Friendly small-group classes in Carrara. Easy parking. Bring your guitar.
Maybe you’ve had a guitar gathering dust for years.
Maybe you’ve tried YouTube, books, or even lessons — but still can’t get through a full song.
You’re not alone. Most of my students felt exactly the same way before they started.
Who Is This For?
Adults 40–75 who want to songs, not boring exercises to learn
Nervous starters who need a safe, relaxed room
People who learn best by doing (not reading music)
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
"The sessions are easy as they are straight forward, step by step instructions."
"It's very easy. Very achievable.. even my husband could do this (and he doesn't even play!)"
"A really easy way to learn new songs!"
Pick a time that suits you.
Leave having played a full song.
Same room, steady weekly progress.
Hi, I’m Allen. Over the past ten years, I’ve taught more than 5,200 hours of small-group guitar lessons for adults here on the Gold Coast.
Most of my students are over 40 and thought they’d “missed the boat” on learning guitar. What they discover is that it’s not about talent, theory, or hours of daily practice — it’s about taking small, simple steps that lead to real songs you can play for friends and family.
Allen in the Gold Coast School of Guitar studio — helping adults 40+ finally play songs.
My approach is:
Learn the songs you actually love
Go at your own pace without pressure
Focus on small wins that build confidence
No theory. No reading music or endless scales. Just songs, support, and a friendly space to enjoy learning.
Adults 40–70 getting through a full song together.
Come in for a free intro session and see how simple it can be to start playing the songs you love.
No. You will be with others at your skill level so you feel comfortable and supported.
No. You will learn by playing songs, not reading music.
I'll adapt chords and pace so you can play comfortably.
Any guitar, a pick, and an open mind.
Free street parking out front or around the corner. Easy second-floor studio access. No wheelchair access sorry.
You’ll play a full song, get honest next steps, zero pressure.
