MUSIC TUITION
After spending 22 years building a private tuition business on the central coast of NSW, I have now moved my services to the online world and am teaching via satellite from a cabin in a valley on a river in lutruwita / Tasmania.
Harmonica, banjo, guitars, didge, song writing and mentoring are all available at the touch of a screen or a keyboard. We use Zoom for the lessons and your individual audio exercises and support notation are available 24/7 using a program called Basecamp, where you have a private log in and private access.
We’re living in the future and it’s not all bad. The result for clients has been positive, empowering and valuable.
Drop me a line if you would like to explore any of the musical options I have listed and we will make it happen.
Cheers

“Scott is an amazing human who genuinely loves teaching people to play an instrument and sharing the joy that music brings. I am learning to play the Harmonica through Zoom, which makes it so easy as I don’t have to drive anywhere….so I’m never late. Reception is fantastic it’s like being in the same room to be honest, I forget we are talking through a computer. Scott is so easy to get along with, makes you feel relaxed, and has a wonderful ability to explain things in different ways until you understand it.” - Jo Scarr
PRE-PRODUCTION / PRODUCING
In my experience one of the most important steps to creating a recording that you are happy with is taking the time to pay attention and respect to the song. Pre-production is preparation for recording. Arranging and fine-tuning lyric melody and putting the time into vocal delivery and phrasing.
The supporting background for the voice will often become obvious once you have taken the time to truly become acquainted with the song and have cut the diamond from the rough. Songs require attention, respect and craft and when you commit to pre-production the recording process is always far more enjoyable, rewarding and satisfying.
It’s all about the songs.
MENTORING
Mentoring is about sharing experience, empowering the artist/player and helping demystify some of the more daunting aspects of making music and working as a professional musician. It is about supporting the artist to find their unique sound and voice. The knowledge and experience I have gained after forty odd years as a touring and recording artist combined with a private teaching business has been hard fought. By sharing my insights and experience I can help to nurture and empower your signature sound and voice in what can be a challenging profession.
