Portrait of Lachlan Fitzgerald

Lachlan Fitzgerald

Teaching since 2017

  • Bass
  • Composition
  • Drums
  • Guitar
  • Music Theory
  • Piano
  • Production
  • Ukulele

Lachlan is a passionate and versatile musician who has played the guitar since the age of 10. He began teaching after high school and quickly accumulated 30 weekly students around the North Shore, primarily through word of mouth. This rapid succession allowed him to gain a lot of experience as a tutor in a short amount of time and develop a highly effective and sought-after method of teaching students of all ages. His fun approach to beginner guitar lessons made him an instant favourite among kids, whereas adults and more experienced students were able to appreciate his clear depth of understanding of the instrument and exceed their own expectations of progress. Lachlan’s youngest student was 3 years old whilst his oldest was 76; so he has always believed that you are never too old or too young to learn music.
