Hi Everyone it's Ryan Kershaw here
I've enjoyed teaching thousands of students over the years, with many becoming recording artists, professional musicians and music teachers themselves.
I combine your tastes in music with a fun, professional style to give you ideas and knowledge in an easy-to-understand way.
Complete beginners are very welcome
*note: these are for one-one-one lessons, not groups.
All styles covered from Rock to Classical, Jazz to Soft music, Acoustic and electric... underground and not-so-common styles taught as well.
100 % of my students undertaking composition and practical exams have passed with excellence, and I am here to help - whether your desire is to make your living from music... or simply to strum a few easy songs with friends.
Lesson costs: $60 hour

bob_your_uncle (714 Wednesday, 13 May 2026I've had online lessons with Ryan for a couple of months now. I was a little skeptical about having online classes instead of face to face, but it turns out to work really well. Ryan explains things in a way that's easy to understand and at a good pace. I'm really pleased to have him as my guitar tutor and will definitely continue for the foreseeable future.
sidb (74 Sunday, 18 May 2025I’ve been trying to unlock progress on the guitar for years. I didn’t know what I should be doing to get better so I just plinked away aimlessly not getting anywhere. If this sounds like you, and/or you’re ready to commit to getting better at guitar, get hold of Ryan now - he merges epic guitar demos that inspire you, with sage advice, focused and organised lessons and a professional and friendly approach to teaching that all together works wonders. More than happy to recommend him highly.
Ehsan62 (0 Tuesday, 6 May 2025Ryan is more than just a guitar teacher he's a mentor,a guide,and a source of inspiration.His passion for music is contagious,and his ability to break down complex concepts into accessible lessons is truly remarkable.What sets Ryan apart, however,is the way he connects with his students on a deeper level,understanding their unique goals and aspirations.His teaching style is not just about notes and chords,but about cultivating a sense of creativity,discipline,and self-expression.A true master
