Classical/Spanish Guitarist, Lutenist and Vocalist

As a soloist I have performed for many functions including weddings and receptions and restaurants, performing classical and Spanish style guitar works in many varied styles; the music of the great composers, Bach and Chopin to Gershwin, Joplin, Cole Porter, and many modern day artists such as the Beatles, McLean, Elvis, Diamond, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and more.

Over the past five years I have been employed performing concerts for Vision Australia and Alzheimers Australia in week day concerts around Melbourne where I have included singing many old time hits from all areas.

I have developed a wide range of songs from Jazz and Blues to contempory songs with some interesting guitar arrangements. Renaissance Lute music is often requested prior to weddings or exhibitions.

Classical Guitar
I play wide range of composers such as Bach, Chopin, Lizst, Greig, Vivaldi etc as well as some beautiful solo guitar works from 19th century composers: Sor, Giuliani, Carcassi, etc. There is more recently some beautiful works in the style of Latin and Ragtime, as well as many lovely arrangements and improvisations in the celtic style.


I am a music teacher and performer with over 30 year experience as a guitarist and lutenist in the private and public school systems.

Some of the schools I have taught include:

  • Melbourne Grammar - 10 years
  • Toorak College - 9 years
  • Peninsula College – 6 years
  • Padua College – 9 years and others…

My duties included preparing students for examinations in AMEB and VCE, regular concerts and musical events for solo, duo and group situations.
