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.

I am a professional double bass player and educator with an international performance pedigree, holding a Bachelor of Music (Jazz Performance) from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Since 2022, I have maintained a prolific career as a full-time freelance musician and private tutor, currently holding residencies at several of Sydney’s premier music venues.
Originally from London and raised in San Francisco, my musical foundation began with classical piano before I transitioned to the double bass in Year 6. My early development was shaped by the vibrant California jazz scene, leading to advanced studies at the California Jazz Conservatory (formerly Berkeley Jazz School). During this time, I honed my craft in elite small ensembles and big bands under the direction of Grammy-nominated educators such as Wayne Wallace.
Following several years of performing across diverse musical settings in California, I relocated to Australia in 2017 to study under the renowned Craig Scott. Today, my professional output spans:
• Performance: Extensive experience in symphony orchestras, Jazz Big Bands, and small jazz ensembles.
• Accompaniment: Versatility in accompanying vocalists across musical theatre, pop, and jazz genres.
• Specializations: Expertise in traditional New Orleans jazz, standard repertoire, and modern improvisation.
As an educator, I leverage my real-world experience as a working musician to provide students with practical, high-level mentorship. While my recent teaching focus has been on private adult students, I am highly skilled in guiding pupils through audition preparation, ear training, and music theory. I bring a patient, passionate, and disciplined approach to the classroom, dedicated to helping students bridge the gap between technical theory and professional performance.
