A Positive Impact for the Community
Circle of Guitars began when guitarist and educator Daniel Morabito was invited to teach guitar classes in Australian Catholic University’s student enrichment program. He quickly saw the positive impact on students, and the classes soon grew into a vibrant community program that welcomed people from diverse backgrounds to learn, play, and connect through music. Today, Circle of Guitars brings that same spirit to the wider community, offering professional, engaging learning experiences designed for everyone.
Daniel is a really good guitar teacher: he’s patient, knowledgeable, a clear communicator, intuitive, adaptable and responsive - but the best thing of all is he makes learning the guitar fun like it should be“ - Duncan
