Blue Mountains Guitar School

Blue Mountains Guitar School

Blue Mountains Guitar School offers professional tuition in traditional and contemporary acoustic guitar styles... the styles used by a diverse range of many of the world's finest singer-songwriters and guitarists. These artists share something in common... they all learnt how to fingerpick! They all learnt the same basic techniques... we can show you how.

We also teach the simple, yet effective strumming patterns used by countless artists including Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Paul Kelly, Joan Baez, Gillian Welch, Pete Murray and Bob Dylan, to name a few.

The lessons are based on Nigel Foote's Guitar Course ? a graded series of traditional and original tunes equally suitable for children, teenagers and adults ? a course designed to get people playing the guitar as quickly as possible.

"One of the things that really impressed me about Nigel's teaching methods was how quickly my three children were playing quite advanced songs. This was a great motivation for them." Jane Clyne, Blue Mountains, NSW

The lessons are usually one-on-one, but we also give 'parent and child' lessons (which is of great benefit to the child). We currently have a 50/50 child/adult student ratio and an age range of 6?80 years old.

At Blue Mountains Guitar School, we teach beginners, intermediate and advanced levels, prepare students for Year 11 and 12 music performance assessments... and beyond! We offer performance opportunities at music nights and also coach students in stagecraft and how to use a PA.
