About

Stu Black

Music tutor with many years of teaching experience through out the northern rivers catering for all ages and experience from beginner to advanced students.

I am a professional gigging musician who loves teaching those willing to learn, for the more advanced students I offer a clear and concise teaching method with a focus on theory so the student truly understands their instrument. For the beginner the lessons are fun and encouraging making their experience as enjoyable as possible.

I can assist year 12 students prepare for performance exams with arrangement or re-harmonization of charts, help develop sight-reading and technique correction.

Having studied at Southern Cross University in the contemporary music program I am well aware of what is expected of 1st year students and can help prepare students for university studies if they wish to pursue a contemporary music degree.

Lessons $25 per 1/2 hr

Teaching in a clean air-conditioned creative environment my aim is to provide concise music pedagogy that is enjoyable rewarding and fulfilling. I also have a small but clean 18-channel digital studio, situated in a lush garden setting in sleepy East Ballina this cosy creative space offers very competitive rates for recording and mixing with a vast amount of equipment available (see equipment list below).
