Drum and Guitar Lessons

I love teaching and feel blessed to have been doing something I love since giving my first drum lesson in 1979; I offer not only complete courses on Drums and Guitar from entry to advanced levels but also specialist lessons for anyone already playing needing a quick brush-up or a few rut-breaking pointers. So ...

Where?
Seabrook Victoria, in the studio you see on Melbourne Musos
When?
Mondays to Thursdays
What?
All levels from beginner to absurdly complex!
How much?
$30 per 30 minute lesson.

Why?
Music is moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness and a gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good, true and beautiful. Plato , a philosopher who drummed from 427-347 b.c.

Classical Music

Symphony One - Everyday Anxieties

mm418 - Symphony Number One - Everyday Anxieties

What's it all about?

.... With this work, aired June 2008, I tried to convey the sense of "Everyday Anxieties" we have to live and deal with: The constant threat to our Security, Environment, Fears ... to our Loves and Passions .... the long road we are on to so-called "fullfillment" ...

Technically speaking, the music is written for full Orchestra, the video footage comes from my travels over the last 5 years ... I hope you enjoy it. I've also written music in three movements for dance called "The Inner Child", and String Quartet No.1 ... you can also hear a few other pieces on the MySpace Music Page

Welcome to the website, come in and look around .... :)
