SINGLE LESSONS
PRIVATE ONE ON ONE
Available in 30 or 60 minutes.
If you're a beginner, single lessons are a great way to "test the water" and see if this instrument is something that truly resonates with you. Or for people whose schedules are a little more crazy and can just squeeze in an odd lesson here and there, this also works well. Or if you're an intermediate or advanced player it's a great way to quickly hone in on a specific part of your playing you are ready to excel in. Get in contact anytime for single lessons and I will do my best to get your lesson booked as soon as possible.

The 4-week courses for kids are all about fun, fun, fun and being completely inspired to play. These are available for kids 16 years and under. I tailor each 4-week Kids Course around exactly what the individual child specifically loves about music, speaking about their favourite musicians, bands, songs, etc, and learning how to play the exact things they love. I share vast knowledge and expertise in music theory, instrument techniques, and practice methods to make it as easy for them as possible whilst sharing all I can to assist them in growing into an all-around incredible musician. This is all done in a very fun and high vibrational way as I feel keeping the fun and inspiration in the kid's courses is what it's all about, to keep them wanting to play and not make practice boring, but something they absolutely love to do.

ABOUT ME
Hi Guys and Welcome
My name is Jay Hoad. I am a professional musician and have recorded, produced, and toured 7 albums of my original music throughout 42 countries independently over the last 15 years, averaging around 200 shows per year.
GuitarDidgeLessons.com was inspired by the 1000's of students I have taught throughout my life as a means to be able to keep teaching whilst touring my original music, so firstly a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you.
If you have been thinking about learning guitar, bass, or didgeridoo for a while, or are an intermediate or advanced player who feels they are ready to continue on to new heights, then you have come to the right place.
Throughout my career I have been blessed to tour and perform with so many incredible bands and musicians, my personal favourite was probably Bob Marley's "Wailers" on the 2013 North American Tour.
