Tom Howard Guitar Tuition

MY Mission

is to make learning Guitar an easy, enjoyable & effective process for all who wish to learn, whether you're a complete 1st day beginner who is feeling a bit intimidated and overwhelmed by it all, or a frustrated veteran seeking help to conquer that specific solo or technique.
Guitar Knowledge

Since first picking up a guitar in 2000, I’ve been learning and exploring the vast landscape of music, technique & theory. I’ve performed in bands, played in dozens music theatre shows, earned a UTAS BMus, and created hundreds of guitar videos for YouTube & TikTok.

Teaching Experience

Since 2007, I’ve been helping students of the guitar reach their goals, and I have learned as much from them as they have from me. I’ve accrued well over 10,000 teaching hours, and I’ve seen what works. My methods have been crafted around this experience, to bring you a streamlined yet flexible approach to guitar lessons.

Wide range of styles & techniques

•Finger Picking •Chords •Scales •Acoustic & Electric •Rhythm Guitar •Solos •Alternate Picking •Economy Picking •Sweep Picking •Tapping •Learning by Ear •Improvising •Jazz Chords •Metal •Rock •Blues

Range of Lesson Formats

You can opt for a traditional 30m one-on-one lesson, or for the more keen student a 60m is available. There’s online zoom lessons for those who can’t make it to the Murray St location, and if you prefer an ensemble style environment, Group Lessons are now on offer.

About Me

Guitar

is my passion. It’s changed my life, and helped me find fulfilment, connection and joy. My priority is to help others learn this mystical instrument, so that you too can enjoy the freeing feeling of strumming a few chords around the campfire, or soaring through a glorious solo to a dance floor of cheering fans. Learning a musical instrument is not only enjoyable, but great for the brain, whether you’re 6, or 60. It improves self esteem and problem solving skills. It reduces stress, and enhances creativity. Plus, it's just plain FUN.

Group Lessons

As well as the traditional one-on-one format of tutoring, GROUP LESSONS are also offered from Murray St.
These accommodate up to 4 students at once, and facilitate learning in an ensemble setting. Students enrol for a full term of 10 group lessons.
