Teacher Spotlight: Ziggy

Get to know some of our lovely teachers here at Cantabile!

Ziggy, Guitar

How long have you been playing the guitar and why did you pick it up?

I started playing guitar when I was 5 because my parents wanted me to learn an instrument. I kept playing because I found a lot of things I really liked about it.

What do you like the most about your instrument?

The aspect of the guitar that I like the most is wide range of different sounds it can make. It’s one of the few instruments that can change its timbres easily and frequently.

What do you like the most about teaching at Cantabile?

I like the organisation and diligence from the staff at Cantabile.

Quick advice for students:

Only practice on the days you eat

Reminder:

If you wish to register for an AMEB Examination this year, your last chance to register will be on the 25th July, 2018 for Metropolitan 5 (8th October to 19th November)

Please tell your teacher or speak to the Front Desk if you are ready to enrol for the AMEB Examination.

A special congratulations as well to our String Program students who made their inaugural debut at the concert. We are so proud of all of you!
