"Bernie has an amazing ability to cater to his student's musical needs. He's been able to meet the needs of our son's eclectic musical tastes - from electric, acoustic to bass guitar."  J. B.

"Bernie makes learning fun. He teaches the songs my son wants to learn, breaks down each lesson or new concept so it's easy to learn. And he knows just about every song I can think of." C. R.

"Geoffrey really loves his lessons and after eight months, he sounds like a musician. Thank you." R. H.

"Steven loves his guitar lessons every week. He didn't have any musical background when he started with Bernie. Steven always looks forward to Wednesdays and practices every day. We look forward to the recital and signing up for the next session." D. E.

A spacious and airy music lesson area in the front room of our home with three bay-windows facing the street side. I have extra guitar amplifiers and cables so there is no need to bring yours along. There is also a waiting area for mums or dads (or brothers or sisters) (or grand-mums or dads) who wish to wait during the lesson time.
