Chenny has been teaching my 2 children for several years He has taught them to love guitar and to express themselves through music. He is encouraging without being pushy, teaches the love of the instrument with optional exams opportunities and is creative with his approach to suit different ages and characters

Great tutor, highly experienced in both teaching and playing guitar. Very nice and approachable, my son loves to go to the lessons.

Chenny has been a great guitar teacher for my daughter for the past four years. He is a fun, supportive and motivating teacher, who tailors his lessons to the individual student. Highly recommended!

Both my son and I have had lessons over a number of years with Chenny, Chenny is a knowledgeable, insightful and patient teacher and we enjoyed every minute of every lesson we had. We both made good progress and left each lesson excited about what we were learning. Highly recommend Chenny for any one at any stage of their guitar playing journey.

Chenny has been an inspiration to our son, as he has a wealth of experience in a band himself and plays songs that our son enjoys. He is incredibly patient, caring and concerned that his students are enjoying their lesson's, hence our son is still keen after 3 years learning with Chenny. We could not recommend Chenny enough.

Chenny teaches my 10 year old guitar and is friendly, incredibly patient and supportive. He always encourages my son to explore new songs and to find music that inspires him.

Awesome teacher that makes it easy to get back into guitar.

Chenny is Awesome! My son is excited for his guitar lesson every week and has progressed considerably in his time with Chenny. We find Chenny to be a relaxed and patient teacher who really connects with our son and nurtures his musical taste. I have recommended Chenny to several people already and would have no hesitation in doing so to others. My sons band came 3rd in the National Intermediate Bandquest in 2020 and Chenny undoubtedly helped perfect his playing for that competition.

Chenny has the biggest smile I've seen on a teacher. He is welcoming, an attentive listener, responsive to needs and desires (eg. the type of music I wanted to learn), and encouraging. Although a complete beginner, Chenny made me feel successful right away. One of the best teachers I've encountered - and with a mother and sister as teacher, and children at school, I've experienced many!

Chenny is a very capable guitar tutor. He has a laid back, friendly attitude and my son has improved his guitar playing enormously since going to him 3years ago. He makes lessons fun and informative. I would highly recommend him as a guitar tutor !

Chenny is a fantastic teacher. My son loves lessons with him and has improved greatly, particularly with individual tutoring over the summer holidays. I found Chenny to be punctual and welcoming, and quick to respond to my messages & questions. My son says, "Chenny is kind and patient and took things slowly if I was struggling. He has a really good sense of humour and is an awesome guitar player! He acknowledges my improvements and that makes me feel like I'm getting somewhere".

Very patient and awesome tutor. You can feel he really ensures you to learn but at the same time enjoy music without pressure! You can see his spirit in guitar in the lesson which makes you like guitar even more! I can say that he is the best guitar tutor in NZ! I am so lucky to have Chenny to be my guitar mentor in my life and you will definitely grow and learn a lot with him! I am just very sad that I have to leave NZ otherwise I will continue to be his student indefinitely.

Chenny is patient, fun and so humble about how incredibly talented he is at music and at teaching music. I've learnt a lot and he's helped me push past learning plateaus to learn some cool licks, become more technical and have more confidence with improv. Highly recommend to spend some time with him for guitar players at all levels - you will definitely come away having learnt something new.

Was taking lessons from Chenny for a few months and only stopped as I had to move. Such a great teacher patient and helps you learn or your favourite songs. Could not have asked for a better teacher.

I have been learning Guitar from Chenny for 2 years, I'm always impressed by his excellent teaching skills as long as his humbleness and patience. He could make me tailored plan which suits my level and expection. I can see the improvement and happy to stay and I also would like to recommend Chenny to my friends.

