Hi – I’m Maurice and if you’re looking for guitar lessons and/or other musical services (eg backing tracks) in the Lane Cove/Chatswood area or online…you’ve come to the right place ! 🙂

Among other musical adventures, I have been a guitarist since childhood and a professional guitar tutor since 1982. My approach is to keep the lessons as “live” as possible – and to craft arrangements of your favourite music which are uniquely suited to your style and level of playing, from beginner to advanced. Each student is welcome to a personal folder on my Google Drive, so that digital copies of the arrangements can be uploaded in real time in either standard or TAB format (with musical background information supplied as needed). If you are looking for a more structured tuition environment, I have successfully guided many students through the original AMEB course (Australian Musical Examination Board) as well as their new RockSchool option.

My lifelong passion for the guitar has taken me on a journey through a vast array of styles, genres & methods, both as student during the 60s and 70s, and as teacher from the early 80s.

I like to make use of all available tools: fingerstyle arrangements, guitar solo transcriptions, various course books, rhythm charts, standard notation, guitar tablature, a library of popular songs, jazz, blues, rock, latin, acoustic, electric, fusion & beyond.

Pratice tools such as MIDI song files & audio backing tracks are a favourite with students, and are supplied as needed.

Assessments (eg AMEB), HSC tutoring (my son Aaron was featured in the Honours Roll in HSC Music, 2006), & band training (several of my students, eg Daniel Pliner and Nikos Andronicos are distinguished professional musicians/entertainers in the Sydney music scene).

Look forward to meeting you!

Evening & weekend lessons available.
