How It All began
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

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need experience to join?
While anyone can join the group classes, it is generally helpful to know the fundamentals of guitar playing such as string names & how to read chord diagrams before joining group classes. If you are completely new to guitar playing you may want to book private lessons to help get you started.
Do you offer a trial class?
New students have the option to pay a casual fee for the first class, followed by either choosing to pay for the term or continuing to attend on a casual basis.
How are classes with combined playing levels different from regular classes?
The combined class is structured to cater for multiple playing levels at once by offering a middle ground between levels. This type of class works best for students who like a slightly challenging learning environment and want to progress quicker.
