Favourite Quote:

“Put ALL your eggs in ONE basket” – John Freiberg

Career Highlights: Being awarded The Guitar Gym’s April 2009 Student Of The Month.

Out of close to 500 students, Dan Evans has without doubt improved at a greater rate than any student John Freiberg has ever had.  Dan has been playing the guitar for just 5 short months and his results are “ridiculously out of this world”.  He is completely focused and committed to his playing, waking at 5.30am every morning without fail to train for not less than 1.5 hours before school – and he backs this up with another 1.5 hours each afternoon.

Dan is on the fast track to virtuosity – look out for this guy in the near future!

Note: Dan is pictured here in The Guitar Gym just absolutely ripping it up!  Sorry about the blurred fingers – no super speed shutter!!!

 

March 2009: Zachary “I eat swing charts for breakfast” Degnan

Axe: Fender Squire Stratocaster graphic series ‘obey’

Favourite Styles: Rock, Blues

Influences: Jack White and Angus Young

Favourite Quote: Yes kent!

Career Highlights: The Guitar Gym “Student of The Month” and being selected for the Kenmore High Big Band.

After training with John Freiberg at The Guitar Gym for just under a year, Zach has made tremendous improvements as a musician.  A keen player from the get go, Zach has a mature and diligent approach to practice and the results show.  His harmonic knowledge and improvisational ability are already at the level of musos far beyond his years.  At just 12 years of age, this fresh faced grade-8 lad auditioned for the Kenmore High Big Band, and secured a chair. The Kenmore High Big Band is renowned for its strong music extension program.
