Anthony begun learning the guitar at the age of 14 after initially being inspired by the music of Nirvana. He first started learning at Guitar Village in Frankston and learnt for a year before his teacher showed him a thing called “classical guitar”.
Once he commenced learning classical guitar he worked through the AMEB grades and then by the time he was in VCE he knew that he wanted to study classical guitar at VCA.
He then begun getting serious about his music making and eventually got accepted into the Victorian college of the arts school of music.
After graduating from VCA Anthony he began teaching and performing anywhere he could from busking to restaurants and recitals and really enjoys being a musician within the community.

Joseph Joseph is long time guitarist with real-life industry experience garnered by playing live in multiple bands, ensembles, acoustic acts and even an orchestra. He is currently studying his Bachelor Degree of Music. His method of teaching is very student and technique centric. This means lessons often involve learning a song of the student’s choosing. And then analysing all the techniques within the piece in great detail and crafting exercises around them to improve performance of the piece as well as skill on the instrument as a whole. This allows for students to become adept whilst learning songs they are passionate about. He is also well versed in the VCE curriculum and is able to guide and mentor his students through that process. Joseph is willing and able to teach all styles of music. His specialties however include; Rock, Metal and Progressive..
