Zanes Comments:

Congratulations Michael on becoming Guitarist of the Month, you have proved to be a very fast learner and someone who is dedicated to continued improvement!

Michael has been coming to Zane’s Guitar Tuition for the past 3 months, and has applied himself very well to all the tasks that I have given him. He is a guitarist that shows great potential, and someone that I believe has the self discipline, enthusiasm and drive to go all the way.

Keep up the good work mate, there is so much opportunity here in Perth for musicians like yourself who always go that extra mile..!!
