About Me

Hi, I’m Steve Bailey – Kiwi Guitar’s founder, owner and tutor.

If you’re keen to learn how to play guitar, I’m keen to help you discover the world of music and find out where you fit.

I’ve had a long, colourful and fulfilling relationship with music – on the road with various bands across England and Australasia, camped out in recording studios, creating original songs and putting my own spin on quality cover tracks.

From working as a session musician for advertising jingles through to managing my own covers band, ‘Swingshift’, I’ve seen the music industry from all angles and know what it means to make a living as a professional musician.

I started offering guitar lessons for beginners part-time to supplement my income. I taught a few friends for fun, then discovered I really enjoyed teaching.

I’ve worked hard over the years to develop my own musical style, and I’m keen to help new players discover and create their own.

Guitar Lessons at Home

Having your guitar lessons at home can be a great option if you’re time poor, have transport struggles, or simply enjoy the ease of learning in your own space.

I travel to teach within Central Auckland, East Auckland, and West Auckland. From Parnell to Glendowie in the East, from Westmere to Mt Albert out West, and everywhere in between. It’s the most convenient option for guitar lessons East Auckland, West Auckland and the central suburbs have to offer, and a service that’s currently unique to Kiwi Guitar.

You’ll enjoy all the convenience and benefits of learning in your home plus flexible payments, customised lesson structure, and full focus on what you need to get the best out of your music. What you can achieve is limited only by your dedication and the routines you set around practicing, and I am available for practical advice on homework or buying music gear at any time.

To discuss having your guitar lessons at home, please get in touch – I’m happy to discuss your requirements and negotiate depending on location.
