GUITAR TUITION ON SYDNEY'S NORTH SHORE

web_04C.jpg

HI THERE,
MY NAME IS
BONNIE MACKINNON

Teaching people how to play music is the best job in the world ... I really love it.
I know I'm biased, but I feel that music is one of the most important aspects of human culture,
an honest expression of who we are.
I see it as truly one of our best inventions.
When I play music, it connects me to other people ...
or calms me down ... or helps me focus ...
or heals my wounds ...
or makes me energised ...
and a myriad of other benefits.
I know that others

feel this too.

" A strange art - music - the most poetic and precise of all the arts, vague as a dream and precise as algebra."