Chenny! I was getting back into guitar after a loooong absence. Chenny made learning quite fun - took his time in explaining things, gave me relevant things to practice, and we learnt music that I was interested in to keep me motivated. Really cares about his students and their learning/ wellbeing and this is noticeable in every class. Great teacher. Highly highly recommend

I am really happy with Chenny’s lessons. He is a very patient and very encouraging with my daughter. He chooses enjoyable pieces of music and my daughter looks forward to her lessons every week. She has made amazing progress in the short time she’s picked up guitar. I highly recommend Chenny to all :)

Hey Chenny. I just wanted to say a big thank you for introducing me to my awesome Base Guitar. This is an outlet that I look forward to every week. I would also like to thank you for your exceptional patience with my very busy schedule. If you weren't so understanding, I'm sure I would not have continued what I am enjoying. Thank you Chenny. A note to all of you out there. My tutor Chenny is best, being genuinely patient and caring. Once you try him out, you'll never change tutors.

Chenny is a great teacher. Less then a month in I could already play a couple different songs, 2 months on learning bar cords! Great listener with a relaxed style that makes it easy to learn. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is new to guitar.

Chenny is a great listener and lets you play what you want to play. He also suggests other music to try and I learned a lot . He is kind and respectful and interested in what music style and artists you like. We would highly recommend Chenny as a guitar teacher.

Awesome guy, awesome teacher. He is the step that you have been looking for, between learning yourself online and actually becoming fluent in the language of music. He makes it fun, exciting and really makes you want to show him how much you have improved, making you practice more than you have before. Would recommend him to everyone.

As all the multiple reviewers have already stated - Chenny is a great instructor. Passionate, patient, skilled. knowledgeable, talented and most importantly fun! Absolutely recommend!!!

I can not recommend Chenny highly enough as a guitar tutor. Not only does he have a genuine and positive nature but he also has a great skill at finding what 'drives' his pupil and playing to their strengths. My son started lessons with him in July 2016 and in February 2017 he successfully auditioned for guitarist of his school rock band. A truly amazing result and I know much of this is thanks to Chenny's fantastic guidance. Regardless of your age or skill level, you won't regret calling him!

I would just like to recommend Chenny to anyone looking for a guitar tutor. Very experienced but friendly and patient as well. Vast array of songs to choose from but Chenny is happy to teach you those songs you've always wished you could play. So if want to learn how to play the guitar but have been putting it off maybe now is the time to 'Just do it'. Thanks Chenny.

Chenny is fantastic! The kids have been learning from Chenny since the beginning of the year and have improved 10 fold. Chenny has a lovely nature and is great at building the confidence in both my 13 and 11 year old. He has a wonderful mix of building on the guitar basics and keeping the kids inspired with great pieces of music that are fun to play which include challenging chord combinations. The kids love it and feel like rock stars at every lesson!

We are so glad we found Chenny. Very patient and passionate guitar teacher. Both my kids are now learning guitar from him, and are showing good skill progression while enjoying music. We would definitely recommend him highly for anyone wanting to pick up guitar.

A reliable and natural tutor with a calm, welcoming and inspiring personality. I personally thoroughly enjoy and look forward to every invaluable session as I develop my guitar playing. Having started in my early twenties, Chen's influence has been pivotal in picking the guitar up and progressing. I would highly recommend him.

Passionate Guitarist and Passionate Guitar Tutor. He is not just there to teach you, he is also there to enjoy the music with you, guide you through and let you flow with the music. Not one of those teachers who give you a new music sheet every week and ask you to practise at home and doesn't even guide you through and expect you to learn it yourself. Chenny is well organise, reliable, and also get you what you wanted from the beginning. Well worth the value of what you paid for.

Chenny is amazing!!! I wish I knew about him before!!! Every class I fell I'm improving my skills. He is VERY nice and reliable, beyond my expectations. Recommend to everyone that wanna learn music and guitar!! Brilliant! :)

Great Teacher, makes things fun and easy to learn

I've only been to Chenny's lesson less than 10 times and I already have confidence to accompany on guitar.

