About

Steve Zirkler - Surfers Paradise & Bonogin, Gold Coast -offers Music Tuition, Live Music and Wedding Celebrant Services.

I tutor guitar and vocal and cover various styles. I read music so I can show you through a formal program such as Trinity Music College Of London which has exam options. As I play and sing, regularly performing live around the Gold Coast, my repertoire includes songs ranging from classic through to pop and rock.

I have an extensive file of materials I have collected and prepared to give you an organised lesson covering all the elements of a good music program.

That would include chording, lead guitar, improvising, solo and part music across a range of genres. For singers, I try to include elements that will help your overall musical development, not just sing songs but to help you understand the detail you need to work with machines or a band. I have a range of other instruments I play including harmonica, recorder, bass, banjo, mandolin, ukulele and keyboard. As most musicians are interested in all kinds of things musical, I can share this knowledge with you as we go.

I include the use of various technologies through my lessons including live music, music production software and the tools connected with all of these inputs.

I generally teach music from the afternoon into evening. I tutor from my studio in Surfers, and Bonogin. For some students I do home visits. My PDF books on singing, guitar & mandolin are available for sale by request.

I am a professional registered and qualified teacher and aside from my passion for Music have special interest in ESL, literacy Math and Japanese.

Experience

I have been tutoring around 25 years for private music lessons, mainly guitar, vocals, yet also bass, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, keyboard, mandolin & recorder.

Qualifications

I have an Education degree and am registered as a teacher with Qld Education and QLD College Of Teachers (also Blue Card registered).
