your unique needs and goals, making the learning process more efficient and enjoyable.
I have been passionately playing and teaching guitar throughout my adult life, and I find immense joy in watching my students progress. The personal connection we build in one-on-one lessons is a crucial element that fosters a supportive and motivating environment. This connection not only accelerates your progress but also makes each lesson engaging and fun.
Why Private Lessons Outshine Group Classes
While group classes have their place, they can often hold you back. In a group setting, the teacher’s attention is divided among several students, which means less individualised feedback and slower progress. The pace of the class is dictated by the group’s average level, which can be frustrating if you’re either more advanced or need more time on certain concepts.
In contrast, private lessons allow us to focus exclusively on your strengths and areas for improvement. We can dive deep into techniques, styles, and songs that resonate with you, ensuring that every minute spent is productive and aligned with your musical interests. This personalised approach not only keeps you motivated but also helps you achieve your specific goals more quickly.
Customised Learning and Faster Progress
One-on-one instruction provides the flexibility to adapt each lesson to your evolving skills and interests. We can quickly adjust our focus based on your progress, ensuring that you’re always challenged without feeling overwhelmed. This adaptability is missing in group classes, where the curriculum must cater to a broad range of abilities and interests.
Ultimately, private guitar lessons are the best option if you’re serious about making significant strides in your playing. By working closely together, we can ensure that you receive the guidance, support, and personalised instruction you need to reach your full potential as a guitar player.
What past and present students say …

Mike Henwood
I needed a teacher who would give me a solid foundation upon which to build. Someone who was very patient, warm, friendly, who was clear and easy to understand. Above all a teacher who was as committed to my progress as I was.
Guitar Player
Michelle Smith
In a male-dominated area like guitar playing, I have always felt entirely comfortable with Ross. He is unfailingly patient, and always encourages technical precision while keeping things fun and exciting. I’ve already fulfilled most of the aspirations.
Flexible Delivery: In-Person or Online
For years, I’ve been using technology to connect with ‘Fun on the Frets’ students across Australia and overseas. Whether you’re far away or have a tight schedule, online lessons are a great option if attending in-person sessions in Melbourne/Box Hill isn’t feasible.
You’ll receive the same personalised instruction and materials, whether you choose online or in-person lessons.
With the flexibility to learn online, in-person at my Box Hill studio, or a mix of both, we can tailor the lessons to fit your needs.
Let’s work together to find the best solution for you.
