“I never would’ve believed that I would have the confidence to perform and write songs, and now I’m even in a band…

I could cautiously say that I might almost be a musician!

I remember offering up to Dylan in my first consultation that I had a secret dream to be a lounge singer – and now I’m actually becoming one. Life is full of music now!”

“I feel I’ve learnt more here in the past 3 months than I have in the last 5 years. The nice thing for me is I feel like it sticks, and I don’t feel like I’ve learnt it and it’s just “gone”. My playing has dramatically improved, along with my confidence in what I’m playing… It feels like a safe place to learn and a good place to learn. It’s better than any teacher I’ve experienced before.”

“You can always look stuff up on YouTube … but when you do lessons you’re put on a pathway and you stick to that pathway, instead of just learning this and this… You constantly get rewarded by what you’re learning; sometimes you are pushed in your lessons (in a good way) and it’s really rewarding.”

“I was learning mainly from YouTube and my playing wasn’t really going anywhere. The lessons are really well structured at AGS … I thought I couldn’t improvise but I feel very comfortable now (after 6 months), and more confident, and that has improved my playing a lot.”

“I think for me it was a whole new experience because it actually made me want to go home and practise and learn.

It opened my eyes and my ears to a lot of things… If you are self-taught and you rely on that, there are a lot of patches that need to be fixed and I think it’s good to have someone guide you through. ”
