Hi, I’m Miranda Deutsch!
I am genuinely excited to be a part of someone’s musical journey! I have done some amazing gigs, performing nationally and internationally in a variety of genres – rock, folk, world, blues, gypsy jazz groups – but my passion for teaching music and helping people get to where they want to go on guitar, has superseded my passion for performing… I’ve taught for over fifteen years at music and performing arts schools and privately. My teaching experience combined with my formal music studies [Ad. Dip. Music Jazz Guitar, Bachelor of Music Studies – World Music, Cert IV Training and Assessment] and my performance experience, has led me to a great place where I can confidently teach and mentor guitarists from the beginner to performance stage (if that is the goal). I want to help YOU reach your goals just the way I have reached mine.
With our powers combined….!