Chenny has taught, inspired and guided my son with his guitar playing for over 2 years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. he has gone above and beyond what I would expect from a music teacher. For anyone wanting for a guitar teacher, look no further!! Sarah

Chenny is brilliant! My 10 year old daughter has been having weekly lessons for almost a year, and he has been a brilliant teacher. She has really taken off with her guitar, and more importantly she really enjoys going along. He is very approachable and friendly - I couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Highly recommended. Chenny's teaching style adapts to all situations and he is patient and gentle, giving nervous students the pleasure of looking forward to a lesson. I am a mature student who knew absolutely nothing about playing the guitar. I can now play simple tunes e.g. 'Happy Birthday" with confidence and enjoyment and understand a lot about guitar theory after only 5 months tuition :0)

My 14-year-old son is now into his 3rd year of lessons with Chenny. Chenny is patient, kind and inspiring and more importantly for a 14-yr-old, cool! My son learns music that he likes and discovers new artists through playing. Chenny's lessons are great value for money and he is incredibly reliable with excellent communication. Can't recommend highly enough.

My 8 year old daughter has been taking lessons from Chenny for one year now and she still looks forward to going every week without fail. She really enjoys his lessons and has already given a little concert for her classmates. We are very happy with her progress and appreciate Chenny's regular progress report. Thanks Chenny.

Wow what an amazing guitar teacher and so patient, my daughter is thoroughly enjoying the classes and has learnt so much a real credit to you Chenny . Chenny keeps the music they learn current and keeps them really excited to learn..

So far (only 3 months in) My lessons seem to be going well, Chenny is very flexible with arranging times that suit both, and moving times when needed. Asking the learning what type of music they wish to learn/lean towards is a big plus for me. I'm still waiting for my guitar playing to bring in hordes of groupies, but Chenny has assured me this will come with time.

Chenny is the friendliest, most attentive and helpful music teacher I've ever had. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

Chenny is an excellent guitar tutor and I really appreciate his knowledge, flexibility and patience. As I'm in my late 30s, I thought I'd probably missed my chance to learn an instrument, but Chenny's support is proving invaluable. I really enjoy the sessions I have with him, and his passion for music is what I need to stay focused on the task at hand.

Chenny is an amazing guitar teacher for our 13-year-old son. When asked what he likes about Chenny's teaching he said Chenny relates well, is interested in what he's doing and explains things over again in a kind way if it's not initially understood. Our son has found a love of music, inspired by Chenny's style of teaching and personality and also Chenny's own fantastic skills on guitar. We don't have to push our boy to practice anymore as he wants to be better and absolutely loves his lessons.

Chenny is an amazing teacher with patience, compassion and great knowledge and talent. My son is thoroughly enjoying his lessons and has such a passion for guitar. I am sure this is a credit to Chenny who makes lessons fun and enjoyable. In a relatively short space of time my son has shown fantastic results and we are really proud. Thanks Chenny for the great work and effort it is much appreciated.

Chenny is a great teacher who I can rely on to make each lesson tailored to my needs and my guitar playing skill is improving even thought I have been playing for nearly 7 years. He is always giving me songs from different genres to expand my musical knowledge and playing ability. I like that he is always cheerful and enthusiastic.

Chenny has been a fantastic guitar teacher for me over the past 6 months. I found him as he teaches at the school I work at. He has been able to identify my next steps and help me to make massive improvements, he is also flexible in song choice. Great value for money!

I really enjoy learning from Chenny. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and the lessons are very good value. He has quickly become attuned to my ability and has helped me set a clear path to becoming a better guitarist!

My son has learned more in the last few lessons with Chenny than he did for a year with school lessons. His enthusiasm in his music enspires my son to want to practice and he really looks forward to his lessons. Thankyou

Very good, friendly, patient and easy guitar teacher. Me and my son enjoy every moment of it during the lesson. We actually looking forward to it every week. Really learn a lot through him and most importantly its worth the money. Highly recommended. Les.
