Here's what some of the students have said…

Richard 11 & Michelle 9 Students
When I was looking for a guitar teacher for my children – Richard and Michelle, my colleague who is one of Hamish’s students recommended Hamish to me. After my children started the lesson with Hamish I strongly feel I’ve found the right teacher for my children. Hamish is very patient and encouraging. My children both enjoy going to guitar lessons every week.

My experience thus far has been one of attained knowledge and steady growth. I thoroughly enjoy each lesson, even if I haven’t practised and go into the lesson feeling less than capable, Hamish has a way of reflecting my apparent progression much to my surprise. Hamish has an unwavering passion for everything related to guitar and I find myself preaching his name to anyone keen to learn music.

Samuel 13 Student
My son has been having lessons with Hamish for more than 5 yrs. During that time Hamish has managed to keep Sam interested and motivated to learn more. I’ve watched Sam’s skills improve as well as his knowledge of music. On top of that Sam really enjoys coming to lessons. I ‘m more than happy to recommend Hamish to guitar players of all levels, he’s a fantastic teacher !

Mac 17 Student
We’ve known Hamish for almost 10 years so much so that Mondays wouldn’t feel right if we didn’t acknowledge Mac’s attendance at his lessons. Mac has grown into a confident young man who performs on stage at rock venues around Sydney. We adore Hamish for his suoport , patience and good humour. It can’t be easy taking students with no obvious ability and turning them into musicians but it must be very rewarding.! Thank you Hamish.

I never learned anything musical at school and have never been able to read music. Hamish assured me that this was no hindrance to learning guitar.I have however found it intellectually stimulating, sometimes difficult but always enjoyable. Hamish has shown endless patience with an old bastard.

Almost ready to give up, I found Hamish who is a teacher. He listens and teaches you the music that you relate to. He opens your mind and through discussion and observation has made the the journey fun !

I found Hamish - a musical treasure - hidden away underneath the Guitar Factory . If you need a professional, flexible and calm teacher - look no further than Hamish.

I would definitely recommend the Guitar Factory School to anybody, any level and any age who has an interest in music !

Monica Mum
I couldn't resist taking lessons after listening to Hamish teach my daughter for almost a year. Hamish is a great musician/teacher and is obviously very patient ! I love every lesson and always walk out of his studio feeling a little bit more in control of my guitar - instead of my guytar being in control of me ! Thanks so much.

Luca 10 Student
The Guitar Factory School was recommended by a friend. My son has been learning guitar for over a year and his playing ability has improved immensely over this time. He loves learning with Hamish because he is patient with him, makes the lesson fun and his knowledge is very broad. Thanks Hamish and the Guitar Factory School.

" You're never too old to learn". Hamish makes lessons fun and rewarding. Learning a new instrument can be daunting but with patience and practise it comes together. A good teacher makes all the difference. Call Hamish now !
