Single Lessons

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.

About

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.
