Looking for students. I teach electric and acoustic guitar, bass and ukulele.
I am a guitarist of many years' experience. In the late 1970s I was involved in workshops and seminars at the Conservatorium of Music, while playing music professionally in clubs, backing artists and at band gigs.
From the early to mid-1980s - toured with many artists and bands, including; Roberta Flack, Renee Geyer, Leon Berger Band, Doug Parkinson, Marcia Hines, Julie Anthony, The Seekers and have performed with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra backing James Galway, while at the same time working as a session musician for jingle and record producers in Sydney.
Between 2005 and 2014 - was one of the most performed screen composers in Australia. See: www.whitenoiseproductions.com.au
I have been on the judging panel of the APRA/AGSC Screen Music Awards for the last 20 years.
There are examples of my guitar playing in various styles here:

REFERENCE:
Re: Brenton WHITE
Mosman NSW
I have five children, all of whom have had guitar lessons over the past two decades, with
various teachers. Currently Brenton White is instructing my 12 y.o. daughter in electric bass and
guitar. She has had two previous teachers.
Without a doubt, Brenton is the best instructor we have ever employed. He is a natural teacher,
something which cannot be learned. His lessons are well planned and methodical and are
executed with diligence and professionalism. My daughter’s progress, and her grasp of music in
general, has been most impressive under his tutelage. The teaching material via White Noise
Productions, of which Brenton is the principal and founder, is particularly helpful.
Brenton’s practical and academic command of music is beyond dispute. He is a widely
respected performer and acknowledged as one of Australia’s leading screen composers.
I can recommend him as a music teacher without any hesitation whatsoever.
I would be happy to amplify these remarks verbally if required.
